Hey, for your information, there is ongoing discussion of CSD reform at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Fundamentals. -- Ryan Delaney talk 01:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
I replied at Wikipedia:Help desk#My talk page before seeing your post. PrimeHunter ( talk) 08:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
FYI, I am drafting an RfC at the above page. If you would like to add your own statement, or indicate your support for an existing statement, please feel free to do so now. I would also strongly recommend that we avoid replying to other statements, since we would be likely to repeat what was already said on the CSD talk page, and that we should try to keep the background/proposal/objections section as concise as possible; we should not begin to pack these sections, but we should leave that for our own statements. Once we have some more contributions here, I'll see about posting it to the relevant noticeboards. Thanks! -- Ryan Delaney talk 21:00, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
This article page is new and is under xonsideration for editing. The topic internship in india is relevant in the context of current times. I have initiated program informations from organisations such as EduCARE India and InfoSys as they are renowned and repected in their relevant fields of volunteer sector and information technology. But nevertheless, being new, there are issues of editing, style, references, notability etc that I need to get more informed with. It is suggested / contested that for the time being the page not be deleted but may be kept under some watch. The pages will be edited through the coming few days.

Hello again Kingpin13. When i was here yesterday (And again today) i noticed that you have a fairly large amount of messages on your talk page. I also saw that you archived them trough moving your entire talk page as an archive page. Might it be an idea to set up automated archiving instead? There are several bots that can automatically split and archive messages on your talk page, which saves a lot of time, while it also gives a talk page a cleaner look:).

Hi, you recently requested speedy deletion of the article Equinox (The band MK). The author of this article has placed a hangon tag on the page, and therefore I have started a deletion discussion on the article's talk page, if you would like to contribute. Thanks, Seivad ( talk) 14:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I thought you might be interested in Wikipedia:Threats of violence and Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm. As someone who has interacted with law enforcement extensively on numerous threats including several against elected officials, this is something I take very seriously. I hope you do too. Most of the times I've run across them, they're from anonymous IPs which is very easy for law enforcement to deal with. In the case of registered users, a quick RFCU gets the IP and the law enforcement take it from there. In every occasion (including suicide threats), law enforcement was very grateful for the information, even if I had to spend 20 minutes explaining what a diff was and how they worked, etc.
I am aware that there are some here on WP that feel that editors should not react at all. I could not disagree with them more strongly. Toddst1 ( talk) 17:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I was more concerned for the COI of the author... but went through and did some major cleanup of the advert and added multiple reliable sources that show the fellow actually does have coverage that meets the WP:GNG. I then removed the prod, moved it to the proper namespace, and advised him on his talk page of concerns with COI. It still needs work, but as long as the author does not try to puff himself up, it is probably okay to let it stay and be further improved. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:26, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your attention to the article on Mohammad Bannout I started today. Perhaps it should be said for your knowledge that Bannout is an up and coming bodybuilder, who has taken part in a number of bodybuilding contests. He is also cousin to the famous bodybuilder Samir Bannout. That article could be useful for people interested in sports. I don't see any reason why ignorance should be treated as an argument when deciding to mark a new article as qualifying for speedy deletion. Waiting for you reply. Please, remove the tag. Thank you!

Apologies for accidentally overwriting your submission at WP:DYK.

Compliments on both article's! Even though new page patrol is my daily job i never saw a page specific to a type of roof before - much less did i assume that someone could ever fit a page regarding that topic within the all the guidelines i can actively think of.

Hi 7, I saw you tagged Kouma Blaise for speedy deletion trough A7. I reworked the article and added a (Very weak, i admit) reference to it. Feel free to retag it if you feel it should be removed, as his notability is questionable at best. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 08:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
We recently put up a page on Janos Boros, the Hungarian politician from Kolozsvar and ex-vice mayor. But this has been notified by some users on Wiki for deletion. If they had asked us to improve the text, we would have happily obliged. But they are attacking the very credentials of the personality saying that his profile does not comply with neither WP:POLITICIAN nor WP:GNG. They also propose deletion as they see this page as a means to aggrandise Janos Boros. We searched the wiki for other vice mayors from Romania, to see if ex-vice mayors of Roamnian city councils and ex-vice presidents of political parties deserve and have their pages. Many of them, both ex and present have wiki pages dedicated to them. If these Romanian vice mayors can have their pages on wiki, while they some of them have not even served terms in office half of what Mr. Boros did, why not a page for Janos Boros? We are in the process of re-writing the page, as we agree with the critics that the page was poorly written. But outright request for deletion will be a biased one and unfair to our effort. If you find time, your help would be most welcome and appreciated.
Warm Regards,

