Can you so kindly explain why the page "Pharmatek" has been deleted? I cited the significance of the company and did not include any promotional language. I gutted it down to the least but it still seemed to get deleted. Do you have any suggestions or advice for creating the website for the company???? ( EunChae0928 ( talk) 23:52, 31 July 2015 (UTC))

Write an article for Texas Commission on the Arts [2], and write it in a way so that people will be impressed and be willing to donate huge sums of money to us. Also write articles about all our employees, improve articles of our employees such as Polly Sowell, and make it a stand out agency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Texas Commission on the Arts ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
Excuse me? Delete article? Are you here to build Wikipedia or destroy it? I found you from Categories: Wikipedia administrators, meaning you are getting paid by Wikipedia to build it, while you are sitting on you ass and doing nothing. And yes serving on the commission makes someone notable, a lot more notable than you. As for Polly Sowell, she was Vice Chairman of the Texas Republican Party in 1972! Tell someone else to do the job if you are too old and lazy for it. I don't want to have to report you. But if you attempt to vandalize any of our employees's article including Polly Sowell, or related articles I will report you and delete all your edits. I'll be keeping an eye on you, so be careful!-- Texas Commission on the Arts ( talk) 22:28, 1 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi David, thanks for taking an interest in my work on WP, providing constructive feedback to me on BLP's, and for giving considerable thought to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission article.
I want to share with you my latest observations with respect to Raidelaide and the high probability of this being a case of WP:SPA. User:Raidelaide and I have discussed at length ways to improve the article, and I am in agreement with many of the points he/she has made. It was suggested that 'forking out' of article content should occur, and I responded in agreement, but warned that I would not be able to commence such work until September, given the need to appropriately integrate the 'forked out' content into respective pages.
I was not, as Raidelaide has inferred here, attempting to dominate or control the article, merely expressing caution with respect to a new editor which had previously made a destructive edit which ignored WP:Preserve.
Today I visited the article, ready to roll up my sleeves and commence the heady work of forking out content from a long (agreed, much too long) article- and I found that all the content Raidelaide had expressed an interest in had already been deleted, not forked out at all.
My discussions with Raidelaide can be read in full on the article's respective Talk page. The number of references in the article plummeted from around 230 to around 60. While Raidelaide has clearly studied many WP policies in detail (in many cases, in greater length than I am yet to) this apparent indifference towards WP:Preserve is a major inconsistency.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this, and will attempt some forking out using History pages in the mean time.
Best,

Hey Dave, I noticed you suggested merging at Nash Engineering Company, is this what you think is best?

Also, would you care to comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Doug Baldwin (writer)? Cheers! SwisterTwister talk 07:01, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Dear colleague! I have in Wikipedia in Russian a status , which permits me to make decisions to delete or keep an article or some other page. Today, someone created a Russian translation of this "article". Another user candidated it for speedy deletion (empty or very short article without encyclopedic content), and I deleted it. Possibly, it is here not A1 but A3 (I am not a professor about the rules of Wikipedia in English); it is also A7: the "article" contains three links, two of which point directly to microsoft.com, and one to a site of a person working at Microsoft — so, independent authoritative sources are not presented. Why do not you want to delete that page? Gamliel Fishkin 11:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
This is a BLP article that apparently has been the subject of COI editing. It reads like a laundry list/CV to me and not an encyclopedia article, and I am very uncertain how to make this an encyclopedia article. If you are interested, I would like your opinion on the first, and if you have the time and agree it is not encyclopedic, I would love to see how you would edit it, to make it right. Issue is a bit loaded as we have had an editor protesting at COIN that the COI concerns are cloaking anti-asian bias. Jytdog ( talk) 13:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi DGG. I recently wrote an article about Bridgenex and received a notice that it was deleted due to A7, an eligible subject with an article that doesn't explain it's importance. I'm wondering if you have any tips on how I can change that. I tried to remain impartial and neutral. However, Bridgenex is very notable and I don't know how I can edit the article differently. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you! schiappetta ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

I think we could perhaps revert Korea Deposit Insurance Corporation back to before the SPAs Kianpark and Kdic1130 added loads of stuff to it.

Hello, DGG: This is a learning opportunity, precautionary, procedural transparency note and a self-audit request for your opinion. I don't think this is a particular issue really, and nothing is specifically needed unless you deem appropriate. From our previous interactions (thank you) as well as your input in various discussions on the corpus I have identified you as being a good source for me to pose a self-audit opinion question, please. The background is Interlude (interactive video), which has had a very long history on the AfC pathway but which had not advanced from draft to mainspace. I had edited the article a while ago and then left it be for a long time. It showed up on my Draft article list as the article with my most edits that had not been advanced. I then saw it had just been resubmitted and rejected again. I then went back to it and implemented the various AfC recommendations, step by step. I trimmed from 16683 bytes to 12760 bytes, a good proportion of which is hidden text, that I propose to soon remove. I also rearranged and reorganized the text elements. Having extensively followed all of the AfC suggestions, rather than submitting through another AfC review, which I thought might not be useful, I advanced the article to mainspace as, although imperfect, it now seems to me to be reasonable for dissemination. This will also avail it of a greater use pool for any upgrading needed. Because I sidestepped further AfC input, I hatted the text as a new article, for procedural transparency and also to trigger a NPP review. I propose to remove the hidden text once there has been an opportunity for mainspace comments. This note is not about any proposed changes to the article itself so much as a placeholder for auditing any input regarding the procedures I followed. I do not see people doing this much, but my searching didn't find a prohibition on stepping off the AfC path and tagging it as a new article either. No reply is needed unless you deem appropriate, but please let me know if I was way off on this individualized process. (I am not proposing to make this a routine thing.)

