Morning, please review! /info/en/?search=Ray_Gilhooley Thanks NeillG ( talk) 12:50, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Hello Creffett,
Today morning I created a page Foloosi which you have marked for deletion. I would like to inform you that I'm not associated with the company in any way nor I've been paid by the company to do it. Being a startup enthusiast, my purpose of creating the page is to acknowledge the companies working in the fintech sector of the UAE and MENA regions. The company for which I've created the page has been listed under top 20 fintech list of Forbes in the UAE. [1]
Without knowing much about the company or doing prior research, you've made an attempt to get the page deleted, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Foloosi. It is clearly an attempt of Wikipedia:Overzealous deletion.
Everybody's opinion matter, like you said it is not a notable company, but being listed under Forbes' list of 20 Fintechs in the Middle East, makes it notable as well as a valuable company for the MENA startup ecosystem. On top of that, imagine creating a page for PayPal or Stripe, and somebody comes imposing his/her opinion and mark it for deletion, it is not ethical at all.
Afterall, it is my 4-hour hard work. After this, I'll be stepping forward to create a page on Careem Pay, the fintech arm of MENA's unicorn Careem, now owned by Uber.
I hereby request you to remove the deletion request and let others contribute to it.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamHaseeb ( talk • contribs)

Hello Creffet,
Please forgive me in advance if I get any of this wrong, I am new to this. I hope I have posted this message in the correct place. Again, apologies if not.
I wrote a page for Joe Kelliher that was originally marked for speedy deletion for unambiguous advertising. I then redrafted it - as it is now - and submitted for review. Or, at least I thought I had, but it has stayed in the ether for quite some time.
I'd be incredibly grateful if you could look at the new draft and provide your thoughts, or send me where I need to go. The page is:
Many thanks for any response in advance.
Best wishes, Drewwotherspoon1076 ( talk) 13:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
Hey Creffett,
why are you not an administrator yet? Please fix this single issue I've ever noticed with your edits one day.
~ ToBeFree ( talk) 23:02, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
There appears to be a conflict of interest in your request to delete the historical data regarding the creation and copyright protected subject Saucer Tennis. It is not a promotional page as it does not call for any action positive or negative from the user. Instead it is the historical benchmarks in the history of the Disc Sport, Saucer Tennis. The conflict of interest is a refusal to add a legitimate historical fact to the Flying Disc Sports Article page and the action to remove the material entirely from the wiki site. It is also not a web hosting violation as it offers specific historical data regarding the sport Saucer Tennis. A historical fact that can be verified through the link to the Library of Congress website database that provides the date Saucer Tennis gained copyright authority. The material was added purely for historical benefit of wikipedia users with an interest in the history of disc sport. The user page Saucer Tennis should not have been deleted due to the facts presented. I would request a conflict resolution of this matter. Regards Saucer Tennis --14:03, 12 March 2020 (UTC) Saucer Tennis ( talk)
Notability would include Television, radio and print as well as other data. Your conflict arises through your interest in removal of the Saucer Tennis addition to the Flying Disc sport page then the action against the User Saucer Tennis page. A sport played by disc sport enthusiast that is a part of history of disc sports is the definition of notable. I was under the impression that your claim against the page was it was promotional, or are you now taking another position for the Speedy Deletion reasoning? Also is it your position that you are the determinate Wikipedia authority of what is notable? -- Saucer Tennis ( talk) 14:56, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
You see something of being a REVIEWER is a very good rights/permission, but as REVIEWER, you can I identity a (short description of article) which does not need some of (AFC/AFD). A tag like (Inline citation needed/citation needed/more citation needed) is more advisable, which can even give more chances to changes that implies to make. So putting (AFC) and (moving to draft space) doesn't bothered, but this is a Short Description of a newspaper/news Web, even without the tagging of (Short description of newspaper) in it. So I don't see a reason of moving this to (draft space) and (AFC), it is your decisions on how to handle the article. Much regards. ( F5pillar 20:38, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

@Creffet
Dear Creffet, I was creating a page of Chase Duddy and I saw It was already moved to draft:chaseduddy I saw the content was plagiarized with poor citation and there is undisclosed payment tag. I made a better version of this draft if you could remove that tag so I can upload the draft and submit it for review.

@Creffet none of them, I am just a fan of Xylo band and Chase, Duddy's are very popular and notable people So, I thought I should create a Duddy page. my request is that you should look into the draft that I created for chase and your expert opinion will help me a lot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emily045 ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
My page is a legitimate legendary recording studio. The “music” section with the list of artists who have recorded at the studio are correct. If you would have looked at the reference of the Discogs link you would see this to be true. Please advise. Chuckalkazian ( talk) 02:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

Dear Creffett,
How can I recover article on Whale Cloud which was deleted just now? There's no information available on Wikipedia about this company so I tried writing this article from various news resources. I think it was well written but I respect your decision. Kindly allow me to improve it. Thanks. Virtuista ( talk) 21:01, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks, that's helpful information from an admin. Now that I have your feedback I will review the article and hopefully, would be able to improve it as per wikipedia's standards and guidelines. Virtuista ( talk) 22:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
Dear Creffett,
Can I recover the page I wrote on Voxa which was deleted a few days ago? If you could also clear up why the page was deleted and how I can fix it that would be amazing. I wrote this article from resources on the company that I found on the internet and thought I could compile them into a Wikipedia page. This is my first time publishing on Wikipedia and I might have gotten the tone wrong, please help! Thank you so much. Sachin_Zachariah ( talk) 16:41, 26 March 2020 (PST)
I removed your CSD from that page as the page creator looks to be making good faith efforts to improve the article after it was placed. The article was still declined though, but it doesn't look to be promotional to the point of G11 anymore though. Cheers Sulfurboy ( talk) 20:30, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
