Hello Northamerica1000, could you please tell me why have you deleted the article about Soul Button?
After I created the article over twenty days ago, it was reviewed and approved by Ser Amantio di Nicolao, who made over 3,090,500 contributions to Wikipedia and who created over 35,000 articles, which makes him the user with the highest number of contributions on Wikipedia.
Only a few days later the article was nominated for deletion by Ceethekreator.
I explained him why I think that Soul Button deserves to have a page on Wikipedia, because he is not just a DJ, but also an entrepreneur who runs a few record labels with many different artists.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Soul_Button
No one else participated in the discussion after that and since a week has passed, the discussion was relisted by RL0919.
Again a week has passed without anyone else saying anything against the article so Sandstein relisted it too.
One more week has passed without anyone else telling anything bad about the article and since the deletion discussions shouldn't be relisted for more than two times, I hoped that now the article will be live and that I will be able to continue contributing to Wikipedia.
But then I saw that you deleted the article without any message or explanation and without a consensus.
Could you please tell me the reason? Could you please take the article back online?
Thank you!

Hello Northamerica1000,
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Hello, Northamerica1000. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " House of Knowledge International School".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 03:53, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Northamerica1000, I am having issues with one area at Portal:Traditional African religions. I have already created the Selected articles archive page as well as the corresponding page layout. However, when I try to give a footer=More articles... instruction on the main page in order to link to the archive page, It does not link. Do you know how to fix this? Once I know how to fix this I should be able to do the same for the other relevant sections. Although the Selected biography section is showing Archive/Nominations - linking to the corresponding archive page, I had to manually do this on each selected bio. Obviously I need to change that once I figure out how to do it properly. If I'm not mistaken, I think the change should take place on the main page itself. However I am having problems with it. Please help! Thanks. Tamsier ( talk) 09:15, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps best we try to have a conversation without that brown administrator jumping in and insulting everyone and saying the same thing over and over. Can't move forward when we have someone unwilling to hear others out and going out of their way to be combative.

- Since Northamerica1000 closed it as soft delete, just asking on their talk page probably would have been enough. If you want to work on it a little, I'd suggest getting it moved to your userspace.

The Wyoming MfD close interpreted WP:POG as defining "broad" to mean "attracting maintainers". For example, Portal:Earth had only 29 edits in ten years; therefore the Earth is by definition too narrow a topic to merit coverage.
I am also taking a semi-wikibreak, which will probably turn into retirement. I've enjoyed ten productive years here but the limitless time and energy going into destroying our work deters me from contributing further. I still follow conversations elsewhere and can at least promise moral support. Perhaps it is time to consider copying endangered pages, with appropriate attribution, to a place where others have no deletion rights. They would still be visible to external search engines and there is no Wikipedia search presence to lose. If all else fails, April's events inspire hope that the community has the courage to deal with personal attacks. All the best, Certes ( talk) 00:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
The continued enthusiasm amongst portalistas for retaining unmaintained portals is extraordinary to behold. It's also a significant factor in why the culling process has been so heated.
I have been astonished to see Wyoming being chosen as the venue for a big stand. It has the smallest population of any US state, barely more than County Cork, so it is unsurprising that it has attracted so little attention.
The story of en.wp portals could have been so very different if efforts had been concentrated on a small set of core portals, rather than spread out across this still-huge set of barely-maintained and barely-read. It's still not too late for portalistas to refocus. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:18, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps best we try to have a conversation without that brown administrator jumping in and insulting everyone and saying the same thing over and over. Can't move forward when we have someone unwilling to hear others out and going out of their way to be combative. IRC chat might be a good way to see what proposals the community can move forward on. ---- Moxy 🍁 21:47, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Internet Killed Television. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. NinaUTA ( talk) 17:40, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

- Since Northamerica1000 closed it as soft delete, just asking on their talk page probably would have been enough. If you want to work on it a little, I'd suggest getting it moved to your userspace. If you need any help, we have a guide to writing articles for new users and you can ask questions at the AfC help desk, as well as the Teahouse, Help desk or the Live Help IRC.

The Wyoming MfD close interpreted WP:POG as defining "broad" to mean "attracting maintainers". For example, Portal:Earth had only 29 edits in ten years; therefore the Earth is by definition too narrow a topic to merit coverage.
I am also taking a semi-wikibreak, which will probably turn into retirement. I've enjoyed ten productive years here but the limitless time and energy going into destroying our work deters me from contributing further. I still follow conversations elsewhere and can at least promise moral support. Perhaps it is time to consider copying endangered pages, with appropriate attribution, to a place where others have no deletion rights. They would still be visible to external search engines and there is no Wikipedia search presence to lose. If all else fails, April's events inspire hope that the community has the courage to deal with personal attacks. All the best, Certes ( talk) 00:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
The continued enthusiasm amongst portalistas for retaining unmaintained portals is extraordinary to behold. It's also a significant factor in why the culling process has been so heated.
I have been astonished to see Wyoming being chosen as the venue for a big stand. It has the smallest population of any US state, barely more than County Cork, so it is unsurprising that it has attracted so little attention.
The story of en.wp portals could have been so very different if efforts had been concentrated on a small set of core portals, rather than spread out across this still-huge set of barely-maintained and barely-read. It's still not too late for portalistas to refocus. -- BrownHairedGirl (talk) • ( contribs) 11:18, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
What is the point of that "Portals with triaged subpages from August 2019" category on Portal:Climbing? Is something wrong with the sub-pages? -- Hecato ( talk) 11:10, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
