You deleted Courtney Deverux/sandbox, which held a redirect from the move of the sandbox page to article space, as "obviously created in error". It is not an "error" for a sandbox page to have a name unrelated to the final name of the article drafted therein, nor to move a sandboxed draft to mainspace directly. Indeed that is one recommended path to article creation. Please restore this page. — DES (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, If you are willing to talk to me about a deleted page, I would be very grateful. I have recently been working on a page called Pueblo County High School. I'm doing a school project and we are trying to add more information to our school page. I was making all of my edits in my sand box, and you deleted them. The information was not going to be put on the actual Pueblo County High School page, I was just simply using the sandbox for my project. My project is due soon and I was just wondering if you would be able to send me the information that I had on my page. I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm not really sure how any of this works, but if you could possibly do that, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking your time to make sure that my edits were being monitored and that I wasn't vandalizing a page. If you could please send me the information as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it. If you need me to redo the links to the deleted page, just let me know. The link for the sandbox page is /info/en/?search=User:Mar.eri.gar/sandbox The link that says you deleted my page is [ [2]] Sincerely, Mar.eri.gar ( talk) 02:56, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

I saw that you deleted this article per G5, but looking at this SPI (no evidence was supplied with it) - I don't see anything that connects the accused sock puppet account (the creator of the article you deleted) with the sock master.

Yo RHaworth, need some help here if you can- there's someting a bit odd and can't quite put my finger on it, at User:Mar.eri.gar/sandbox. It starts with the fact that yesterday I tagged it G11. You deleted it and then moved it- I didn't notice that I'm afraid. Anyway, now today, it came on the recent changes again, I thought it was a recreation, so- you can see this comng- I tagged it again. Now, since it has your approval, I'm happy t withdraw the tag, but there's a couple of funny things I've noticed. One is that User:Nbromero/sandbox has an article on exactly the same school as the User:Mar.eri.gar/sandbox. Secondly, the latter sandbox is actually over six years old, and was actually created by Azcolvin429, whom I am not pinging becasue probably has nothing to do with it. But I can't quite see how the account Mar.eri.gar, which was 20 April 2017 at 01:55, could have usurped or hijacked (if that's the right word) someone else's sandbox? I only noticed this because of course without meaning to I notified them when I tagged it again today, because they originally created the page. See what I mean? — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 16:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Interestingly - if not that relevant to the Pueblo thing - I think WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES has been diluted - see This RfC on secondary school notability from January: the conclusion was that 'Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.' Which, I think, is about time too! Take care, — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 09:37, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi RHaworth, would you be willing to restore this sandbox or allow me to restore it under my main account, Tokyogirl79? The page was nominated for speedy deletion as promotional and while there were one or two sentences that could be seen as promotional, it looked to have been something that could have been easily fixed. It's also a student's sandbox article and they were a bit confused as to how their prospective article was so quickly detected and deleted, as it was in their sandbox. They're very willing to make any needed changes and they're also aware that not all schools are notable, but I thought that it would be a good idea for them to work on it (partially in the hopes that it'll be one of those NSCHOOL exceptions). — Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 04:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
FYI, you deleted File:Avatar Land concept.jpg a tad fast. It was out of use for about 4 minutes when you deleted it at 22:37. It's fine, since it got replaced by a free picture, but last I knew, there was supposed to be a seven day wait. — Elisfkc ( talk) 00:51, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Could you please reconsider the deletion you made here. This is a new user. I would suggest that this is not unambiguous advertising that cannot be made into an article without a major re-rewrite as per policy. This is just someone describing something they like.

