In the Shadow of the Moons

Hi Cirt. Are you going to add some information to In the Shadow of the Moons so that it is distinct from Nan Sook Hong? No rush. Thanks. Borock (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes. I will be adding some information. I will be adding lots of sourced information from WP:RS and WP:V secondary sources. Thank you for saying, "No rush", I appreciate that. Especially in light of some family health issues. :( -- Cirt (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry to hear that. I hope that everyone will be well. Borock (talk) 21:20, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Delhi Belgian Club

Hello Cirt. I was not aware that Delhi Belgian Club was nominated for deletion and I feel that I can improve the article to make its notability more clear. The club is part of the history of Belgian immigrants in South-Central Ontario and is visited many times per year by tours[1] from Belgium. There are only five [2] Belgian clubs in English speaking provinces of Canada and this one is known as "the largest Belgian club in North America" [3]. Over 60,000[4] Flemish families settled in the area which was the primary settlement location of Flemish in the world as of 1970 (The Belgians in Ontario: a history, p.249). Could you please give me a chance to improve the article by un-deleting it or restoring the latest version to my user space? Thanks, Mmn100 (talk) 17:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I will make a userfied version available. -- Cirt (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant for deletion

The article Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daryl Wine Bar and Restaurant until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 17:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. -- Cirt (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

List

Hi! I saw you were involved with a previous nomination for deletion of List of suicides in fiction, and felt you should be informed of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of suicides in fiction (3rd nomination). Thanks!--Yaksar (let's chat) 17:34, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the notice. -- Cirt (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

On a totally unrelated note, I feel like we got off on the wrong foot. Now that everything seems to have calmed down, I'd like to apologize for any behavior you may have objected to, and I hope we can work together productively in the future.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I feel the same way. Let us both try to move forwards. ;) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 20:19, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Great. May I ask, out of curiosity, for the rationale of your comment at the AfD? It seems to be a well written support for the creation of an article on Suicide in Fiction, but I'm not sure if it applies to the list. You don't have to answer that if you don't want, I just was interested in how you felt and wanted your opinion out of the muddle of that page.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:32, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

It is a great rationale for the existence of both pages. In fact, they would both then academically complement the other. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 20:33, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, ok. I don't necessarily agree with that logic, but thank you.--Yaksar (let's chat) 20:37, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

deletion of Kite Flying Society page

Hello Cirt -

I noticed you deleted our Kite Flying Society (band) page. I am wondering what we should go about doing to satisfy wikipedia admins as to the validity of our page. We have been featured on the CBS program "How I Met Your Mother"; we were on national top 10 album lists in 2006 and 2010; we have extensive press from a variety of media (in our home city of San Diego and elsewhere). I see any number of bands on wikipedia (including some from San Diego) who are not even active but are allowed to keep their page. We, KFS, have experienced far greater success, exposure and attention than these bands and yet our page was deleted. Did we not document our sources well enough? What would you suggest? We are still actively making music and are more than a simple fly-by-night garage band. Since our page's deletion, we have been featured on two more critics' Top Albums of 2010 award, which shows relevance and lasting power. We're currently recording our third album as well.

Thank you for your help and advice, Dustin Illingworth / Kite Flying Society dustin.illignworth@gmail.com

User:Missiondolores

Hello. I just now noticed that you blocked Missiondolores (talk · contribs) in September 2010.[5] Considering the incredible work this user has performed, not only releasing their text for use on Mission Dolores mural (since rewritten), but also donating three rare images,[6][7][8] I am honestly at a complete loss as to understanding why they were blocked. Could you look into this for me? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 04:53, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Today's New Yorker Article

The Apostate: Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology by Lawrence Wright February 14, 2011 I assume you already saw this already but just in case you missed it. I myself have not had time to read it all but the parts I did read seem very useful. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 20:05, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. There are parts that are quite informative, indeed. And others that are a bit creepy. -- Cirt (talk) 21:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Just finished reading it, I have to disagree its disturbing. CoS, is really being pushed to the tipping point. A well respected NRM scholar (you can guess who, we talked about him recently) mentioned at AAR that the shift from "Cult labeling," and "brainwashing" to the more incendiary abuse (Miscavige alleged abuse, Mcpherson) has been a important rhetorical shift. He also commented that since The St. Peterburg Times report and the project Chanology protests are pushing leadership to its most precarious state since LRH passed. I am interested to see what reaction the Church gives... if any. The Resident Anthropologist (talk) 04:11, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, that will be interesting, especially in light of the prior history of Operation Snow White. -- Cirt (talk) 14:40, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Serbian–Albanian conflict

This looks like a slam dunk delete and I almost punched it yesterday but something smells about that AFD and I'm not quite sure what it is. The only thing that stands out is that many of the "delete" !votes were "follow the leader metoos".

