First off, kudos on your work on the article for George A. Palmer, which is well done, informative and genuinely interesting.
This edit to the article for Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey added Palmer as a notable. Palmer's connection to Haddon Heights, New Jersey is much stronger, as he was pastor at a local church *AND* broadcast Morning Cheer from his home.

Hello - I'm a new Wikipedia user. I created my first article over the weekend titled " Blue Chair Bay Rum". I had accidentally posted it on my user page, and had it deleted. But there is still a redirect on my user page from that. I just received a message from you about a speedy deletion nomination. Was this for my Blue Chair Bay article, or for the speedy deletion tag that is still showing on my user page from my previous mistake? I'm confused about this. There is a notice on the Blue Chair Bay Rum article itself stating it reads as an advertisement. To me, it doesn't read as biased at all. In fact, I found lots of other info I could've included but didn't for that very reason. Hopefully someone can make some suggestions and not just delete the entire thing, because it is not an advertisement in any way. MakeLifeGood ( talk) 18:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Greetings. I actually don't think we've ever interacted before, so thanks for all you do. Question on this AfD, while I agree if you simply count the !votes, it's 5-3 to keep, if you count the votes based on policy alone, it's 3-0. Since WP:BCAST is simply an essay, and is not a policy/guideline. WP:SNG says "Editors are cautioned that these WikiProject notability guidance pages should be treated as essays and do not establish new notability standards, lacking the weight of broad consensus of the general and subject-specific notability guidelines in various discussions" Can I ask your thoughts? The reason I'm curious is that other recent SNG's (e.g. NFOOTY, NCRIC) have recently started to be re-evaluated and to no longer trump GNG. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 21:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi, it should be noted, One15969 is keeping logs for their CSDs, PRODs, and XfDs. This appears, to me at least, to be a numbers game to them. As in how many deletions they can get. Their contribs are just solid deletion requests and bugging editors when they don't get their way.
The AfD in question (of KWDC-LP), which became about the notability of NMEDIA itself at the end, was a Keep. That "Keep" gave NMEDIA (or BCAST) renewed precedence-setting consensus, more than it already had. NMEDIA has never been used as a "trump" of GNG, but as a recommendation. We have also used BCASTOUTCOMES in conjuction with NMEDIA/BCAST. Both of these are used within N and GNG and in conjuction with.
I will repeat again, neither NMEDIA/BCAST nor BCASTOUTCOMES have ever been used to "trump" GNG. They are used as a recommendation for how N and GNG should be used and have been used for the past 15+ years.
Again, though, I believe One15969's "efforts" are disingenuous and the user is only out to up their delete count. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Good afternoon, I write you because this user has violated Wikipedia's TOS for a second time. Below I share a link to the first copyright warning. /info/en/?search=User_talk:Vgy7ujm#Copyright_violation
I attempted to delete his contribution at /info/en/?search=Comparison_of_video_hosting_services#Site_traffic since the only source of the table is https://www.alexa.com/
Which gives no permission to re-distribute its content in any form. https://www.alexa.com/help/terms
After just 9 hours of my deletion, he reverted the edit.
Please deal with this guy as he seems to not care/understand the legal issues of copyright.

First off, kudos on your work on the article for George A. Palmer, which is well done, informative and genuinely interesting.
This edit to the article for Cinnaminson Township, New Jersey added Palmer as a notable. Palmer's connection to Haddon Heights, New Jersey is much stronger, as he was pastor at a local church *AND* broadcast Morning Cheer from his home.

Hello - I'm a new Wikipedia user. I created my first article over the weekend titled " Blue Chair Bay Rum". I had accidentally posted it on my user page, and had it deleted. But there is still a redirect on my user page from that. I just received a message from you about a speedy deletion nomination. Was this for my Blue Chair Bay article, or for the speedy deletion tag that is still showing on my user page from my previous mistake? I'm confused about this. There is a notice on the Blue Chair Bay Rum article itself stating it reads as an advertisement. To me, it doesn't read as biased at all. In fact, I found lots of other info I could've included but didn't for that very reason. Hopefully someone can make some suggestions and not just delete the entire thing, because it is not an advertisement in any way. MakeLifeGood ( talk) 18:41, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Greetings. I actually don't think we've ever interacted before, so thanks for all you do. Question on this AfD, while I agree if you simply count the !votes, it's 5-3 to keep, if you count the votes based on policy alone, it's 3-0. Since WP:BCAST is simply an essay, and is not a policy/guideline. WP:SNG says "Editors are cautioned that these WikiProject notability guidance pages should be treated as essays and do not establish new notability standards, lacking the weight of broad consensus of the general and subject-specific notability guidelines in various discussions" Can I ask your thoughts? The reason I'm curious is that other recent SNG's (e.g. NFOOTY, NCRIC) have recently started to be re-evaluated and to no longer trump GNG. Thanks. Onel5969 TT me 21:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
Hi, it should be noted, One15969 is keeping logs for their CSDs, PRODs, and XfDs. This appears, to me at least, to be a numbers game to them. As in how many deletions they can get. Their contribs are just solid deletion requests and bugging editors when they don't get their way.
The AfD in question (of KWDC-LP), which became about the notability of NMEDIA itself at the end, was a Keep. That "Keep" gave NMEDIA (or BCAST) renewed precedence-setting consensus, more than it already had. NMEDIA has never been used as a "trump" of GNG, but as a recommendation. We have also used BCASTOUTCOMES in conjuction with NMEDIA/BCAST. Both of these are used within N and GNG and in conjuction with.
I will repeat again, neither NMEDIA/BCAST nor BCASTOUTCOMES have ever been used to "trump" GNG. They are used as a recommendation for how N and GNG should be used and have been used for the past 15+ years.
Again, though, I believe One15969's "efforts" are disingenuous and the user is only out to up their delete count. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:32, 7 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Could you explain the process you applied when closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Magdalen Berns (2nd nomination)? I'm curious, as the closing statement seems to be a bit short. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 23:55, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

For performing a difficult AfD closure in a highly charged environment where emotions have run high. Sorting out the wheat from the chaff will have been hard FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 11:41, 10 June 2021 (UTC) |
Hi, just getting in touch as I have seen you work as an uninvolved admin in AfD's, if I'm talking to the wrong person, apologies. I opened a deletion discussion for this article, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV, another user then assured me that such exists in a book I have no access to and I have no reason to doubt them. Therefore I wish to withdraw the AfD, is that possible? All the best. Boynamedsue ( talk) 04:54, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
On 29 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Paul Fiset, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Paul Fiset's research led to the development of the first successful vaccine against Q fever (bacteria pictured)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Paul Fiset. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Paul Fiset), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Good afternoon, I write you because this user has violated Wikipedia's TOS for a second time. Below I share a link to the first copyright warning. /info/en/?search=User_talk:Vgy7ujm#Copyright_violation
I attempted to delete his contribution at /info/en/?search=Comparison_of_video_hosting_services#Site_traffic since the only source of the table is https://www.alexa.com/
Which gives no permission to re-distribute its content in any form. https://www.alexa.com/help/terms
After just 9 hours of my deletion, he reverted the edit.
Please deal with this guy as he seems to not care/understand the legal issues of copyright.
Best, Francisco Ferioli Marco ( talk) 16:50, 26 August 2021 (UTC).
