Ely etymology

I am surprised at your recent poorly sourced insertion of an etymology section into Ely in this diff. I am especially suprised as the article has been marked with {{Refimprove}} since June 2008; you thus appear to be making this article even more poorly referenced. I may of course be wrong, in that you intend returning soon to add inline citations of reliable sources to these recent additions—Senra (Talk) 10:03, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I have raised the issue of reliability of JISCMail at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#JISCMail - English Place Name List .28EPNL.29 forum as I am honestly not sure --Senra (Talk) 10:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I came across this on the RSN page, leaving the reliability aside, I'm surprised as a long term editor you are not aware that we do not use bare external links in the text of articles? External links should either be provided as references or used clearly in an external link section. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello

  • Thanks for fixing Kataragama versus Kataragama temple article, but people have messed up all the work you did, now you have two articles with the same page history. What can you do ? Thanks Kanatonian (talk) 14:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Actually, they have two articles one with a page revision (i.e Kataragama temple) is the same as the new Kataragama article, it is a cut and pase job. Now we no longer have a dissambiguation page anymore. Thanks Kanatonian (talk) 14:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
  • I have restored page Kataragama to the disambig page and added another meaning and I have put it on my watch list. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:33, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Eulsa treaty overview

When you closed the move discussion, the block-save text excludes two relevant sections -- compare Revision history of Talk:Eulsa Treaty. As you can see, this text was posted prior your closing decision; and the substance is explicitly related to the topic of re-naming:

I have two requests:

A. Please encompass these sections within the archived discussion thread.
B. Please reconsider your decision in light of these brief restatements.

The overview provides a fine-focus summary of relevant elements in this context. --Tenmei (talk) 18:11, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

  •  Done I have put the end tag in the right place. I did consider this text; I have seen several of this sort of discussion before, which rhubarbs on repetitively for weeks and never comes to a decision. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:19, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Parsing argument content — acknowledging categories of constructive comments:
* Refuting the Central Point
* Refutation
* Counterargument
____________
Identifying remarks which are unhelpful:
* Contradiction
* Responding to Tone
* Ad Hominem
Please explain in different words.
We learn from experience; and if this is to be useful as a lesson learned the hard way, please clarify what your closure means.
As you know, the graph at the right is posted as an illustrative device at WP:Dispute resolution. In Talk:Eulsa Treaty#Requested move, it seems to me that any hope for WP:Consensus was thwarted by Contradiction. Have I construed this much correctly?
Did I misunderstand the purpose or function of the venue?
In the limited forum of WP:Requested moves, were each of the participants expected to know from the outset that your role as administrator is to evaluate mere contradiction as equivalent to refutation and counter-argument? If so, please make that conventional policy explicit so that we can be guided accordingly.
In other words, should we have understood that the graphic representation of the hierarchy of disagreement was inappropriate as a useful dispute resolution model in this specific instance? --Tenmei (talk) 14:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
  • Down the years I have seen plenty of the sort of long discussion which goes on for weeks and gets to be longer than the article that it is about and never comes to a concensus. This discussion looked like becoming one of those. When I closed that discussion at 08:35 on 4 October 2010 that discussion had already been running for 34 days (31 Aug to 4 Oct 2010) without coming to a concensus. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:19, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
The so-called "discussion" dragged out over an even longer period of time. It was initiated on August 8 and re-listed on August 31. It was clear early on that no consensus would be possible. My questions are not complaints, but rather a set of practical responses to a murky set of issues. For example, in the broadest possible sense ...
  • What could we have done differently?
  • What should I have done more effectively?
It seems that we were wrong when we construed the addition of Eulsa Treaty in this venue was a potentially constructive step.
At a minimum, I expected an administrator to encourage using the hierarchy of disagreement graphic as a tool. I viewed this venue as a mechanism for moving the stalled "non-discussion" forward. That did not happen; and now I am beginning to guess that it was never even a possibility. Aha -- I see that I missed the point.
Our experience suggests that the function of this venue was not adequately explained or understood. This is why I am trying to ask pertinent questions.
In this context, I see that I need to thank you for closing the thread. Thank you for helping us to recognize that this venue has nothing further to offer. --Tenmei (talk) 19:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
  • "What could we have done differently?": in many of these discussions, there are arguments for "yes" and arguments for "no", and no concensus and no clear majority, and the difference of opinion cannot be avoided. Anyway, the losing name redirects to the winning name, so both names find the article. Same as that e.g. I, being British, have to put up with page Petrol redirecting to page Gasoline, although I always call it petrol. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:20, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Mediation