I don't think it could have been closed any other way though. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

• If it helps, almost all of the "per noms" were young accounts (although not necessarily created in the last fortnight) whose talk pages were full of behaviour warnings and other evidence of poor editing judgement. Some, but not all, were Serbian/Albanian POV warriors. However, White Writer and Gaius Claudius Nero (also "per noms") appear to have a long history of constructive, quality edits in this subject matter. So clearly "per nom" was an opinion capable of being held by experienced Wikipedians. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:10, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • • I guess if you disregarded the "metoos" from the POV warriors a "no consensus" close is possible but the admin who did that would be taking his lumps at DRV. (ie people screaming "SUPERVOTE SUPERVOTE"). --Ron Ritzman (talk) 14:37, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Good points, all. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 01:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Cirt

Apparently your close of the Brian David Mitchell afd is being interpreted as a rationale to never merge any portion of the two articles, bypassing any examination of the pertinent guidelines (obviously in my opinion, of course!) In any case, could you chime in and help us thread through the apparently complicated procedural issues involved? The current discussion on this matter is taking place here. If this would be possible, we will be sincerely appreciative. Thanks!--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 00:31, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

I will defer to community consensus there. I would encourage you to try WP:RFC at the article talk page. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 05:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Helena von Schantz

I wish to appeal your decision to delete Helena von Schantz. Essentially there was no discussion and the criteria for deletion appears to have been as a politician not as a liberal feminist writer on gender and the law and education. I don't think that was fair and not helpful to trying to provide some space for Swedish gender politics here. I would be happy to discuss this further, but currently she is 'notable' for having taken the leader of the women's caucus of the Liberal Party to task over her position on morality and the law. Michael Goodyear (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I am sorry, but discussion was open for a good deal of time at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Helena von Schantz. I would be most willing to make a userfied copy available in your userspace as a subpage for you to work on as a proposed draft version. Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 17:50, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the offer - I accept. Maybe I am not understanding the process - yes the discussion was open - I said my bit - there was no response by Friday - on Saturday 2 people said not notable - I returned on Monday, and the article was gone. I hardly call that discussion. As I said above the original notice of intended deletion was based on that of a politician, which is not fair. Now if I undersatand your offer above, I can continue to work on the article and if I think there is substantially more information, I can re-create it? (so far I have been successful in all justifications for new pages) Thanks. Michael Goodyear (talk) 18:20, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Bulbous Cell Media Group - deleted page

Dear Cirt, I am contacting you regarding this post: 06:24, 9 February 2011 Cirt (talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Bulbous Cell Media Group" ‎ (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bulbous Cell Media Group) I had actually added 2 valuable sources under the references section this morning. I'd appreciate if you could please kindly let me know why the page has been deleted and if the references were not sufficient? I have actually found more articles about Bulbous Cell on the internet today that I could also add. Please note that I am not trying to promote this company - I only did research on media agencies here in Tokyo, and was surprised that this company (where a friend of mine used to work for) did not appear on Wikipedia.

On 28 January, you deleted Jean-Patrick Constantini per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jean-Patrick Constantini.

(BTW I will admit I was disappointed with your closing rationale at the pertinent afd--not at all in anyway whatsoever with what I imagine was the rationale itself but rather with your explanation of the same, which seems to remain inscrutable either to me or to my disputant on the talkpage, since I interpret it as your not choosing to weigh in on the proposed merger while he interprets it as your having done so........!)--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 15:25, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Spongecell

Hi Cirt,

I'm writing you to be aware of why Spongecell was deleted from Wikipedia. I recently updated the company info and added a few links to some articles that Spongecell appeared in. It seems that it was deleted shortly after that. I'm hoping you could shed a little light on the situation. Spongecell has always been about honesty and I would like to continue that. The company is very reputable, is not spam and only has the best of intentions. So anything I can do to understand better, make any changes to get the page back up would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

(talk page stalker) It was deleted per a consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yulia Putintseva. You would have to take your disagreement with its deletion to WP:DRV CTJF83 20:36, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

No. The instructions at DRV say: "Deletion Review is to be used where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question. This should be attempted first – courteously invite the admin to take a second look." So Vinz57 was right to take it here first and regrettably we now have a DRV when one might not have been needed (for Cirt: here). --Mkativerata (talk) 12:43, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Nonzero Records

Just trying to understand how you resolved to delete the article given that there was only one delete but there was also one keep.

