Thanks for noticing the possible copyright problem with Gaurav Tower. It turned out to be a little more complicated, I explained the issues at the Talk page, thought you might be interested.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 14:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
hi Pika
id like to request an explination Of the refusal of my article "Ronnie Pollock (DySFUNCTIONAL). Notability Is clearly established. As a Scottish recording artist having 30 thousand verifiable fans and having gained so much industry recognition and support in 2012. This makes Ronnie Pollock a highly notable Scottish person and recording artist given there are around only 5 million people in Scotland. DYSfunctional clearly has industry support in Scotland and further a field in the Uk from the likes of MTV and the BBC, as well as Scottish tastemaker, radio presenter and television personality JIm Gellatly.
I bring your attention to the acceptance to the article on sweet Electra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_Electra which has been accepted and I have edited. This was submitted and accepted with subjective / promotional text throughout and very few references confirming these subjective claims. The references in my article are superior in proving notability of the subject both locally and globally. The information is backed by relevant sources and references. Constancy across all articles is a must.
IF adequate reasoning is not shown I will have to resubmit the article and hope it is reviewed by someone with a greater understanding of the situation / circumstances.
Please also be aware that having been broadcast by a major broadcast organisation does make someone notable. Sufficient citation was provided to prove this in my article. I notice your also a very new user to wikkipedia.
Regards

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself
Hi Pika -
Confused about your rejection of the Burning music page. I am a burning spear scholar so lots of quotes would be from me and I've used them. Also, I have contacted the subjects and footnoted each clarification or piece of information they gave me. In additon, I cited wikipedia pages for simple information such as the discography and a few dates. I added some more citations. Hope it's ok now. It is a work in progress.

Hi FunnyPika, I'd like to upload the official logo of the company, this one: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/2759/wyscoutlogo.jpg and I'd like to put it on the article; I think I'm an autoconfirmed user, but the "upload button" to upload the image is gray, do you have any advice or maybe can you upload the logo for me? Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djsnake86 ( talk • contribs) 09:04, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello there, I'm contacting editors who have recently contributed to this project page to let you know about an ongoing discussion to do with the naming and categorisation of GAA counties, teams and players.

AdamLiwinski ( talk) 12:30, 8 February 2013 (UTC) Hi! Wanted to ask what should be changed in the article about TEDxWarsaw to make it appear again, instead of being redirected to TEDx section in article about TED. Couldn't really see a big difference from nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEDxAmsterdam (and I don't suggest the latter to be redirected as well). We were just about to post names of all our speakers (with links to their talks on YT) and add a couple of links to media coverage when page got redirected. There really aren't many reliable sources apart from our website - a few blog posts and articles on other websites, vast majority of them in Polish. Cheers, Adam
Hi, FunnyPica. After the first rejection I added a preface to my article. However, you rejected it (second time rejection). I would like you to ask to reconsider this, because three theoretical hypotheses (loop-quantumtheory, gravity-entropy and M-theory - five stringtheories-) also are hyper-theoretical hypotheses and not proved experimentally! I have at least three experimental evidences to correlate to my hypothesis, the Double Torus Universe. Moreover, it is time to recalculate the principles of "Wikipedia Not": More chances have to be made possible to integrate knowledge from outside the institutional walls. Please, send me an email to discuss that, if necessary (<retracted>). But I hope you reactivate the rejected article into an unconventional Wikipedia-article. The public has to know!!

Hi FunnyPika, if I can ask that you check out the Bad Tune Men article for Creation again, I would be ever so grateful, thanks again. ( Ladytwentytwo ( talk) 16:54, 17 February 2013 (UTC))
Hello FunnyPika, please could you look at the Bad Tune Men article again please, it was hidden by mistake, please have a look, thank you very much.( Ladytwentytwo ( talk) 23:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC))
I want to thank you for your good work screening these articles, but there are two recent ones which I need to bring to your attention.
As reviewing administrator, I have declined your deletion of YSI -- from the information presented, of being the first to develop numerous important products, this is certainly at the very least a claim to importance. Awards are listed also--this too is a claim to importance. If the material can be sourced from 3rd party sources, it will also show actual notability, It should certainly be able to.
Traffic Group Ltd may or may not be notable. But again, awards are stated for their work, and a list of notable international clients are given. These particular awards may not be enough for notability, but that's a question for AfD , not speedy. (the article is highly promotional,but since its basically factual, it does not qualify for speedy on that ground either;) I'm sending it to PROD--if the prod is removed, I will use AfD
I remind you of the general principle, that in order to satisfy WP:CSD#A7, it is not necessary to be notable, or even probably notable ; it is only necessary to have some indication of plausible importance. This is a very low bar, and deliberately so. Even an undocumented article is not A7, for someone might find documentation. The criteria in WP:CSD are applied narrowly, as explained there and at WP:Deletion policy; there are very extensive discussions & explanations of this in the archives at WT:CSD
The purpose of speedy deletion is to clear out the hopeless junk, of which there is a great deal--I myself have deleted over 15,000 since becoming an admin. In order to keep from drifting towards excessive deletion under the increasing flood of hopeless submitted articles, I make it a point to reread WP:CSD and WP:Deletion policy every once in a while.
There is another factor more important than A7. Much of the content of YSI at the time you saw it was copied from the "history" page on their website. This is a much more critical problem than lack of notability, and the article really should have been tagged as G12, copyvio. I would have deleted it as such except that I know it's a famous company and within my field of interest, so I am rewriting it. (I rarely have time for that, but I try to do it once a week) Were I not prepared to do it, I would have deleted it without hesitation. DGG ( talk ) 00:05, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey I have no idea how this works. I did an article on Michael Talei, you declined it, then I updated it with more content and sources. Can you please take a look and let me know what else I need to do? I'm not even sure if what I writing here is the right way to reach you. I want to write a lot more so please help.

The page Sidekick Kato looks like it may be a valid CSD, but I prefer not to delete a page unless the creator has been notified. I understand that sometimes automated tools fail to do the notification for some reason. Not sure if that was the case, but could you make the notification? SPhilbrick (Talk) 17:42, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello FunnyPika - I declined your request for Speedy Deletion of this page. While I agree that the person referenced may not be notable, it at least asserts notability, in a sense, and should be brought to WP:AFD for community consensus. There is a whole list of models at the Page 3 girl entry, not sure how Kelly Hall is any different, and I'm not familiar with the topic. Regards, Keeper | 76 02:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I see you put up Blur (film) for speedy deletion as a hoax. That was an article written by an IP address written in talk space - it was going to be deleted because the article didn't exist. I figured it would make a good article, so I decided to salvage it by putting it into article space. I'm not one who likes deleting perfectly good articles. I didn't realize it was a hoax; I should have done more research on it. Just wanted you to know about that, because I'm not someone who makes hoaxes for the sake of vandalism. From what I've seen of your contributions, you do a great job here. Keep up the good work. Lugia2453 ( talk) 17:19, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello FunnyPika. I am just letting you know that I deleted Telluride Mountain School, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Ged UK 11:51, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