I sought assistance here — Wikipedia:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2010-10-04/Eulsa Treaty. I do not know what happens next. --Tenmei (talk) 21:17, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Summarizing the so-called discussion which began at Talk:Eulsa Treaty in early August here:
A. In an attempt to help us start discussion, options were proposed here and refined here.
  1. Leave it at its current name?
  2. To Japan-Korea Protectorate Treaty?
  3. To Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905?
  4. To 1905 Protectorate Treaty?
  5. Or what?; see the second paragraph of page Eulsa Treaty.
B. Valentim presented the results of a Lexis/Nexis search here. This supplements several Google searches.
In the many weeks of so-called discussion thread development, those opposing the move have either been unwilling or unable to present refutation or counterargument; and therefore, I propose we delay no longer.

In other words, I suggest that there is a consensus to act now on the basis of the Lexis-Nexis search outcome. The time has come for this article to be renamed Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905. --Tenmei (talk) 19:46, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Your opinion is in demand

Hello Anthony Appleyard, could you please have a look on paragraph Talk:Eulsa Treaty#Using Wikipedia:Article titles to find proper article title and tell us on this discussion page wheather the first two tables there are all right in your opinion or not? Thank you. Greetings --Valentim (talk) 00:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

  • Regarding the recent move discussion, you might have given your suggestion a little more time for consideration before going ahead and implementing it (and since you participated in the discussion, does your closure not violate WP:RMCI?). Also, while I'm aware of your disambiguiation preferences from your comments at RM, do note that WP:PRECISION is part of Wikipedia policy, and suggests that the punctuation is significant enough. PC78 (talk) 12:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
  • When I closed that discussion, its link was already in Wikipedia:Requested moves#Backlog. As regards punctiation, often people remember a pop music item only by the text of the name without remembering case of letters and contained punctuation marks, when typing its name into Wikipedia looking for information. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
  • That doesn't address my concerns. As a participant in the discussion, I don't think it was appropriate for you to close the discussion, certainly not in favour of your own suggestion which was made less than 24 hours previously. And you still haven't explained your disregard for article naming policy. The punctuation would have been a sufficient disambiguator, and hatnotes would have taken care of the rest. But now people must find these articles via a dab page. This is not an improvement. PC78 (talk) 23:59, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
  • OK, OK, I have reopened this discussion, at Talk:Back It Up!! (Nils Lofgren album)#Move?. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:04, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Wheelock

  • Hi Anthony, I deleted that text from Wheelock, Cheshire because it consisted of either trivia or unreferenced material (which was mostly trivia as well) from 2008. Do you thnk it could be brought up to scratch? I did think about looking for some references, but statements such as "Wheelock has a large housing esate" probably don't merit it. What do you think? Thanks, RC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Roman Candle (talkcontribs) 16:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
  • The information that I restored in this difference can be checked by going to Wheelock. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:16, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
    • I can do that, but would it constitute original research? I wouldn't have a problem with it. Maybe OR is too tightly defined, but I've seen a few cases here where OR has been mentioned. The Roman Candle (talk) 16:35, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Elise Harris deletion/salting

  • Hello, a page I worked on a little, trying to collect references has been deleted for lack of notability. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elise_Harris Fair enough, and the deletion discussion was a bit fraught with drama and accusations sockpuppetry (I did not take part but it seems to have got quite vicious) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Elise_Harris - however it was on my watch list and I notice the page has now been indefinitely salted because of "multiple deletions and recreations". If that link to the page is correct there WAS a frivolous creation of the page in 2007 but the only other deletion/creation before the latest one was when someone asked for a different version of the page to be migrated over. The subject of the article might or might not have enough references of notability now but that doesn't mean there might not be enough in the future. Salting seems a bit harsh. Is there a procedure to reverse the salting in the future if more notability becomes apparent? And have the accusations of sockpuppetry in the deletion discussion been looked into? Is there a way to check? Discussion -