That would certainly assist as I have located multiple verifiable references for the label, which will easily satisfy the notability requirements - something that could have been achieved without the need to delete the article. You still haven't answered my question on how a debate could be closed with only two responses - surely it could have been kept open in order to get a better consensus of views. Dan arndt (talk) 01:15, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Richard Smith (silent film director) Article

Cirt,

Article: Richard Smith (silent film director)

You are the first administrator on en.wikipedia.org to be appreciated for something I did which was so small on an article you started. The article name got me confused for a while and it wasn't until I finished and move onto another article, that I realised "silent film director" isn't like todays movies. Anything that I can help with for example feedback or tidy up an article that you don't have much time for, you can ask me on my talkpage. Just leave a short message and the article link. You can find me doing the WikiProject Military History or WikiProject Biography mainly but I do have others that I help clean up, assess or try and put on the talkpage things that would improve the article for someone who maybe interested in that article.

slander aloud?

Hi, There are a few people who I follow in the circles of leadership development, one of which is Arthur Carmazzi. I do understand that your editors find him distasteful and do not want him on Wikipedia, however, as I searched for his recent contributions, I saw the Wikipedia link was still up on Google. And when I went to the page it states how Mr Carmazzi is a "notorious spammer". I am not to judge whether he is or not, I am sure you have sophisticated technics to identify spammers, however the claim is the Mr. Carmazzi is doing this himself (would seem unlikely from an internationally know figure) using "sock IP address" apparently including my IP and my comments. So if they are wrong about me, they may be wrong about others too. In any case, I personally feel that it is unseemly, and certainly not in good faith, to have a page ranked #3 in Google that calls him a spammer. After all, we believe what we read in Wikipedia.

I have informed his office and I am sure they will be contacting someone. I just wanted to inform someone and your welcome comments was so pleasant, I thought you may be a neutral party that could observe the situation. I made 2 comments on that page, one was deleted and the other was ignored. 180.249.132.107 (talk) 12:18, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

That page was deleted already, after a deletion discussion here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arthur Carmazzi. -- Cirt (talk) 12:24, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Bacon Challenge 2011 coming to a close

Dear ever-so-valiant Bacon Challenge 2011 participant:

Almost a year ago, the Bacon Challenge 2011 kicked off for the third year in a row with the annual mission of expanding and bettering Wikipedia's coverage of bacon. We are almost at the end of this year's Bacon Challenge, which ends on March 1st. I am pleased to say that, during this time period, Bacon Challenge participants have done a great job. Ten new pages have been created. Two articles have been granted the status of being good articles. Over one hundred reliable sources have been placed into articles, and over 7,500 words have been added. Six articles have been featured on Wikipedia's main page under the "Did you know..." section. These are all excellent results.

The Bacon WikiCup has also been exciting to watch. Contributors have been racking up more and more points as the deadline approaches. As I post this message, Worm That Turned is in the lead, with Cirt in second, and Acather96 in third. Cirt currently has created the most new pages, while Worm That Turned has done the most work in expanding articles and achieving DYKs. Acather96 has done the most work with image uploads. Remember, while the Bacon Challenge is ending in just a few days, it's not too late to make any last-minute contributions to get a few more Bacon WikiCup points. Everyone who contributes at least something will earn a virtual commemorative medal, so if you haven't contributed anything bacon-related to Wikipedia, now's your chance. Contributions can be submitted up until the end of March 7th, but only for contributions that were done before the beginning of March. The extra week is provided for participants to report any last-minute contributions, and to allow for any contributions that require a timely process (such as a good article or DYK nomination) to go through. At the end of the event, scores for the Bacon WikiCup will be completed and re-checked, and prizes will be distributed. Thanks and good luck! ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:11, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive a week away

WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:31, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

Cirt--I do not find the article entirely promotional. This is a famous foundation, and the article just needs some editing, to remove duplication with other articles and also a little material which follows their website too closely.