You think this should be nominated for AfD to see if it's fully notable? Achieving all that would suggest at least some notability but my searches found nothing good specifically about him ( here, here and here and there's probably more at local news sources) and I simply think the article could a little better.

Can you take a look at this situation? Ultimately what we have here is a case where I think that someone's conflict of interest is too strong.
User:009o9 wrote an article at the request of Robert Eringer, who has paid him for the article. That I do not have a problem with since he disclosed this and ran it through AfC. However I think that his COI is causing him to see more notability than there is. Here's my issue:
I voiced these concerns quite clearly on the article and 009o9's response was to tell me that I was wrong and to resubmit it without any attempt to find further sources. I absolutely hate to say this, but I do think that his conflict of interest is posing too strong of an issue here. If he'd tried to find other sources I wouldn't have had an issue, but for him to just say "no, you're wrong" and to resubmit it is very, very troubling. If you believe that this passes NBOOK in its current state I'll accept that - my only requirement is that the self-published Amazon and Goodreads reviews have to go.

About your edit summary here: are you sure this is a thing? I've csd tagged quite a few articles at MfD before, and nobody seemed to be particularly bothered. Also in this particular case it was the guy who created the MfD speedy tagging. If he had taken one extra step and withdrawn the MfD before tagging, would you have deleted the page?

I recently asked User:Daniel Case to review some DYK noms I planned (see User talk:Daniel Case#DYK which includes broadnose sevengill shark), I think this could easily be a GA or FA and I noticed today's FA is Entoloma sinuatum (which looks close to my article's detail and sourcing). You'll notice the broadnose sevengill shark was significantly improved (and is by far notable) and has quite a bit of info for a "Data Deficient" species. Thoughts?

Hi, I was wondering why you felt the page /info/en/?search=Make_It_Cheaper needed deleting? When writing the page I provided all notable references as asked to by the moderators and the business type and page is very similar to sites such as Moneysupermarket.com and Gocompare.com. I made a comment in the talk section to see if changing the title to Makeitcheaper.com would help? Also I cannot see any promotional tone in the article.
If you could provide any feedback I would be most grateful.
Thanks,

Smustieles, see WP:Articles for deletion/Make It Cheaper for a full explanation. I will take a look a the other articles you mention--at least half our articles on small and new businesses are based only on their press agentry. In earlier years WP accepted many such promotional articles, but as we have become a more attractive place for attempted advertising, our standards have risen. It will be many years until we remove the 50,000 or so articles we need to get rid of, but the least we can do is not add to them. DGG ( talk ) 12:40, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
DGG Thank you for getting back to me on this and for the full explanation. When submitting the article I changed the references numerous times as per the advice of the moderators who were evaluating its inclusion. I also took out any text that could be deemed promotional as this is in no way an advertisement for the company. I tried to model the page based on
Simply Business as this is a similar type of business to Make It Cheaper. If it is the references that are an issue I can try to find more suitable ones that adhere to the notability guidelines.

)) is good practice, and facilitates discussion by helping identify the author of a particular comment.
DGG, You have recently tagged an article that I contributed to citing G11, and it was subsequently deleted. This article is written in a neutral viewpoint, it is not spam and it is non promotional. I followed the Wikipedia guidelines and worked through Article for Submission with other editors. The MaxxCAT Search Appliance is notable in the Search Appliance segment. It is notable for it speed and was instrumental in helping to push the search appliance into popularity along with Google GSA, Thunderstone and others. Proper channels were followed to ensure proper referencing and attribution to notable sources. MaxxCAT is notable globally among IT professionals in Enterprise Level Corporations. Please help me get the page reinstated, or if you could make the content userfied I've asked TokyoGirl as well, I'm not sure who has the ability to do so) so we can discuss what qualified it as G11, I can make the proper edits. This was a very fast deletion and I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it with you. GForsytheMC ( talk) 14:05, 10 August 2015 (UTC)GForsytheMC
GForsytheMC, either of us could restore it. I don't intend to, but if by any chance Tokyogirl79 does, I will give you a short chance to rewrite it before I nominate it for a deletion discussion. without it being vey much changed. The article is an advertisement for the following reasons:
In addition it is not clear that it meets the notability standard--the references outside the company site are mostly press releases and articles merely mentioning it among other products. Even what might look like a review (in TMC) is just a reprint of a company press release "MaxxCat says...." You need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements or based on press releases. DGG ( talk ) 17:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
DGG Thank you for the response all of your points are well received. I will change it extensively to remove all that concerns you. All I ask, is that you keep an open mind to restoration of the page. I have read your bio and I know you desire good content on wikipedia, so I am asking again to please restore it so I have an opportunity to make it right. A little knowledge and advice goes a long way toward creating a better wiki. I desire this article to be professionally written, to be encyclopedic, and to address all of your concerns at the same time. It was never my intent for it to be an advertisement, but rather an important reference to a product that is very notable and influential in the Search Appliance space. That's why I didn't create the article directly and submitted it through AfC so others like yourself could work with me on creating a good article. Obviously this left some things that needed corrected. I was shocked to get such a rapid G11, but with your explanation, I can see what lead to the G11 and where it could have been improved.
Tokyogirl79, DGG Thank You, you have been very helpful, I certainly want to avoid this in the future. I don't hope to be a paid editor, I just want to contribute in this space where I am knowledgable and help to keep other articles updated with accurate content. Are either of you willing to take a look at my draft or can either of you recommend someone who is good at AfC reviews. GForsytheMC ( talk) 11:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)GForsytheMC

a. I have shortened the article considerably b. Dates of degrees, and the dates of previous positions are now given in the sidebar c. References 5 and 6 have been added to provide the desired reference to" independent, reliable, published sources" for the importance of Alexander’s work. d. I have removed the list of Alexander's notable publications as this seemed more like a CV heading