Hi Hellinabucket;
I saw that the userboxes on your userpage didn't line up nicely (And in fact, on Firefox and Chrome they were placed over the text), so i decided to alter the page a little bit. I added a wikitable around them, and now they stand in a straith line. Feel free to revert if you don't like it :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 14:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ohm,
I saw you posted comments on several AFD's regarding removal of pages par WP:N, so i thought i should explain them (Or at least my perception). Starting at the basics we have WP:GNG and the various specialisations of general guideline. In order to stay on wikipedia an article must make a claim why the subject is important; Any article that does not make an importance claim is most times Speedily deleted under criteria A7. So what is exactly notability? Simply said, a claim to importance. For example the butcher on the corner is not notable, as much as i am not notable, and as much as random amateur clubs are not notable.
Your comment seems to be based that the notability guideline would not be a reason to remove a page. Technically taken it is, as par the WP:FAILN subheader. Note that WP:V and WP:N are closely interconnected. If people state "Par WP:N" it most times means that the article did either not claim notability, or that a good faith search did not manage to establish it. When citing N people indicate that they followed all the steps in WP:FAILN and established that an article did not meet the GNG and should therefor be removed.
Arguing "Par WP:V" is most times used in case an article actually makes a good claim, bur proving this claim seems to be impossible. Stating that "Person XYZ won notable award Y and Z so many times" is an indication of notability. Unless it is clearly a hoax claim such as "He invented the dinosaurs in 1771", an article cannot be removed trough CSD since it claims notability. When man argues WP:V on these cases they mean that an article might be notable, but that this notability cannot be proved and should therefor be removed. (See "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth")
I hope this writeup proved usefull, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 13:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erical, I am non wikipedia specialist.I created my wiki id yesterday and wrote on the only topic I am familiar with.You have left a proposed deletion on my page for being incomplete. Now, I have completed by page. Can you please review the same and comment on it? Thanks in Advance -- Intelz bala ( talk) 04:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello Excirial,
I wanted to offer an observation and a humble suggestion, if I could. Let's just look at this example, since it's timely and convenient: Taking a look at Pongo cricket and the ensuing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pongo cricket as an example, a mere 6 minutes elapsed between the creation of the page and your first posting a deletion notice in accordance with WP:PROD. I would suggest to you that such behavior could easily be seen as disruptive. Why is there apparently such a rush to judgment?
So, my suggestion is that during your "patrol" rather then going straight to deletion why not use the {{ notability}} tag and come back to the page in, say, a month? it's not as though the world will stop if (most of) these pages continue to exist for a short period of time.

Hi Excirial. Please could you kindly take a brief glance at Parkwood Hills and let me know if I can safely remove the construction template yet, without risk of deletion? I recently re-created the page, which was previously deleted in 2007, apparently on the grounds of notability (I've informed the person who deleted it, and the Ottawa project page, but no reply).
I think I've dealt with the notability (see the page's summary section). Apart from that, my main concern has been to see that the page contains sufficient content which is specific to Parkwood Hills - not an easy task, considering I'm doing this as a favour for a Canadian friend, and know nothing about the place as I'm based in the UK. Thankfully, user:Battyoldbat has added a para or two which I could mine for google-search cross-references. The result is that most sections are now specific to the Parkwood Hills neighbourhood. The only remaining material that has been lifted straight from other Wiki pages are (1) the climate table (from Nepean, Ontario) and (2) a couple of the external links at the bottom of the page. I put together the navbox (bottom of page) myself - and I almost certainly put the neighbourhoods in all the wrong positions - but the actual list of surrounding neighbourhoods comes from the River Ward page.
It needs proper photos, so I've put an appeal for those on its discussion page. I think the above should indicate how the page stands at present. If I've forgotten something obvious - please kindly let me know.
I have friends in Ottawa who want to add to the page in the summer when they will have time to do it - but between now and then I have run out of internet research options, so leaving the construction tag up from now on would be pushing it a bit. Cheers.-- Storye book ( talk) 17:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

He is also cousin to the famous bodybuilder Samir Bannout. That article could be useful for people interested in sports. I don't see any reason why ignorance should be treated as an argument when deciding to mark a new article as qualifying for speedy deletion. Waiting for you reply. Please, remove the tag. Thank you!

