Heya, I found the essay quite useful. Under the 'big mistakes' section you properly describe the practice of not re-tagging declined speedies. Is there any chance that's found in a policy somewhere? I'm only asking because I was recently quizzed by someone and couldn't find a source. Nja 247 19:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Good morning,
We carefully red the page regarding why our page was deleted first.
If we may, one page has been created in Norwegian on Siradel company and would like to create one in English too. We translated the Norvegian document into English without trying to "market" Siradel. It is approximately the exact translation.
We were informed that you deleted the page.
Could you let us know what the "right" process is please?

There is an article for Transportation in Iran, but there are also 8 articles about the specific roads. They is only a single sentence long each one, with where they go, no citations and sometimes poor spelling. I'm wondering if these articles should be deleted.

Hi SoWhy - I know you're a CSD buff, and wondered if you could help me with my understanding of the rules. I'm looking at Ariella kashi. It was deleted earlier, but the author's contesting the speedy by asserting that the article's subject is notable. By my reading of the notability guideline, the assertion is wrong: there's no coverage of this person in third-party sources. So does the assertion of notability rule out CSD, or does the criterion need to take into account whether that assertion is correct?
There's also a COI thing going on here, but let's leave it out for now :) Thanks. Gonzonoir ( talk) 20:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I kept coming across the name
Nicki Minaj, so I did a "what links here" and found about 30 articles, so I thought I'd create the page. Then I saw the deletion log, and that you and Orangemike had both deleted it within an hour of each other about 10 days ago. And I thought: "What's going on here? It looks like I'm walking into a minefield."
Would you mind giving me a brief summary of what IS going on, and advise me whether I should go ahead with the creation, or stay well away? With thanks in advance,

A couple of things as you declined the speedy delet.
1) According to the user page of the creator of the page the name of the album is actually "Srtaight Up" not "Straight up", the name you moved the page to.
2) The artist in question does not have a a wikipage.
3) According to the userpage, th album has not been released yet as the article says, rather it will be relased in July.

Hello SoWhy, I am trying to create a page explaining a community service for scientists called Sci-Mate, but you have taken it down. I have read your guidelines on this sort of thing, and yes I am a member of this community, but I do not stand to benefit personally from any extra traffic resulting from Wikipedia exposure. We run this site as a free community service for those who qualify for membership, and are not commercially orientated (we all work full-time in research positions). The site is also of general interest, particularly to the R&D community, which can be demonstrated by its separate coverage by Australia's major national paper The Australian, ABC's Future Tense program, and will shortly feature in the Journal of Science Communications. We might not be as notable as eBay and Microsoft, but I you might reconsider your decision to remove us from Wikipedia. I'd of course be very happy to change any aspect if you think it is too spam or ad-like. Regards, Christopher Dyer. XofD ( talk) 17:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I've restored the page, re-edited it- trying to adhere to the guidelines. If still not ok, please continue to be patient with me, as I genuinely don't understand some things that seem obvious to you. For example, I don't get why the sentence you quote is not ok in the context of the perceived conflict of interest. (that is just an example that you don't need to explain- unless there is a problem with what I changed it to) Cheers, XofD —Preceding undated comment added 19:51, 30 April 2009 (UTC).
Another editor has tagged the article Rival Brand for proposed deletion, with the concern "No notability asserted-speedy declined but ""rival brand" clothing columbus" produces no relevant google news stories." However, the article already has a reference from a magazine. -- Eastmain ( talk) 18:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. The new article was speedy deleted before I could add the 'hangon' template. GSD G4 applies to content that:
is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted.
I never saw the old deleted article, but read the delete discussions. The source for the sparse information is new and not self-aggrandizing primary sources like before. The guy is a minor celebrity, is in the news every few months, and neutral accounts of him are hard to find online. We can fix that. Thanks Tafinucane ( talk) 20:01, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
For the purpose of the page protection at Occupation of the Baltic states during World War II would it be possible to revert to my version from this morning which followed the article split? I split Occupation of the Baltic states into Occupation of the Baltic states during World War II and Baltic states and the Soviet Union. Occupation of the Baltic states during World War IIas it currently stands has been reverted to include everything from the original article, rather than reflecting that the original article was split in two. Not a major problem, but I think it will just be easier to understand what I started for anyone reviewing the situation. Thanks! Hiberniantears ( talk) 18:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I have had a page deleted. The text was copied off of the Old Leagonians Cricket Club website which I run. We are a small cricket club based in Epsom, Surrey, UK. We have been playing since 2002 and we have played many teams over the years. We believe in fairplay and having fun. That's what our website try's to promote. I'm currently revamping our website (see http://web.me.com/oldleagonianscc/Site/Welcome.html) and that's why I wanted to include Wikipedia. Thanks, Mike a.k.a.