Hi DGG, If I'm reading the Berkley Center's edits correctly, I believe you were the person who posted the two warnings that currently appear on the page. What do we need to do to remove those? I have gone in an added additional non-BC sources to diversify the references but I don't want to do too much more to the page given the other warning. For a time, I believe there were Berkley Center students who may have been adding to the page, which might have caused some of these issues. Thanks for any help you can provide. The page is quite innocuous, we mainly just want to get the warnings removed. I am getting weekly calls from my boss about this.

Dear DGG: I write seeking specific feedback on why you deleted a page for Alignment Artist Capital /info/en/?search=Alignment_Artist_Capital. You deemed unambiguous advertising/promotion as the reason; however, to suggest that is to suggest that anyone creating a wikipedia page for any commercial venture, enterprise, social cause or individual is, by default, engaging in some form of advertising or promotion. In this particular instance, the entity is new, concerns public figures from the music industry as well as an established financial institution and has been subject to a range of news articles and discussions from reputable publications.
The music industry, the preservation of intellectual property by creators, the means by which artists who create and perform music can secure resources to continue to create and more related topics are of interest to the public, are dynamic and controversial. Alignment Artist Capital is an entity at the intersection of these aforemention subjects.
I would greatly appreciate specific feedback on what can be done to reinstate this entry. Thank you.

Helllo DGG! I would like to know is it possible to take out my page "www.northerntransmissions.com" from spam list? i was not trying to promote my page, i just wanted to put some information about this music magazine, and because i am new here, i didn't expect that this can happen, I think, that the page is very important for wikipedia for several reasons: 1) Because this is old Canadian music magazine, and my friend spent 20 years of his life for developing it, and i think people has to know it. 2) It's very informative source about music as in Canada as worldwide 3) Because it helps artist and people to communicate with each other.
Page was deleted at 00:16, 26 July 2015 I look forward to hearing from you, thanks a lot!
Cheers, Yuri
Thanks for letting me know. Could you do an undelete of this so I can retrieve the text and totally rewrite it to guidelines?

DGG! Thanks for putting effort in at Olfa_Youssef. However, one of your edits left a malformed template, and perhaps it's because I'm not used to using the improve template, but I'm not even quite sure what it's trying to say. So you may want to take a look and fix it for what you intended. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 04:16, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi DGG,
(This is a continuation of similar threads on your talk page in 2012 and 2014). I have been away for a few months, and when I started editing again, I was hoping to be left alone to help build areas that, in my opinion, are sorely lacking.
On 8 August 2015 5 I found a little visited article about a very important organization: Condo Owners Association (Ontario) (which has an article here under the incorrect name) and at 17:10 I started renovating the whole area surrounding Category:Condominium on Wikipedia. According to recent news reports 50% of new home buyers in Toronto are now purchasing condos, and the number of condo owners is staggering, considering how little information exists on Wikipedia on this topic.
As usual, however, it appears that my efforts to build up have attracted the attention of the deletionist faction. By August 9 the article that was getting no attention at all for months, was up for wp:AfD, and instead of continuing my efforts to built this neglected Codominium area, I find myself spending more and more time getting into conflicts with other editors intent on deleting whatever else is associated with this article. I seem to have been unsuccessful in trying to convince another admin that the article that is now getting very little attention at AfD should be moved to its correct official name.
This is very discouraging, and I know that posting this on your talk page will undoubtably bring out more of the same, sigh… Ottawahitech ( talk) 07:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
It also looks like posting a link to an article at Helpdesk is a good way to send existing long-time articles to
wp:AfD. See for example
Wikipedia:Help_desk#Lynn_Walsh, I think.

I wanted to gain your opinion on this article. I started it and it's been expanded by User:LovinTheSunshine. This is either a very very good expansion or a somewhat WP:UNDUE situation. None of their edits have been problematic but this is also the only article they've edited since joining. I've asked on their page to gauge if there is a COI but the first question is the WP:UNDUE aspect regarding the court martial and it is well presented so I don't want to mangle it either. Would appreciate a look see when you have a moment. Hell in a Bucket ( talk) 02:29, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi DGG, I had recently created a page entitled /info/en/?search=Lisa_Schultz and when I hit save it was posted. You have recently deleted it. Is it possible to move it back into draft status so that we may may make edits so that it is compliant? Most of the information was lifted directly from a recently approved Wiki article, but it had not been edited before it was posted.
Thank you.