Thank You!

		The Featured Sound Main Page Proposal Voter Barnstar
		I was truly humbled by the overwhelming community support for the recent proposal to place featured sounds on the main page. The proposal closed on Tuesday with 57 people in support and only 2 in opposition. It should take a few weeks for everything to get coded and tested, and once that is done the community will be presented with a mock up to assess on aesthetic appeal. Finally, I invite all of you to participate in the featured sounds process itself. Whether you're a performer, an uploader, or just come across a sound file you find top quality, and that meets the featured sound criteria, you can nominate it at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates. Featured sounds is also looking for people to help assess candidates (also at Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates.) Thanks again for such a strong showing of support, and I hope to see you at featured sounds in the future. Sven Manguard Wha? Adam Cuerden (talk) (X! · talk)

Talk:The Truth According to Wikipedia/GA1

Hi Cirt! I note that you are returning the favour of my slow review by being slow to respond! The seven days on this GAR have run out today but I know that you had responded almost immediately to my initial comments so I'm assuming you would like me to hold the GA open rather than closing it. Could you let me know what's going on with this one? If you're busy at the moment one possibility is to close it as Fail, with an option to jump the queue on your next nomination of the article by coming straight to me. Or if you can start improvements now there'd be no problem with holding it open another week. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:24, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

• Hi. It having been another three days with no response I am regretfully going to close this GA review as Fail. However if you decide to re-nominate when you return from your wikibreak I would be more than happy to help you jump the queue and, in essence, resume my original GAR.

Hi Cirt,

You have removed a page titled BugNET from the Wikipedia and you marked it to not be recreated again. As I have used BugNET which is a Issue Tracking software and I know this is a noteable software comparing to other Issue Tracking Softwares mentioned in the wikipedia. I would like to ask you to revert its page back or let me to recreate its page. As Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems is a good source between comparison of this kind of software, I wanted to have this software in this page.

Tarique Mustafa's Page Deletion

Hi Cirt,

I have a few questions about my page being deleted by you. According to you, my page has been deleted because Tarique Mustafa is not a notable person. However, this is what I have on my research about him. Tarique Mustafa is an important Computer Security Engineer that brought the Data Leak Prevention to the new generation. Because of that, he has received the award from Frost & Sullivan about Excellence in Technology Innovation Awards in 2009. Although I don't work for him, I still strongly believe that he is notable enough to meet all the notability standards of Wikipedia. I have edited my page and ready to send to you for rechecking before posting.

Thank you.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario Parga

Hey Cirt--I understand the 2-2 vote (not counting mine) can be seen as "no consensus," but surely you agree that the sourcing for that article leaves a lot to be desired; it's basically nothing but a few websites. One 'keep' voter added references which aren't anywhere near WP:RS, and even PhilBridger stated he couldn't find anything. Moreover, among the lengthy comments of the other 'keep' voter, an SPA if ever there was one, is a remark that betrays a conflict of interest (never mind the basic lack of knowledge of our guidelines): "I have permission from Mario’s management to edit several independent web pages and part of a music website relevant to Mario's music." In my opinion, the complete lack of reliable sources on the internets (see [12], [13], and [14]) should also give cause for concern. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 21:09, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with your judgement to keep this article. If you check who voted on this AfD, you'll find two IPs from Austria, and two newly registered user.

And by the way, if you read the AfD, you'll notice I repeatedly asked for someone to name a reliable source for Raffetseder's notability.

Morpheous

Since you closed the debate, I thought I'd let you know that I went ahead and redirected "Morpheous" to Morpheus as per User:Reyk's suggestion. The alternate spelling appears to be in use, so a redirect seems appropriate. If this photographer becomes notable at a later date, the article can always be recreated as Morpheous (photographer).