I see you have made a lot of changes. Can you explain your rationale? There was an invitation for you to discuss this with the user who had created a new draft. — Victuallers ( talk) 23:26, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks - although I'm confused by a more general point. Where are new users meant to test their skills? If I wanted to create an improved version of a wiki article or to try a restructure then I would use a sandbox or maybe a draft. I wouldn't expect to find that my new version would be deleted or moved - unless I was breaking real world laws or I was creating collateral damage to the real wiki (like new categories can). This would be a fork if it was moved into real space, but surely it is not a fork until that happens? If a new user wants to test their skills then they might choose their mum or they might try writing a bio of Winston Churchill. Can they do this using a sandbox? We can both see why this will not be useful to Wikimedia but it could be very useful to their training. Are they allowed to do this? — Victuallers ( talk) 08:36, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
Any thoughts? — Victuallers ( talk) 11:47, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
I've continued the debate here rather than on the new users page as they are finding this debate confusing (I get emails). I'm pretty sure that you don't want to debate the meaning of a "A lot of changes" - I don't. This is a new user. If they have deleted good stuff then its a mistake -you are asking for an explanation. That's fine, but you must understand the difficulty as they are learning and they talking to someone who deletes/hides all their work. They have little explanation of much larger changes to ~100% of their contributions. They are a bit confused at present. Their intention is not to damage the article. They were quite happy to edit a draft or a sandbox but that has not been allowed. I see that you have offered help, please consider how you could assist further. — Victuallers ( talk) 12:01, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I am contacting you regarding a Wikipedia article I have made for Habiba Da Silva and Habiba da silva (but not for Habiba da Silva which I would have rated the preferred title) a blogger from Birmingham, UK in September 2016 and was deleted a month later. I understand you have deleted the article due to (A7: Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject).

I would like to recreate the page for the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation. The reason given for deleting the original page was by criteria A7 - No indication of importance. I counter that this is in fact an important conference to the field of OS design. It should be noted that in academic computer science, conferences are more important than journals for sharing work. Not having a page for a conference of this tier is a disservice to our readers who might be interested in knowing more about this particular topic. I'm prepared to rewrite the article to properly assert its importance and I'd like to access the original article text. Thanks, Blueclaw ( talk) 15:58, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

I've tried creating a page for Swansea College of Art on two occasions. Each time it gets blocked by wikipedia reviewers. The current page which redirects searchers to Swansea University is incorrect. Swansea College of Art is not and never has been part of Swansea University. Swansea College of Art was established in the city in 1853 and has gone through a number of name changes such as the municipal school of arts and crafts etc. Currently it is part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I'm more than happy to add additional references to strengthen the entry but so far both my attempts have been subsequently blocked by reviewers. As a new contributor to wikipedia it takes time to get up to speed with the coding issues to ensure everything is properly referenced etc. Rather than blocking me and thereby maintaining the incorrect redirection to Swansea University could someone give me some clear guidance and an opportunity to improve the entry.

The page I created for WISeKey had been tagged for speedy deletion by Shritwod this morning, and I immediately responded noting that the content had nothing in common with what may have been submitted in the past other than dealing with the same entity. The company is publicly listed on a major stock exchange, plays a visible role in Internet security, and is actively acquiring other known companies in the Internet sector around the world. I think this establishes its notability - and the content was both factual and verifiable. I am willing to improve the content of the submission - but you deleted the page before that admin responded. What can I do to open dialogue on the notability of this entity for Wikipedia?

You speedy deleted my userpage 2018 April Fools Day, using G3 as reasoning. G3 only applies to Mainspace articles, not userpages.

Hello Mr Haworth - looks like my page entry didn't come up to scratch. I'm on a learning curve - apologies for being a nuisance. I've been deleted due to Sect A11. The results of the YDNA tests for the McHales are scientific (so not supposition). We all took the Family Tree DNA BigY test and the results show us as a branch of the O'Byrnes of Wicklow. I put in the hyperlink and wanted to show the relevant bit as an image but didn't have the know-how to do so. This - the result - is quite a surprise for all of us and also for local Mayo historians as it goes against previous guesses based on name similarities. I have been doing quite a lot of historical research to cross-ref with the YDNA findings but didn't want to be too laborious. Your advice would be very welcome.