Hi, I noticed your proposed deletion of Western acceptance of Iranian uranium enrichment -- are you saying this is an unjustifiable split from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Nuclear Program of Iran, Negotiations leading to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or some combination? I think it is justifiable because the acceptance article can look at a much narrower topic (simply uranium enrichment), while staying away from other issues such as sanctions, ballistic missiles, committee hearings, Arak, Parchin, reprocessing, Iran-IAEA agreements, and so forth. This will make it possible to go into more depth on the narrower topic -- there is a lot to say about it -- though the article does not do so, yet.
Two more pieces of information which are two-edged swords (on the deletion question), but certainly relevant in any case -- the authors of the other article believe it would be "duplicative" to explicitly say that the Obama policy has reversed the Bush policy. The reader can tease that out, of course, but the article does not say it explicitly. I think this can be looked at two ways -- on the one hand, it makes this article look like a POV fork; on the other hand, the statement is clearly both true and encyclopedeic, which suggests that Wikipedia should have an article where it fits in.
Additionally, I earlier started an article on Nuclear concessions to Iran, which did pass initial review. This article passed initial curation but currently does not exist, mainly because User:Neutrality insisted that it was a POV fork and a coatrack, and furthermore that the information in that article could go into the JCPOA article -- though subsequent events are causing me to doubt the accuracy of this last assertion -- and frankly, appears to be more willing to keep reverting than I am. I don't know what the process is for such situations, but I want to keep on the "good side" of Wikipedia policy and therefore have lately not pressed the issue. I don't know if "concessions" is a coatrack or not -- certainly plenty of speeches have been given about it. But by keeping the focus narrower, as I am doing here, I was hoping to avoid that issue. The overall picture is a bit disconcerting -- the article which arguably has second issue (coatrack) did pass initial review, while this one, which pretty clearly does not have the second issue, did not pass initial review. I realize that no one person intended that upside-down state of affairs, but there it is. Iran nuclear weapons 2 ( talk) 22:17, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi DDG,
could you please give me more pratical hints on what the article misses for acceptance? According to previous reviewers, I changed the writing style, I shortened the whole article, I added independend and reliable sources (Austrian television broadcasting service, newspaper articles, radio reports etc.) as well as references to done research work, but apparently this is not enough.
In addition, I don’t understand the claim that the page reads more like an advertisement, as the content is based on the information of a public University and not a private company website trying to attract possible customers.

Hi DGG. I got caught up in a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music community, which was getting a lot of "delete" votes. The subject seemed notable, although the article was a mess, so I rewrote the article completely, blanked the page and replaced it with my version. I think the result is o.k. as a start. The same "delete" votes started popping up. It turns out the underlying cause is this blog site article. Several of the delete voters have basically said they do not mind having an article on the subject, but want to get rid of all history of the former article. I was wondering if you care to comment on the AfD discussion, not on the merits of the article, but on getting rid of a past version because it is being ridiculed by a blog site?

My tentative inference: If you want to persuade in an AfD, better to avoid the first mention of "shit". (Though I wonder what Tyler Vigen would say.)

Hi, thank you very much for explaining what I need to do to make my article look more like an encyclopedia. Sorry that my article came across as a press release, as a new user to Wikipedia I was encouraged to cite as much vital information as possible to make the article look credible, all the judges which were listed I would of presumed were very important factors of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards being that they are some of the most influential persons within Architecture and Design throughout the world and they are an integral part of the history of the awards. I have looked at other awards articles and there are similar lists of actors names and such, could you outline for me what the difference was with the information I submitted? Also looking at the article now, could you also help with any other ways I could clean things up? Kind regards,

Just questioning your rejection of a duplicate-speedy. So far as I can see Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute is the same thing as King's College London School of Medicine: the latter article opens by calling itself "Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medical Education" and it mentions how the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals was merged into it in 1998.
List of dental schools in the United Kingdom describes the Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute as the "Result of a merger with King's College London and United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in 1998. Known as GKT School of Medicine until 2005." - GKT School of Medicine redirects to King's College London School of Medicine.
So far as I can tell, "Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute" was just the first redlink at List of dental schools in the United Kingdom, and User:AndreeaMi appears to have clicked the first two redlinks and written articles there, with a spam ref to DentalSchoolRequirements.org at the bottom of each.

Hi David, thanks for taking an interest in my work on WP, providing constructive feedback to me on BLP's, and for giving considerable thought to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission article.
I want to share with you my latest observations with respect to Raidelaide and the high probability of this being a case of WP:SPA. User:Raidelaide and I have discussed at length ways to improve the article, and I am in agreement with many of the points he/she has made. It was suggested that 'forking out' of article content should occur, and I responded in agreement, but warned that I would not be able to commence such work until September, given the need to appropriately integrate the 'forked out' content into respective pages.
I was not, as Raidelaide has inferred here, attempting to dominate or control the article, merely expressing caution with respect to a new editor which had previously made a destructive edit which ignored WP:Preserve.
Today I visited the article, ready to roll up my sleeves and commence the heady work of forking out content from a long (agreed, much too long) article- and I found that all the content Raidelaide had expressed an interest in had already been deleted, not forked out at all.
My discussions with Raidelaide can be read in full on the article's respective Talk page. The number of references in the article plummeted from around 230 to around 60. While Raidelaide has clearly studied many WP policies in detail (in many cases, in greater length than I am yet to) this apparent indifference towards WP:Preserve is a major inconsistency.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this, and will attempt some forking out using History pages in the mean time.
Best,

