I nominated your article for deletion because there was no information in your article to indicate that Freddie Kissoon was notable for anything. One of the principal criteria in keeping an article is that its subject is notable in some way. What can you add to this article to demonstrate notability? D e nni talk 01:26, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Lucky, I did some quick edits. If it's ok, please consider removing the dispute. If not, I will research more info. and add tomorrow. Good night. ~ User:Roopster Posted on User_talk:Lucky_6.9#Guyanese_Columnists
Hello Roopster! I'm not sure how to contact you... I've been adding content to the pages on Guyanese writers (I've added Guyanese women writers) and would be happy to build up some of the other pages in that area, eg Guyanese poets, novelists). But I'm not sure how to do this. Can I just send you the info, and you do it? I am Arunadasi, aka Sharon Maas
Much better. Thanks for cleaning that up! In fact, it's quite good now. Very nice read. Getting kind of late for me as well, so off to catch some Z's. Doing a bit of holiday travel tomorrow. :) - Lucky 6.9 08:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Nice work on the Kissoon article! You've provided enough background and enough detail that this article would stand up even against a deletion discussion. You've done your homework on the Ramsaroop article too, though I'm not as convinced of her notability. Is there more about her we should know? Has she won any awards or received any other recognition beyond the approval of her readers? I also took a look at Kaieteur News - could you tell us when it was established, a bit about its owners, if it is associated with any other media in Guyana, how frequently it is published, who its competitors are, and any awards or recognition it has received? Keep up the good work! D e nni talk 00:37, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Roopster! I am also interested in added content on Guyana, as I lived and worked there 1998-2000, and have many happy memories of my time there. I'd like to say "well done" on your work on Forbes Burnham, as it had recently been turned into an extremely POV diatribe - I have experienced just how divisive Burnham and Jagan can be, so I think it's an admirable job you did in getting the article back to a more neutral line (although I'm sure there'll still be those who take offence at anything even approaching criticism!)

I directed you to the wrong page, as the image needed a fair use tag...hopefully I have succeeded in putting an appropriate tag on the image this time, but who knows, as all the images I upload are either ones I have taken myself or are from the U.S. Government. Anyway, the upload page is at [1] and the tag I add was this one: {{Fair use in|Article}} with "Article" being replaced with the title of the article name, namely Forbes Burnham. I generally discourage the use of Fair use since it may end up no longer being allowed on Wiki at some time in the future to protect us from any copywrite violations. Anyhow, all should be well now...and for future uses of Fair Useimages, make sure they comply with our policies and you use the appropriate tags from here.-- MONGO 10:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi. It looks like the page was deleted on December 10 by 1ne on the grounds that it was a previously deleted and recreated page. Your best course of action is to take the issue to Wikipedia:Deletion review for a hearing. Since this page only was ever speedy deleted, you may have a chance to be heard there. Alternatively, you can add substantially to the article, if that's possible, and try recreating it. One other route, if this is done, is to take it through Articles for Deletion. While this might, at first glance, seem an unproductive route to take, many pages make it through AfD. The best thing about going this way is that many editors see it, and if the consensus is even close to "keep", it gets kept. Good luck, and let me know how it goes.

Hi. Your article has passed deletion review and has been recreated and moved to Articles for Deletion. It seems to be doing well there and I think it has a very good chance of being kept. Please feel free to weigh in at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Freddie Kissoon. D e nni talk 02:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Forbes Burnham Guyana.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