Chesdovi and 1RR on Israel, Palestine and the United Nations

Hello Cirt -- I see that in January you blocked Chesdovi (talk · contribs) for >1RR. Perhaps I should go to a noticeboard instead, but: would you consider what appears to me as a >1RR by this editor today on Israel, Palestine and the United Nations? Two edits are clearly reverts (with an intervening one by User:Number 57): [15] and [16], restoring text, as seen in this earlier revision. My effort to bring this issue to the attention of the editor in question was rewarded with yet another edit on the article. If I need to take this to a noticeboard instead, please just say so -- I've not tried this approach before, going to an admin directly first. thank you, Nomoskedasticity (talk) 16:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Structured dialogic design

Dear Cirt, I have taken the initiative to begin an article in Wikipedia about the science of structured dialogic design. This is a relatively young and fast evolving science, but in my opinion very important. The European commission has included it in at least 10 large projects already in the last few years as a means of achieving consensus among diverse groups of people with conflicting interests and points of views. I probably don't understand yet the rules of Wikipedia, this is why I need some help. The article was up for discussion and a number of people objected to its deletion proposing specific arguments. On the contrary those proposing the deletion did not provide any specific argument. For example, the first editor who proposed deletion simply removed ALL references to the actual science calling it "copyrighted" material" and then made the argument that was was left behind was not important enough (and he was right, because he deleted the actual content).

Could you please help and advice how we can go about saving this contribution?

am a strong supporter of Wikipedia. One of the reasons is because the public can find also new concepts which one cannot find it regular encyclopedias. In 10 years from today I am sure this science might even be taught in schools. But for now, Wikipedia is the place for it.

What are our options? I appreciate your time. Futuristas (talk) 07:51, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Dear Cirt, I am still awaiting your response (a) whether you can place back the article in my user space (b) whether you would be available/willing to provide feedback and help whether the revisions would satisfactorily respond to the criticisms that led to its deletion and (c ) to recover the discussions which took place in the articles discussion section and maybe copy it to the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Structured dialogic design

Article deleted

Dear Cirt, I believe you have deleted wrongfully the article Olavo de Carvalho. The person in question is a well-known journalist and politizai commentator In Brazil (as its article in ptwiki shows. Unfortunately, it has been the victim of a smear campaign (both there and here) of a radical leftist user who dislike him politically (the IPs and the "Cedric" account in the deletion discussion, a known sockpuppeteer who has been blocked in ptwiki after Meta confirmed his/her abuse). I would like to appeal this decision, how should I proceed? Regards, RafaAzevedo ^msg 22:05, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Pardon my intrusion. Probably not by reposting; I've added a G4 WP:CSD tag. For what it's worth, I am the one who nominated the article for deletion, and my edit history should make quite plausible what is the truth: which is that I had no idea who Caravalho was until I stumbled on the page and was amazed by all the polemical back and forth (about which RafaAzevedo is quite correct), coupled with complete inattention to the fact that this article (and its Portuguese equivalent) had not managed to find any WP:RS adequate to support an article who seems to fail WP:AUTHOR. I just wanted to weigh in with a reminder that "radical leftists who dislike him" may exist, but that wasn't really the reason this deletion happened. Wareh (talk) 13:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

abramis academic publishing - delete 1st February.

Dear Sirs,

I do not have an issue with our page being deleted if it does not conform to wikipedia content guidelines, however the statement below is pretty derogatory and not true. We do not charge a fee for the majority of work we publish through abramis and we are selective in what we publish. We publish academic journals for the University of Lincoln and the English Dept at the University of Leeds. We also featured in an article in the Times Higher Education magazine (2 December 2010) Feel the Rush, Professor Tim Luckhurst, University of Kent. This may not be sufficiently notable for the purposes of wikipedia, and I have no objection to this.

We are a small company with a business model that utilises on-demand publishing but 'fancy copy-shop' in my view is not a fair comment. We have had some issues with one of our theoretical physics authors but this is not a fair reflection of the catalogue. We have just published two separate physics works with authors from the University of Oxford. Again, the objection is not that you wish to delete our reference, it is the comment that is displayed at the foot of this message.

I use wikipedia every day and have nothing but respect for the work that you do, but it is a very challenging business environment out there and statements like this do us no favours.

Kind regards

Richard Franklin abramis academic

Delete According to their own website they specialize "in the innovative on-demand publishing model" which means they are nothing else than a fancy copy-shop that also may do a bit of promotion on the side.