Dear colleague! I have in Wikipedia in Russian a status , which permits me to make decisions to delete or keep an article or some other page. Today, someone created a Russian translation of this "article". Another user candidated it for speedy deletion (empty or very short article without encyclopedic content), and I deleted it. Possibly, it is here not A1 but A3 (I am not a professor about the rules of Wikipedia in English); it is also A7: the "article" contains three links, two of which point directly to microsoft.com, and one to a site of a person working at Microsoft — so, independent authoritative sources are not presented. Why do not you want to delete that page? Gamliel Fishkin 11:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
This is a BLP article that apparently has been the subject of COI editing. It reads like a laundry list/CV to me and not an encyclopedia article, and I am very uncertain how to make this an encyclopedia article. If you are interested, I would like your opinion on the first, and if you have the time and agree it is not encyclopedic, I would love to see how you would edit it, to make it right. Issue is a bit loaded as we have had an editor protesting at COIN that the COI concerns are cloaking anti-asian bias. Jytdog ( talk) 13:43, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi DGG. I recently wrote an article about Bridgenex and received a notice that it was deleted due to A7, an eligible subject with an article that doesn't explain it's importance. I'm wondering if you have any tips on how I can change that. I tried to remain impartial and neutral. However, Bridgenex is very notable and I don't know how I can edit the article differently. I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you! schiappetta ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi David, thanks for taking an interest in my work on WP, providing constructive feedback to me on BLP's, and for giving considerable thought to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission article.
I want to share with you my latest observations with respect to Raidelaide and the high probability of this being a case of WP:SPA. User:Raidelaide and I have discussed at length ways to improve the article, and I am in agreement with many of the points he/she has made. It was suggested that 'forking out' of article content should occur, and I responded in agreement, but warned that I would not be able to commence such work until September, given the need to appropriately integrate the 'forked out' content into respective pages.
I was not, as Raidelaide has inferred here, attempting to dominate or control the article, merely expressing caution with respect to a new editor which had previously made a destructive edit which ignored WP:Preserve.
Today I visited the article, ready to roll up my sleeves and commence the heady work of forking out content from a long (agreed, much too long) article- and I found that all the content Raidelaide had expressed an interest in had already been deleted, not forked out at all.
My discussions with Raidelaide can be read in full on the article's respective Talk page. The number of references in the article plummeted from around 230 to around 60. While Raidelaide has clearly studied many WP policies in detail (in many cases, in greater length than I am yet to) this apparent indifference towards WP:Preserve is a major inconsistency.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this, and will attempt some forking out using History pages in the mean time.
Best,

Hello, DGG: This is a learning opportunity, precautionary, procedural transparency note and a self-audit request for your opinion. I don't think this is a particular issue really, and nothing is specifically needed unless you deem appropriate. From our previous interactions (thank you) as well as your input in various discussions on the corpus I have identified you as being a good source for me to pose a self-audit opinion question, please. The background is Interlude (interactive video), which has had a very long history on the AfC pathway but which had not advanced from draft to mainspace. I had edited the article a while ago and then left it be for a long time. It showed up on my Draft article list as the article with my most edits that had not been advanced. I then saw it had just been resubmitted and rejected again. I then went back to it and implemented the various AfC recommendations, step by step. I trimmed from 16683 bytes to 12760 bytes, a good proportion of which is hidden text, that I propose to soon remove. I also rearranged and reorganized the text elements. Having extensively followed all of the AfC suggestions, rather than submitting through another AfC review, which I thought might not be useful, I advanced the article to mainspace as, although imperfect, it now seems to me to be reasonable for dissemination. This will also avail it of a greater use pool for any upgrading needed. Because I sidestepped further AfC input, I hatted the text as a new article, for procedural transparency and also to trigger a NPP review. I propose to remove the hidden text once there has been an opportunity for mainspace comments. This note is not about any proposed changes to the article itself so much as a placeholder for auditing any input regarding the procedures I followed. I do not see people doing this much, but my searching didn't find a prohibition on stepping off the AfC path and tagging it as a new article either. No reply is needed unless you deem appropriate, but please let me know if I was way off on this individualized process. (I am not proposing to make this a routine thing.)

You think this should be nominated for AfD to see if it's fully notable? Achieving all that would suggest at least some notability but my searches found nothing good specifically about him ( here, here and here and there's probably more at local news sources) and I simply think the article could a little better.

Can you take a look at this situation? Ultimately what we have here is a case where I think that someone's conflict of interest is too strong.
User:009o9 wrote an article at the request of Robert Eringer, who has paid him for the article. That I do not have a problem with since he disclosed this and ran it through AfC. However I think that his COI is causing him to see more notability than there is. Here's my issue:
I voiced these concerns quite clearly on the article and 009o9's response was to tell me that I was wrong and to resubmit it without any attempt to find further sources. I absolutely hate to say this, but I do think that his conflict of interest is posing too strong of an issue here. If he'd tried to find other sources I wouldn't have had an issue, but for him to just say "no, you're wrong" and to resubmit it is very, very troubling. If you believe that this passes NBOOK in its current state I'll accept that - my only requirement is that the self-published Amazon and Goodreads reviews have to go.

I recently asked User:Daniel Case to review some DYK noms I planned (see User talk:Daniel Case#DYK which includes broadnose sevengill shark), I think this could easily be a GA or FA and I noticed today's FA is Entoloma sinuatum (which looks close to my article's detail and sourcing). You'll notice the broadnose sevengill shark was significantly improved (and is by far notable) and has quite a bit of info for a "Data Deficient" species. Thoughts?

Hi, I was wondering why you felt the page /info/en/?search=Make_It_Cheaper needed deleting? When writing the page I provided all notable references as asked to by the moderators and the business type and page is very similar to sites such as Moneysupermarket.com and Gocompare.com. I made a comment in the talk section to see if changing the title to Makeitcheaper.com would help? Also I cannot see any promotional tone in the article.
If you could provide any feedback I would be most grateful.