You deleted my page (

I assure you this is no hoax. So far we have 2024 members, who get together (sometimes in real sometimes on the internet)

Thankyou for your time.
Hi So Why, I appreciate the comments on the speedy deletion of Pisasu. I find neologisms and dictionary definitions difficult, obviously some are straight out vandalism and are obviously CFSD, while in some, like this, good faith has to be assumed. However I think a 1 sentance article giving a translation of a Hindi word has wp:snow chance of finding a permanent place in English wikipedia. Do you see any possibility of a SD category for neologisms and word translations that are not supported by verifiable 3rd party evidence. Cheers Porturology ( talk) 10:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
You deleted my page again (A7) The page is designed to inform people about the club.
How is this any different to, say, the Ku Klux Klan. It is a group of people, the wikipedia page for it is not taken down because it is informing people about the group, as is my page.

When you declined a speedy deletion on Sounds from the Ground you stated that suggested "Google News hits" indicate possible notability of the band.

Good day sir,
Since our talk at my page, I wanted to ask first before taking action. I have been on vandal/weasal patrol for the last several hours when I came upon this, thrice tagged, article Castle Rock Foundation. Now, to be honest, I don't see much of a point in this article besides blatant promotion of donators and the group itself. There appears to be no meaningful context to establish just why this group is so important. Before I threw on a deletion tag or something, I thought I would ask for your input. I thank you for your time. Kale Weathers ( talk) 15:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate both answers. I probably will follow up on it, in all honesty. However, my job only gives me just enough time to make quick edits and such. Perhaps when I have free time, I shall.
One last thing; please don't be offended by my formal tone. I was raised to treat people with respect until they prove unworthy of it. I use Sir and Ma'am as a way of establishing a calm, respectful dialogue, that's all. Now then, off to fight the weasals... Kale Weathers ( talk) 17:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

It seems as though I keep coming back here. Well, on to the main.
I have been on a Random Article Rampage of epic proportion today and came across something of interest. Take a look at User:P176's page. Notice his "wiki" bio? Now, let's go over to Tom Bushell's article. Interesting enough for you? Well it get's better. Dan Marsh decided to get in on the action as well. Now, it seems to me that P176 has decided to make his pals famous. They all work together and, in addition to being weasel-filled, the articles are not really notable. And this time, I checked before tagging them. So, rather than wait the 7 days, do you feel that these pages are worth keeping? I mean, I can always delouse them....
In any case, I am off to see the Wizard... Kale Weathers ( talk) 13:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

A couple of things as you declined the speedy delet.
1) According to the user page of the creator of the page the name of the album is actually "Srtaight Up" not "Straight up", the name you moved the page to.
2) The artist in question does not have a a wikipage.
3) According to the userpage, th album has not been released yet as the article says, rather it will be relased in July.

Hello SoWhy, I am trying to create a page explaining a community service for scientists called Sci-Mate, but you have taken it down. I have read your guidelines on this sort of thing, and yes I am a member of this community, but I do not stand to benefit personally from any extra traffic resulting from Wikipedia exposure. We run this site as a free community service for those who qualify for membership, and are not commercially orientated (we all work full-time in research positions). The site is also of general interest, particularly to the R&D community, which can be demonstrated by its separate coverage by Australia's major national paper The Australian, ABC's Future Tense program, and will shortly feature in the Journal of Science Communications. We might not be as notable as eBay and Microsoft, but I you might reconsider your decision to remove us from Wikipedia. I'd of course be very happy to change any aspect if you think it is too spam or ad-like. Regards, Christopher Dyer. XofD ( talk) 17:36, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I've restored the page, re-edited it- trying to adhere to the guidelines. If still not ok, please continue to be patient with me, as I genuinely don't understand some things that seem obvious to you. For example, I don't get why the sentence you quote is not ok in the context of the perceived conflict of interest. (that is just an example that you don't need to explain- unless there is a problem with what I changed it to) Cheers, XofD —Preceding undated comment added 19:51, 30 April 2009 (UTC).
Another editor has tagged the article Rival Brand for proposed deletion, with the concern "No notability asserted-speedy declined but ""rival brand" clothing columbus" produces no relevant google news stories." However, the article already has a reference from a magazine. -- Eastmain ( talk) 18:54, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. The new article was speedy deleted before I could add the 'hangon' template. GSD G4 applies to content that:
is substantially identical to the deleted version and that any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted.
I never saw the old deleted article, but read the delete discussions. The source for the sparse information is new and not self-aggrandizing primary sources like before. The guy is a minor celebrity, is in the news every few months, and neutral accounts of him are hard to find online. We can fix that. Thanks Tafinucane ( talk) 20:01, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
For the purpose of the page protection at Occupation of the Baltic states during World War II would it be possible to revert to my version from this morning which followed the article split? I split Occupation of the Baltic states into Occupation of the Baltic states during World War II and Baltic states and the Soviet Union. Occupation of the Baltic states during World War IIas it currently stands has been reverted to include everything from the original article, rather than reflecting that the original article was split in two. Not a major problem, but I think it will just be easier to understand what I started for anyone reviewing the situation. Thanks! Hiberniantears ( talk) 18:31, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you explain why you refused the deletion of List of multi-racial national football teams by continent of origin of players.