The above is my latest baby. It includes my first ever shot at doing navboxes. Please could you kindly have a glance at the page and its navboxes, and let me know any general errors? With each new page I try to use what I learned from the mistakes of the last - but the tidiers-up always find something . . . (Please inform me of any reply on my talkpage).

Apologies for accidentally overwriting your submission at WP:DYK. Since it was an excellent article i was trying to nominate it as well, but due to a rather slow internet connection i didn't notice you were doing the same - hence i kept overwriting your suggestion because i thought i accidently posted it twice. Should be fixed now though :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 12:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
you moved my page on the right place. Thank you for that. I'm lost with english procedures (Soory, i'm french). Actually i entend to translate my own new page from WP.fr about the french mathematician François Viète.I hope it 'll be better than the present one. I think there are a lot of specialists on WP.en about these sujects but how can i speak with them ? Have you got a tea-room ? Jean de Parthenay ( talk) 14:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello Excirial, just a quick note to say I've removed the db template you put on Busan Foreign School, I've edited it a little, and believe that it should now be fine, if you disagree please do feel free to talk to me about it, great work in the new page patrol, all the best Spitfire Tally-ho! 13:14, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
I am sorry that my article "Blark" seemed like jibberish. But as it is an actual used word in chatrooms and specifically topics on Gamespot.com, I think it deserves inclusion on Wikipedia. Due to an "attack" by peers of mine, the page was defaced. I would like to repost, thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigboss123 ( talk • contribs) 13:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, regarding this article there is vandalism being made by user Dab, he insist on rev. to the "Iranid" even thogh he can not site any sources, another user fonkmonk claims there are sources in deutch. I had a debate with him and we reached cons. on rev. the page you edited on as well. But user dab keeps rev it, I could not find any source in American english you can read our debate I suggested moving the "Iranid" to the deutch lang. section since claimed non shown sources are in that lang, however after citing pleanty and pleanty of sources in American and English page still keeps being deleted. Please contact admin to remove the "Iranid" to Deutch German section and keep the American terms where it belongs, in the American section where American sources can be added not claimed deutch ones where cit temp cant hence not even be cited best reagrds
Your prod got taken off by the author. I would AfD it but I don't have any time right now just thought you would want to know. Whispe ring 08:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you Exciliar for all of your help! Definetely took your suggestions and page looks much better. But I'm still unsure about what 'moving' a page entails. I would now like to take the page to the 'live' stage. I don't think I'm there now with the article. The article is still displaying my username before the title of the article. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you. =)

Hi Little Mountain 5; I see you created the above article with the comment move hangon tag to top of page. Was the recreation an accident/edit conflict or do you disagree with the CSD template itself? Thanks in advance, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 22:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Compliments on both article's! Even though new page patrol is my daily job i never saw a page specific to a type of roof before - much less did i assume that someone could ever fit a page regarding that topic within the all the guidelines i can actively think of. And above all, i enjoyed both article's texts and image's. Many thanks for creating somthing so unusual, yet so interesting. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 23:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi 7, I saw you tagged Kouma Blaise for speedy deletion trough A7. I reworked the article and added a (Very weak, i admit) reference to it. Feel free to retag it if you feel it should be removed, as his notability is questionable at best. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 08:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
We recently put up a page on Janos Boros, the Hungarian politician from Kolozsvar and ex-vice mayor. But this has been notified by some users on Wiki for deletion. If they had asked us to improve the text, we would have happily obliged. But they are attacking the very credentials of the personality saying that his profile does not comply with neither WP:POLITICIAN nor WP:GNG. They also propose deletion as they see this page as a means to aggrandise Janos Boros. We searched the wiki for other vice mayors from Romania, to see if ex-vice mayors of Roamnian city councils and ex-vice presidents of political parties deserve and have their pages. Many of them, both ex and present have wiki pages dedicated to them. If these Romanian vice mayors can have their pages on wiki, while they some of them have not even served terms in office half of what Mr. Boros did, why not a page for Janos Boros? We are in the process of re-writing the page, as we agree with the critics that the page was poorly written. But outright request for deletion will be a biased one and unfair to our effort. If you find time, your help would be most welcome and appreciated.
Warm Regards,