Smustieles, see WP:Articles for deletion/Make It Cheaper for a full explanation. I will take a look a the other articles you mention--at least half our articles on small and new businesses are based only on their press agentry. In earlier years WP accepted many such promotional articles, but as we have become a more attractive place for attempted advertising, our standards have risen. It will be many years until we remove the 50,000 or so articles we need to get rid of, but the least we can do is not add to them. DGG ( talk ) 12:40, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
DGG Thank you for getting back to me on this and for the full explanation. When submitting the article I changed the references numerous times as per the advice of the moderators who were evaluating its inclusion. I also took out any text that could be deemed promotional as this is in no way an advertisement for the company. I tried to model the page based on
Simply Business as this is a similar type of business to Make It Cheaper. If it is the references that are an issue I can try to find more suitable ones that adhere to the notability guidelines.

)) is good practice, and facilitates discussion by helping identify the author of a particular comment.
DGG, You have recently tagged an article that I contributed to citing G11, and it was subsequently deleted. This article is written in a neutral viewpoint, it is not spam and it is non promotional. I followed the Wikipedia guidelines and worked through Article for Submission with other editors. The MaxxCAT Search Appliance is notable in the Search Appliance segment. It is notable for it speed and was instrumental in helping to push the search appliance into popularity along with Google GSA, Thunderstone and others. Proper channels were followed to ensure proper referencing and attribution to notable sources. MaxxCAT is notable globally among IT professionals in Enterprise Level Corporations. Please help me get the page reinstated, or if you could make the content userfied I've asked TokyoGirl as well, I'm not sure who has the ability to do so) so we can discuss what qualified it as G11, I can make the proper edits. This was a very fast deletion and I didn't have the opportunity to discuss it with you. GForsytheMC ( talk) 14:05, 10 August 2015 (UTC)GForsytheMC
GForsytheMC, either of us could restore it. I don't intend to, but if by any chance Tokyogirl79 does, I will give you a short chance to rewrite it before I nominate it for a deletion discussion. without it being vey much changed. The article is an advertisement for the following reasons:
In addition it is not clear that it meets the notability standard--the references outside the company site are mostly press releases and articles merely mentioning it among other products. Even what might look like a review (in TMC) is just a reprint of a company press release "MaxxCat says...." You need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements or based on press releases. DGG ( talk ) 17:46, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
DGG Thank you for the response all of your points are well received. I will change it extensively to remove all that concerns you. All I ask, is that you keep an open mind to restoration of the page. I have read your bio and I know you desire good content on wikipedia, so I am asking again to please restore it so I have an opportunity to make it right. A little knowledge and advice goes a long way toward creating a better wiki. I desire this article to be professionally written, to be encyclopedic, and to address all of your concerns at the same time. It was never my intent for it to be an advertisement, but rather an important reference to a product that is very notable and influential in the Search Appliance space. That's why I didn't create the article directly and submitted it through AfC so others like yourself could work with me on creating a good article. Obviously this left some things that needed corrected. I was shocked to get such a rapid G11, but with your explanation, I can see what lead to the G11 and where it could have been improved.
Tokyogirl79, DGG Thank You, you have been very helpful, I certainly want to avoid this in the future. I don't hope to be a paid editor, I just want to contribute in this space where I am knowledgable and help to keep other articles updated with accurate content. Are either of you willing to take a look at my draft or can either of you recommend someone who is good at AfC reviews. GForsytheMC ( talk) 11:52, 11 August 2015 (UTC)GForsytheMC

Hi DGG, If I'm reading the Berkley Center's edits correctly, I believe you were the person who posted the two warnings that currently appear on the page. What do we need to do to remove those? I have gone in an added additional non-BC sources to diversify the references but I don't want to do too much more to the page given the other warning. For a time, I believe there were Berkley Center students who may have been adding to the page, which might have caused some of these issues. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Dear DGG: I write seeking specific feedback on why you deleted a page for Alignment Artist Capital /info/en/?search=Alignment_Artist_Capital. You deemed unambiguous advertising/promotion as the reason; however, to suggest that is to suggest that anyone creating a wikipedia page for any commercial venture, enterprise, social cause or individual is, by default, engaging in some form of advertising or promotion. In this particular instance, the entity is new, concerns public figures from the music industry as well as an established financial institution and has been subject to a range of news articles and discussions from reputable publications.
The music industry, the preservation of intellectual property by creators, the means by which artists who create and perform music can secure resources to continue to create and more related topics are of interest to the public, are dynamic and controversial. Alignment Artist Capital is an entity at the intersection of these aforemention subjects.
I would greatly appreciate specific feedback on what can be done to reinstate this entry. Thank you.

Helllo DGG! I would like to know is it possible to take out my page "www.northerntransmissions.com" from spam list? i was not trying to promote my page, i just wanted to put some information about this music magazine, and because i am new here, i didn't expect that this can happen, I think, that the page is very important for wikipedia for several reasons: 1) Because this is old Canadian music magazine, and my friend spent 20 years of his life for developing it, and i think people has to know it. 2) It's very informative source about music as in Canada as worldwide 3) Because it helps artist and people to communicate with each other.