Hi RHaworth, would you mind moving this article back to the title it has had for over a decade? It is not a list of notable operas, it is a list of individual opera composers and their major works (as stated in the lede), so
List of notable operas is inaccurate. I am unable to undo your move because you have move-protected the article. (BTW, you also removed the AfD notice from the article without closing the AfD. Could you please either close the AfD or replace the AfD tag?) Thank you,

Hello RHaworth - A few years ago, you indefinitely blocked User:Arider88 for disruptive editing on the page Mandi Perkins. This was a likely COI editor who was upset with some of the material sourced and included on the page. A year or so later, a new editor, User:Mpmusicwiki, started editing in the same pattern as Arider88 (removing sourced material, promotional additions), and claimed overtly to be Perkins herself. I didn't pursue any admin action because there wasn't a lot of action on the page (she's not actually famous and the only editors to the page, essentially, have been the COI editors and myself). Today, Mpmusicwiki started talking on the talk page (hilariously, accusing me of being a COI editor; see my response). Soon after, Arider88 removed your block notice on her own page. I'm wondering whether this is sufficient evidence to maintain a connection between these two editors, demonstrating sockpuppetry. — Chubbles ( talk) 04:33, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

It is not an "error" for a sandbox page to have a name unrelated to the final name of the article drafted therein, nor to move a sandboxed draft to mainspace directly. Indeed that is one recommended path to article creation. Please restore this page. — DES (talk) 16:39, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello, If you are willing to talk to me about a deleted page, I would be very grateful. I have recently been working on a page called Pueblo County High School. I'm doing a school project and we are trying to add more information to our school page. I was making all of my edits in my sand box, and you deleted them. The information was not going to be put on the actual Pueblo County High School page, I was just simply using the sandbox for my project. My project is due soon and I was just wondering if you would be able to send me the information that I had on my page. I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm not really sure how any of this works, but if you could possibly do that, I would really appreciate it. Thank you for taking your time to make sure that my edits were being monitored and that I wasn't vandalizing a page. If you could please send me the information as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it. If you need me to redo the links to the deleted page, just let me know.

Yo RHaworth, need some help here if you can- there's someting a bit odd and can't quite put my finger on it, at User:Mar.eri.gar/sandbox. It starts with the fact that yesterday I tagged it G11. You deleted it and then moved it- I didn't notice that I'm afraid. Anyway, now today, it came on the recent changes again, I thought it was a recreation, so- you can see this comng- I tagged it again. Now, since it has your approval, I'm happy t withdraw the tag, but there's a couple of funny things I've noticed. One is that User:Nbromero/sandbox has an article on exactly the same school as the User:Mar.eri.gar/sandbox. Secondly, the latter sandbox is actually over six years old, and was actually created by Azcolvin429, whom I am not pinging becasue probably has nothing to do with it. But I can't quite see how the account Mar.eri.gar, which was 20 April 2017 at 01:55, could have usurped or hijacked (if that's the right word) someone else's sandbox? I only noticed this because of course without meaning to I notified them when I tagged it again today, because they originally created the page. See what I mean? — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 16:16, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Interestingly - if not that relevant to the Pueblo thing - I think WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES has been diluted - see This RfC on secondary school notability from January: the conclusion was that 'Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist. WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES should be added to the Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions.' Which, I think, is about time too!

Hi RHaworth, would you be willing to restore this sandbox or allow me to restore it under my main account, Tokyogirl79? The page was nominated for speedy deletion as promotional and while there were one or two sentences that could be seen as promotional, it looked to have been something that could have been easily fixed. It's also a student's sandbox article and they were a bit confused as to how their prospective article was so quickly detected and deleted, as it was in their sandbox. They're very willing to make any needed changes and they're also aware that not all schools are notable, but I thought that it would be a good idea for them to work on it (partially in the hopes that it'll be one of those NSCHOOL exceptions). — Shalor (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 04:12, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

I see you have made a lot of changes. Can you explain your rationale? There was an invitation for you to discuss this with the user who had created a new draft. — Victuallers ( talk) 23:26, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks - although I'm confused by a more general point. Where are new users meant to test their skills? If I wanted to create an improved version of a wiki article or to try a restructure then I would use a sandbox or maybe a draft. I wouldn't expect to find that my new version would be deleted or moved - unless I was breaking real world laws or I was creating collateral damage to the real wiki (like new categories can). This would be a fork if it was moved into real space, but surely it is not a fork until that happens? If a new user wants to test their skills then they might choose their mum or they might try writing a bio of Winston Churchill. Can they do this using a sandbox? We can both see why this will not be useful to Wikimedia but it could be very useful to their training. Are they allowed to do this? — Victuallers ( talk) 08:36, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