Hi Hellinabucket;
I saw that the userboxes on your userpage didn't line up nicely (And in fact, on Firefox and Chrome they were placed over the text), so i decided to alter the page a little bit. I added a wikitable around them, and now they stand in a straith line. Feel free to revert if you don't like it :) Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 14:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Excirial, in case you were wondering why I deleted this under G10, the original author expanded it to an attack page after you tagged it. Ϣere SpielChequers 15:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ohm,
I saw you posted comments on several AFD's regarding removal of pages par WP:N, so i thought i should explain them (Or at least my perception). Starting at the basics we have WP:GNG and the various specialisations of general guideline. In order to stay on wikipedia an article must make a claim why the subject is important; Any article that does not make an importance claim is most times Speedily deleted under criteria A7. So what is exactly notability? Simply said, a claim to importance. For example the butcher on the corner is not notable, as much as i am not notable, and as much as random amateur clubs are not notable.
Your comment seems to be based that the notability guideline would not be a reason to remove a page. Technically taken it is, as par the WP:FAILN subheader. Note that WP:V and WP:N are closely interconnected. If people state "Par WP:N" it most times means that the article did either not claim notability, or that a good faith search did not manage to establish it. When citing N people indicate that they followed all the steps in WP:FAILN and established that an article did not meet the GNG and should therefor be removed.
Arguing "Par WP:V" is most times used in case an article actually makes a good claim, bur proving this claim seems to be impossible. Stating that "Person XYZ won notable award Y and Z so many times" is an indication of notability. Unless it is clearly a hoax claim such as "He invented the dinosaurs in 1771", an article cannot be removed trough CSD since it claims notability. When man argues WP:V on these cases they mean that an article might be notable, but that this notability cannot be proved and should therefor be removed. (See "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth")
I hope this writeup proved usefull, Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 13:28, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Erical, I am non wikipedia specialist.I created my wiki id yesterday and wrote on the only topic I am familiar with.You have left a proposed deletion on my page for being incomplete. Now, I have completed by page. Can you please review the same and comment on it? Thanks in Advance -- Intelz bala ( talk) 04:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello Excirial,
I wanted to offer an observation and a humble suggestion, if I could. Let's just look at this example, since it's timely and convenient: Taking a look at Pongo cricket and the ensuing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pongo cricket as an example, a mere 6 minutes elapsed between the creation of the page and your first posting a deletion notice in accordance with WP:PROD. I would suggest to you that such behavior could easily be seen as disruptive. Why is there apparently such a rush to judgment?
So, my suggestion is that during your "patrol" rather then going straight to deletion why not use the {{ notability}} tag and come back to the page in, say, a month? it's not as though the world will stop if (most of) these pages continue to exist for a short period of time.

Hi Excirial. Please could you kindly take a brief glance at Parkwood Hills and let me know if I can safely remove the construction template yet, without risk of deletion? I recently re-created the page, which was previously deleted in 2007, apparently on the grounds of notability (I've informed the person who deleted it, and the Ottawa project page, but no reply).
I think I've dealt with the notability (see the page's summary section). Apart from that, my main concern has been to see that the page contains sufficient content which is specific to Parkwood Hills - not an easy task, considering I'm doing this as a favour for a Canadian friend, and know nothing about the place as I'm based in the UK. Thankfully, user:Battyoldbat has added a para or two which I could mine for google-search cross-references. The result is that most sections are now specific to the Parkwood Hills neighbourhood. The only remaining material that has been lifted straight from other Wiki pages are (1) the climate table (from Nepean, Ontario) and (2) a couple of the external links at the bottom of the page. I put together the navbox (bottom of page) myself - and I almost certainly put the neighbourhoods in all the wrong positions - but the actual list of surrounding neighbourhoods comes from the River Ward page.
It needs proper photos, so I've put an appeal for those on its discussion page. I think the above should indicate how the page stands at present. If I've forgotten something obvious - please kindly let me know.
I have friends in Ottawa who want to add to the page in the summer when they will have time to do it - but between now and then I have run out of internet research options, so leaving the construction tag up from now on would be pushing it a bit. Cheers.-- Storye book ( talk) 17:36, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