Hi DGG,
(This is a continuation of similar threads on your talk page in 2012 and 2014). I have been away for a few months, and when I started editing again, I was hoping to be left alone to help build areas that, in my opinion, are sorely lacking.
On 8 August 2015 5 I found a little visited article about a very important organization: Condo Owners Association (Ontario) (which has an article here under the incorrect name) and at 17:10 I started renovating the whole area surrounding Category:Condominium on Wikipedia. According to recent news reports 50% of new home buyers in Toronto are now purchasing condos, and the number of condo owners is staggering, considering how little information exists on Wikipedia on this topic.
As usual, however, it appears that my efforts to build up have attracted the attention of the deletionist faction. By August 9 the article that was getting no attention at all for months, was up for wp:AfD, and instead of continuing my efforts to built this neglected Codominium area, I find myself spending more and more time getting into conflicts with other editors intent on deleting whatever else is associated with this article. I seem to have been unsuccessful in trying to convince another admin that the article that is now getting very little attention at AfD should be moved to its correct official name.
This is very discouraging, and I know that posting this on your talk page will undoubtably bring out more of the same, sigh… Ottawahitech ( talk) 07:21, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed your proposed deletion of Western acceptance of Iranian uranium enrichment -- are you saying this is an unjustifiable split from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, Nuclear Program of Iran, Negotiations leading to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or some combination? I think it is justifiable because the acceptance article can look at a much narrower topic (simply uranium enrichment), while staying away from other issues such as sanctions, ballistic missiles, committee hearings, Arak, Parchin, reprocessing, Iran-IAEA agreements, and so forth. This will make it possible to go into more depth on the narrower topic -- there is a lot to say about it -- though the article does not do so, yet.
Two more pieces of information which are two-edged swords (on the deletion question), but certainly relevant in any case -- the authors of the other article believe it would be "duplicative" to explicitly say that the Obama policy has reversed the Bush policy. The reader can tease that out, of course, but the article does not say it explicitly. I think this can be looked at two ways -- on the one hand, it makes this article look like a POV fork; on the other hand, the statement is clearly both true and encyclopedeic, which suggests that Wikipedia should have an article where it fits in.
Additionally, I earlier started an article on Nuclear concessions to Iran, which did pass initial review. This article passed initial curation but currently does not exist, mainly because User:Neutrality insisted that it was a POV fork and a coatrack, and furthermore that the information in that article could go into the JCPOA article -- though subsequent events are causing me to doubt the accuracy of this last assertion -- and frankly, appears to be more willing to keep reverting than I am. I don't know what the process is for such situations, but I want to keep on the "good side" of Wikipedia policy and therefore have lately not pressed the issue. I don't know if "concessions" is a coatrack or not -- certainly plenty of speeches have been given about it. But by keeping the focus narrower, as I am doing here, I was hoping to avoid that issue. The overall picture is a bit disconcerting -- the article which arguably has second issue (coatrack) did pass initial review, while this one, which pretty clearly does not have the second issue, did not pass initial review. I realize that no one person intended that upside-down state of affairs, but there it is. Iran nuclear weapons 2 ( talk) 22:17, 15 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi DDG,
could you please give me more pratical hints on what the article misses for acceptance? According to previous reviewers, I changed the writing style, I shortened the whole article, I added independend and reliable sources (Austrian television broadcasting service, newspaper articles, radio reports etc.) as well as references to done research work, but apparently this is not enough.
In addition, I don’t understand the claim that the page reads more like an advertisement, as the content is based on the information of a public University and not a private company website trying to attract possible customers.

To meet notability standards, many more publications, links and references as well as redirects to Wiki articles have been added.

Thanks for reverting a Speedy at Make It Cheaper, which obviously deserved to be fully considered. I wish more Administrators were as rational. Yours sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 05:52, 17 August 2015 (UTC) |
Can you please help me understand why you deleted this? I checked the page when it was posted and it seems solid to me. There is a legitimate claim that this org is long time educational institutes. There was no discussion either. It was not an ad, and is no different than other certification agencies that are granted Wikipedia status. I'd appreciate a conversation and community debate here as well. Thank you Juda S. Engelmayer ( talk) 14:10, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
I am the creator of this piece. I would ask for its restoration, as there was nothing wrong with it. It was valid, referenced, and represents a genuine facility that provides education and certification. This group certifies just like a associate school, DeVry for example, TCI, and its certifications are as valid as EMTs. Veggies 2 ( talk) 14:26, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Hallo David
Could you check whether the new article Kumar Atul is any improvement on the one which was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atul Kumar (2nd nomination)? (Assuming it's the same person). The names have been reversed because the correct title is salted. Thanks. Pam D 19:44, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi DGG. I got caught up in a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music community, which was getting a lot of "delete" votes. The subject seemed notable, although the article was a mess, so I rewrote the article completely, blanked the page and replaced it with my version. I think the result is o.k. as a start. The same "delete" votes started popping up. It turns out the underlying cause is this blog site article. Several of the delete voters have basically said they do not mind having an article on the subject, but want to get rid of all history of the former article. I was wondering if you care to comment on the AfD discussion, not on the merits of the article, but on getting rid of a past version because it is being ridiculed by a blog site? Thanks, Aymatth2 ( talk) 19:10, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
Do you think this book is notable? The page about its author ( Harry Braun) is up for AFD currently. The book is held in 62 libraries, according to Worldcat. [9] Is that enough? There is not much reliable source coverage except for a mention here. Everymorning (talk) 22:18, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
Interested in your thoughts. Jytdog ( talk) 08:44, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
I belatedly draw your attention to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Koto Okubo (2nd nomination). (As this has finished, I hope that my message will not be decried as "canvassing".)
There's a curious leitmotif of poop. Here, in more or less chronological ordure:
My tentative inference: If you want to persuade in an AfD, better to avoid the first mention of "shit". (Though I wonder what Tyler Vigen would say.)
Actually my favorite argument in this AfD for the biographee's notability is that she was "one of the very few women to have held the title of 'oldest woman' in the world and not also 'oldest person'". Uhh.... -- Hoary ( talk) 23:28, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