Deleted article Murdo MacDonald-Bayne 22/4/11

I'm not familiar with wikipedia conventions so please forgive me for copying this from a deleted article talk page here: I use Wikipedia almost daily and am very grateful for it. I have only very rarely attempted to edit or contribute to Wikipedia, finding 'wikis' a little beyond my computer skills. (I regularly use Wordpress without difficulty and have used wikispaces). I am sitting here in London (that's in England you know) and was extremely disappointed to see that an article about MacDonald-Bayne had been deleted. I had come to Wikipedia hoping to learn something more about this (to judge by his writing) extraordinary man. I am sitting with a copy of MacDonald-Bayne's "I am the Life" in front of me (hence my interest), a 159 page small format paper-back first published by L.N. Fowler & Co. Ltd of 1201/3 High Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex (less than two miles from my birthplace in Seven Kings, Ilford, Essex) in September 1948 (when I was two years old!) and running to the Sixth Impression in 1979. I have had the book for years, don't know where I got it but it has a sticker on the back from L.N. Fowler price £2.50. I don't believe that all articles need to be exhaustively 'cited' or 'sourced'. If they were, you might as well buy Encyclopedia Britannica. (I wonder if that has an article about MacDonald-Bayne?) Is this an example of Americo-centric thinking? ('some obscure Scottish spiritualist' (he doesn't appear to have been a spiritualist and was Scots not Scottish) with no 'sources' - so let's bin it) or is it something more sinister? Has Wikipedia now been infiltrated by the fascist American churches (some of whom would certainly crucify a MacDonald-Bayne) or the CIA? (by 'fascist American churches' I mean those churches which are fascist - I'm right and you're wrong' - not all American churches). Might the article be restored so that we can read it and perhaps add, edit, comment or provide sources??

Jonathan Keltz

I would like you to take a look at User:MichaelQSchmidt/Jonathan Keltz. There was an article about this fellow that was sent to AFD in January 2010.[17] As I myself commented back then, I felt that while the fellow might be seen to meet WP:ENT, there was simply not enough reliable coverage at that time upon which to build a decent BLP. That has changed. In the intervening 14 months, the fellow has received growing coverage and recognition he lacked originally. And with the new coverage, available only since the deletion,[18] I feel it benefits the project to have this new version of the article return to mainspace to further grow and be expanded. There was no flaw in the reasoning for original deletion... but this is not exactly the same as the article that was deleted, due to actor's career and coverage not sitting still over the last 14 months. I seek your approval in its return AND in it not being mistakenly speedied as a G4 recreation. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Just an additional note: RHaworth gave his blessing to an return to mainspace,[19] and sent me a link to the version he speedied, which I then found in a google cache.[20] I can well understand his deletion of that earlier version. Yikes. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 05:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Eirtakon

I hate having to keep bringing this up, but you were the deleting admin, so I'm going to come back to you to ask about whether or not I've managed to establish WP:N for the article yet? My only real other argument towards having it restored to mainspace as it is, is unfortunately still WP:OTHERSTUFF with several anime conventions in the European anime template at the bottom of the page having established even less notability.

This is also probably a sub-question to this, but would any imagery help the notability at all? TheChrisD ^{Rants•Edits} 22:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

I have seen Ali Tim has been deleted. I do not understand why? However, I wouldn't get into the longevity of policies and guidelines laid down by Wikipedia, I request you to guide me on creating verifiable articles. Will highly appreciate your response!

B1A4

I am curious as to why you decided that the B1A4 article should be deleted even after going through the articles for deletion process. From a clear count of numbers, 4 people were for it and 3 against and most those against said so before later information came up. Plus, the main reason against was over whether they met notability criteria, but I showed with sources that they did in more than one way. Plus, no one debated my findings so I thought they were a sure keep. Even if it was unclear, my understanding is that by default in that situation the article is kept.

You did not mention whatsoever what reason you gave for deletion as such I feel like the article should go under deletion review because your action makes no sense. It doesn't seem to follow the AfD page at all. To simplify things before that, would you mind explaining what you were thinking? Snowclrops (talk) 00:00, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Les Brown article deletion

You say that the evidence about Les Brown is unsupportable... that you "can not even find evidence for the one thing that ought to be possible, a marriage to Gladys Knight." Les Brown is real, and his work is real. It took me a couple of minutes to find a photo of [http://books.google.com/books?id=ijgDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=les+brown+gladys+knight+married&source=bl&ots=T_Ex5DChtD&sig=5gc90M_SZ6J6eKh8bZ3zXRLKxqY&hl=en&ei=XwVPTciGC46CsQPc5fjrCg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=9&ved=0CE8Q6AEwCA#v=onepage&q=les%20brown%20gladys%20knight%20married&f=false the happy couple. And his service in the Ohio Legislature is an easily retrievable matter of public record. What's you beef with Les Brown, Cirt? I'm beginning to think that Wikipedia has become unsupportable.