To clarify, the entire article is not a copyvio, even the descriptions. The descriptions are directly translated section of the Arthashastra. In addition, it is not copy and pasted from the page, and upon further examination you will find that it does not contain the same text as found on the website. - down load ׀ sign! 20:54, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I have had a page deleted. The text was copied off of the Old Leagonians Cricket Club website which I run. We are a small cricket club based in Epsom, Surrey, UK. We have been playing since 2002 and we have played many teams over the years. We believe in fairplay and having fun. That's what our website try's to promote. I'm currently revamping our website (see http://web.me.com/oldleagonianscc/Site/Welcome.html) and that's why I wanted to include Wikipedia. Thanks, Mike a.k.a.

Hi,
I have seen that my article "Advanced Market Research Group" has been deleted on 02 may 2009.
The reason given is the text is from www.amrgindia.com/index.php
The above website belongs to me and i am the owner.
So i would request you to be kind enough to reinstate my article.
With regards,

Hi,
You deleted my page (
The Super Awesome Club of Super Awesome People) saying it was a blatant hoax.
I assure you this is no hoax. So far we have 2024 members, who get together (sometimes in real sometimes on the internet)
to discuss the list. I am in the process of getting a website made for the club so please could you kindly undelete my page?
Thankyou for your time.
Hi So Why, I appreciate the comments on the speedy deletion of Pisasu. I find neologisms and dictionary definitions difficult, obviously some are straight out vandalism and are obviously CFSD, while in some, like this, good faith has to be assumed. However I think a 1 sentance article giving a translation of a Hindi word has wp:snow chance of finding a permanent place in English wikipedia. Do you see any possibility of a SD category for neologisms and word translations that are not supported by verifiable 3rd party evidence. Cheers Porturology ( talk) 10:11, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
You deleted my page again (A7) The page is designed to inform people about the club.
How is this any different to, say, the Ku Klux Klan. It is a group of people, the wikipedia page for it is not taken down because it is informing people about the group, as is my page.
Thankyou for your time. —Preceding

When you declined a speedy deletion on Sounds from the Ground you stated that suggested "Google News hits" indicate possible notability of the band. I'd like to ask you about this as when I searched for "Sounds from the Ground" I got zero results. Any idea what we are doing differently? I've also tried "Nick Woolfson" for zero hits and "Elliot Jones" for one hit. Duffbeerforme ( talk) 11:57, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Good day sir,
Since our talk at my page, I wanted to ask first before taking action. I have been on vandal/weasal patrol for the last several hours when I came upon this, thrice tagged, article Castle Rock Foundation. Now, to be honest, I don't see much of a point in this article besides blatant promotion of donators and the group itself. There appears to be no meaningful context to establish just why this group is so important. Before I threw on a deletion tag or something, I thought I would ask for your input. I thank you for your time. Kale Weathers ( talk) 15:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate both answers. I probably will follow up on it, in all honesty. However, my job only gives me just enough time to make quick edits and such. Perhaps when I have free time, I shall.
One last thing; please don't be offended by my formal tone. I was raised to treat people with respect until they prove unworthy of it. I use Sir and Ma'am as a way of establishing a calm, respectful dialogue, that's all. Now then, off to fight the weasals... Kale Weathers ( talk) 17:09, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing my contributions and edit summary usage. I will admit that I am slack about edit summaries, but please consider that the overwhelming majority of my edits are to fairly low-traffic subject areas where my editing record is known by any others who happen to patrol those articles. I will try to do better, however, and I assure you that I would not fail to provide an adequate reason if performing admin duties. Everyking ( talk) 15:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey SoWhy. It's been about three months since my RfA, and since you gave feedback then, I was wondering if you'd be willing to tell me how you think I'm doing in my editing. As you know, I've been around NPP since then and sometimes overlapping with your patrolling, so I'd very much appreciate your feedback if you have time. Thanks either way, Flying Toaster 19:22, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
Wie Gehts?
It seems as though I keep coming back here. Well, on to the main.
I have been on a Random Article Rampage of epic proportion today and came across something of interest. Take a look at User:P176's page. Notice his "wiki" bio? Now, let's go over to Tom Bushell's article. Interesting enough for you? Well it get's better. Dan Marsh decided to get in on the action as well. Now, it seems to me that P176 has decided to make his pals famous. They all work together and, in addition to being weasel-filled, the articles are not really notable. And this time, I checked before tagging them. So, rather than wait the 7 days, do you feel that these pages are worth keeping? I mean, I can always delouse them....
In any case, I am off to see the Wizard... Kale Weathers ( talk) 13:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