It was superb finally getting to meet you! I only got to hear the last bit of your talk but was quite intrigued. I look forward to seeing you and the rest of the NYC crew next time around. All the best — MusikAnimal talk 04:40, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Jeffrey Allen Sinclair. Because you participated in the deletion discussion or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. GregJackP Boomer! 00:17, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Dear DGG, it seems that you have deleted the page I created Anuradha Bhattacharyya, because there is no mention of a newspaper article. Maybe, being too eager, I created her page too early. Maybe, i can create some other pages of many poets in India.
For the time being, I will be on the lookout for newspaper articles on Anuradha Bhattacharyya. Or there are other poets like Gopichand or Lopa Banerjee who are quite well known to me. Thank you for the discussion. Atul Atul Bhattacharyya ( talk) 07:57, 23 August 2015 (UTC)Atul
Dear DGG ( talk ), thank you for your reply. I will keep these things in mind. When I get some links, I will copy-paste them over here. Then you can decide finally. Atul Atul Bhattacharyya ( talk) 09:39, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi David. I received an email at 17:46 yesterday (about 15 hours prior to this note) informing me that the page I have been working on Draft:All Power Lab had been tagged for speedy deletion under G11.
I would appreciate, at the minimum, being given access to the text of the draft so that I can continue the editing process as I requested in my contestation, in hopes of resubmitting the article after an uninvolved editor helps me to further remove the offending, but unfortunately unspecified, violations of WP policy. Nesdon ( talk) 20:44, 23 August 2015 (UTC)
I have emailed you a copy. DGG ( talk ) 20:14, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. I thought I read the guidelines in reliable sources carefully, but I guess I do not fully understand. I am going to look again and hopefully provide more. Can you give me some examples for Checkmarx that would be considered for notability? Thanks for the help.-- Weirdedsultry ( talk) 23:36, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thank you very much for explaining what I need to do to make my article look more like an encyclopedia. Sorry that my article came across as a press release, as a new user to Wikipedia I was encouraged to cite as much vital information as possible to make the article look credible, all the judges which were listed I would of presumed were very important factors of the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards being that they are some of the most influential persons within Architecture and Design throughout the world and they are an integral part of the history of the awards. I have looked at other awards articles and there are similar lists of actors names and such, could you outline for me what the difference was with the information I submitted? Also looking at the article now, could you also help with any other ways I could clean things up? Kind regards,

Dear DGG,
I haven't found a way to send a normal message, but I do appreciate your note about my Cantonal Banks changes. I will add references to German articles the way you suggested, while expanding the articles will take me a while. If you are watching the articles, you will see the results, If you are not, I would like to notify you about updated versions for your review.
Kind regards, Anna

Dear DGG, Thanks for the reasons you spotted out. I have removed the seemingly promotional lines. The information contained is factual. Please re-check the article for consideration. If there's any more promotional stuff, I'll be glad to clear them as well. Thanks Ntiele ( talk) 09:03, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
Just turned down a speedy and noticed it was you that placed it.
Really surprised - I'm guessing there's more to it than meets the eye. -- Dweller ( talk) 09:18, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
I reviewed Purwin. I'm not sure an AfD would go 'delete' on him, though it might. -- Dweller ( talk) 11:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

You made an edit that messed up a wikilink. I'm not sure if you meant to remove it or what, can you take a look at it? Jerod Lycett ( talk) 06:04, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Just questioning your rejection of a duplicate-speedy. So far as I can see Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute is the same thing as King's College London School of Medicine: the latter article opens by calling itself "Guy's, King's and St Thomas' School of Medical Education" and it mentions how the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals was merged into it in 1998.
List of dental schools in the United Kingdom describes the Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute as the "Result of a merger with King's College London and United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in 1998. Known as GKT School of Medicine until 2005." - GKT School of Medicine redirects to King's College London School of Medicine.
So far as I can tell, "Guy's, King's & St Thomas's Dental Institute" was just the first redlink at List of dental schools in the United Kingdom, and User:AndreeaMi appears to have clicked the first two redlinks and written articles there, with a spam ref to DentalSchoolRequirements.org at the bottom of each. They contested the speedy with an argument of "but Wikipedia said it didn't have an article" rather than explaining how the subject was distinct. -- McGeddon ( talk) 11:14, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
I have a question: are admins allowed to view deleted pages,if so I want to see what the text of "Voluntary Houston" page was,the log is here: [10] (I really just want to see it for laughs). Minedigger ( talk) 23:17, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
Oh and by the way I would like to ask you,have you deleted articles that you thought had funny titles,if you can put them here Minedigger ( talk) 23:20, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
1)Yes, we can see them. 2)it was a promotional page about a perfectly real organization in Houston that supports education and social service volunteer activity in that community. An proper article on them would be appropriate here. DGG ( talk ) 03:21, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
First off, this looks like artspam. Secondly its been translated from Geobrugg without attribution. Can you remind me what we are supposed to do in such cases Thanks. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 08:32, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Is there more context for the speedy deletion tag at Tony Robbins? I'm sure the article needs work, but it could at least be stubbed, and Robbins must meet the general notability criteria a thousand times over. Zagalejo ^^^ 15:41, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