Weazie

Sorry to intrude, but you've just blocked Weazie for vandalism, and I can't see any vandalistic edits from them. I'm trying to talk to the other side of that conflict now with Sempi, and it seems that Weazie wasn't vandalizing, and was discussing edits on the talk page. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance. Dayewalker (talk) 07:03, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

 Done. -- Cirt (talk) 07:23, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

This person, Daywalker, is twisting the truth and appeared out of nowhere to defend Weazie. Daywalker was not a part of the recent discussion. Obviously, Daywalker must be a friend of Weazie.

In the discussion Weazie claims that I suggested removal of the whole section he deleted. This further proves that he is ignoring the discussion except for what he wanted to use as an excuse to delete things. What I wrote in the discussion is, "Maybe there shouldn't be a "Possible sources" section. The problem is not that the sources have been unreliable, the problem is the title of the section itself. I already suggested a solution at the very beginning of this discussion section."

Weazie took my first sentence and used it as an excuse to delete the whole section, while ignoring the other sentences, suggesting that the title was the problem. So, in deleting the section entirely, without reading the other two sentences, nor the previous suggestion mentioned in the third, it proves Weazie was merely looking for excuses to delete things, while ignoring the rest of the discussion; even within the same paragraph! Sempi (talk) 07:20, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Corruption. Sempi (talk) 21:50, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I didn't mention this is the report, but the multiple contributions deleted were not mine. I had no personal interest in reporting these deletions. They were all from other contributors that were engaging in the discussion, but were were not active at the moment and none of them had given any consensus to the deletion of their contributions.

One of them, Anythingyouwant had this to say, "I'm not going to bother arguing with you, or trying to satisfy you, because instead of modifying or rephrasing you prefer to completely delete material that is obviously relevant. Banging my head against the wall would be more useful.  :-) Cheers" Anythingyouwant, appears to have given up and been chased away due to Weazie's repeated deletions.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/B1A4

Hi Cirt. While I have every faith in your closures of AfD, I am questioning the wisdom of reopening and relisting this especially when a deletion review was called for. IMO, until our requirements for WP:RS and WP:V are satisfied until notability is clearly asserted, this twice deleted article should remain deleted. These guys clearly have an agenda, demonstrated by their constant disruption of due process, harrassment, and personal attacks, and I am wondering if sock/meat is also part of the tactics. I have no personal interest in the outcome of this article other than that Wikipedia policy is acknowledged. Regards, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 07:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to comment at WP:DRV about it. -- Cirt (talk) 07:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... seems like the DRV was opened, and closed, while I was asleep in my time zone. If the article passes with the new sources, that's fine by me of course, but that Snowclops is a rather persistent, and not altogether civil fellow. If I hadn't been involved, my finger would have been hovering over a uw button. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:30, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Pair Options

Hi Cirt, why did you decide that the Pair Options article should be deleted only after a few days ? this does not allow time for a due process. I would ask you to open it for deletion review again, for example I did not have time even to state my opinion, and I am not the article editor, PLUS, I have few concrete suggestions to the notability issue (references). Exotic Options are a complicated subject and due process should be given time .--Mikeruon (talk) 19:13, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Indications include a bit too quick with that delete tagging, which indicates brash decision making. -- Cirt (talk) 06:59, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Fair enough, though I'd characterize it as a misreading of policy rather than making decisions too fast. I'll go back to NPP and prove I've learned, and be back come July or August for another go. I hope I will have proved myself by then and you will be able to support along with the other opposers. Thank you for your input and constructive criticism, I truly appreciate it, though of course failing RFA is a bit disappointing. N419BH 07:07, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Who knows, maybe you'll end up doing what Courcelles did with DeltaQuad and nominate me ;). Seriously though, I appreciate it. It's still open because I want to gather feedback now on what I can do to improve, hence asking what you meant by temperament. BTW you mention experience as well; are you referring to total experience or inexperience with CSD or something else? N419BH 07:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Much obliged, thank you. For what it's worth I have zero DYKs, most of my work involves improves existing articles rather than writing new ones. I've done a couple AFD discussions. Thanks again and I'll see you at RFA come summer. N419BH 07:25, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