I've continued the debate here rather than on the new users page as they are finding this debate confusing (I get emails). I'm pretty sure that you don't want to debate the meaning of a "A lot of changes" - I don't. This is a new user. If they have deleted good stuff then its a mistake -you are asking for an explanation. That's fine, but you must understand the difficulty as they are learning and they talking to someone who deletes/hides all their work. They have little explanation of much larger changes to ~100% of their contributions. They are a bit confused at present. Their intention is not to damage the article. They were quite happy to edit a draft or a sandbox but that has not been allowed. I see that you have offered help, please consider how you could assist further. — Victuallers ( talk) 12:01, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

I would like to recreate the page for the USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation. The reason given for deleting the original page was by criteria A7 - No indication of importance. I counter that this is in fact an important conference to the field of OS design. It should be noted that in academic computer science, conferences are more important than journals for sharing work. Not having a page for a conference of this tier is a disservice to our readers who might be interested in knowing more about this particular topic.

I've tried creating a page for Swansea College of Art on two occasions. Each time it gets blocked by wikipedia reviewers. The current page which redirects searchers to Swansea University is incorrect. Swansea College of Art is not and never has been part of Swansea University. Swansea College of Art was established in the city in 1853 and has gone through a number of name changes such as the municipal school of arts and crafts etc. Currently it is part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I'm more than happy to add additional references to strengthen the entry but so far both my attempts have been subsequently blocked by reviewers. As a new contributor to wikipedia it takes time to get up to speed with the coding issues to ensure everything is properly referenced etc. Rather than blocking me and thereby maintaining the incorrect redirection to Swansea University could someone give me some clear guidance and an opportunity to improve the entry.

The page I created for WISeKey had been tagged for speedy deletion by Shritwod this morning, and I immediately responded noting that the content had nothing in common with what may have been submitted in the past other than dealing with the same entity. The company is publicly listed on a major stock exchange, plays a visible role in Internet security, and is actively acquiring other known companies in the Internet sector around the world. I think this establishes its notability - and the content was both factual and verifiable.

Hello Mr Haworth - looks like my page entry didn't come up to scratch. I'm on a learning curve - apologies for being a nuisance. I've been deleted due to Sect A11. The results of the YDNA tests for the McHales are scientific (so not supposition). We all took the Family Tree DNA BigY test and the results show us as a branch of the O'Byrnes of Wicklow. I put in the hyperlink and wanted to show the relevant bit as an image but didn't have the know-how to do so. This - the result - is quite a surprise for all of us and also for local Mayo historians as it goes against previous guesses based on name similarities. I have been doing quite a lot of historical research to cross-ref with the YDNA findings but didn't want to be too laborious. Your advice would be very welcome.

Hi RHaworth, would you mind moving this article back to the title it has had for over a decade? It is not a list of notable operas, it is a list of individual opera composers and their major works (as stated in the lede), so

Hello RHaworth - A few years ago, you indefinitely blocked User:Arider88 for disruptive editing on the page Mandi Perkins. This was a likely COI editor who was upset with some of the material sourced and included on the page. A year or so later, a new editor, User:Mpmusicwiki, started editing in the same pattern as Arider88 (removing sourced material, promotional additions), and claimed overtly to be Perkins herself. I didn't pursue any admin action because there wasn't a lot of action on the page (she's not actually famous and the only editors to the page, essentially, have been the COI editors and myself). Today, Mpmusicwiki started talking on the talk page (hilariously, accusing me of being a COI editor; see my response). Soon after, Arider88 removed your block notice on her own page. I'm wondering whether this is sufficient evidence to maintain a connection between these two editors, demonstrating sockpuppetry. — Chubbles ( talk) 04:33, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