IncrediCube

  • For what reason the article about IncrediCube was deleted? IncrediCube is a real and highly serious entity. It is an Internet company devoted to the development of an advanced CMS for mostly academic uses. You can Google the company - IncrediCube - as well as Eyal Engelhardt Ari and Ethan Kushner and see for yourself that these are serious people. Eyal, who is an academic, has published a lot of material both in the field of social history and new internet technologies. Ethan is a respected business executive. The article is not intended as a promotion and is not spam. It is a genuine article meant to give information about a real company and its activities. All the information in it is verifiable and drawn from reliable sources.

Tianyi Film Company

  • Hi, you omitted to record the reason when you deleted the article Tianyi Film Company. The entity appears from other article links to be sufficiently notable; what was the problem, please? - Fayenatic (talk) 14:11, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
  • It has only 2 edits: they are:
    1. 16:32, 4 March 2010 by User:Dave.Shun: its text is "天一电影公司", which is Chinese for "Tianyi Film Company".
    2. 03:38, 5 March 2010 by User:AMK152: its text is "{{delete|vandalism}}".
  • OK, thanks - no great loss, although the Chinese name may come in useful! - Fayenatic (talk) 18:34, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Securities Industry Association renaming or deletion?

I'd proposed and backed the renaming of this article to Security Industry Association, since that was the name of the association the article content addressed. You executed one of two actions yesterday which resulted in the deletion rather than the renaming of the article. I've discussed this in more detail here, at the page of the other editor involved yesterday. Maybe total deletion was intended by one or both of you, but other editors had indicated agreement with the idea of renaming on the (now-deleted) talk pages. I'd appreciate your further input.

Thanks. Swliv (talk) 01:00, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, Peter Karlsen has given his view of the history of the development at the above "here" link, indicating the deletion was intentional because of cut-and-paste copyright violations by Vegas949. He also referred me to you if I had made original contributions to the deleted article. I had not -- I came at the whole problem from the Securities side. Peter did not say who'd made the deletion determination and sort of seemed to want to say I'd wasted his time on renaming by initiating it without, I guess, catching the violations. I did invest alot in the article's renaming, partly because it was new territory for me, partly because it seemed to be in what I see as the generally weaker business realm of the encyclopedia.

If I may ask, isn't this also the kind of violation which often gets addressed with an advisory template, looking for improvement?

If you care to go further on this, I guess I haven't quite given it up or made full sense of what happened. Thanks. Swliv (talk) 01:47, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Wow! Well, thank you. I've responded in some detail at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Security Industry Association, with background, new info, ideas and the hope we don't have to start from scratch.

One specific which may be in your power alone to help with I mention there but repeat (revised) here:

  • On the old talk page of the old Securities Industry Association page, I think it was, where discussion was proceeding about my name-change proposal, I worked out the template to refer inquiries about the Securities Industry Association to the successor SIFMA page. If that template could be retrieved, I'd appreciate it; would save doing it again. It would of course be better than having Securities Industry Association redirect to the now-correctly named and unrelated Security Industry Association page. Maybe a corresponding template at SIFMA would be wise, too, though, since maintaining the name-distinction is difficult. I'd do that.

Thanks again for your work on this. Nice boost the temporary respite has given me. I really was pretty discouraged, above there. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 18:37, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

A discussion has begun about whether the article English language idioms derived from falconry, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/English language idioms derived from falconry until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. —outoffocus 03:04, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Any action required for this cut and paste move?

  • Hello Anthony, I have seen you at the cut and paste move holding pen a ton, and was wondering if any action is necessary for this?

Previously deleted article 'resurrected'

  • Hi. An article you previously deleted in 2008, Nigel Spencer, on grounds of notability has been recreated under slightly differentl title Nigel Spencer (writer) by apparently the same editor using a slightly different User Name. Appears to be a clear conflict on interest and misuse of multiple accounts. Just wondering what the next step should be? Best. RashersTierney (talk) 18:17, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
  • I have AfD'ed it: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nigel Spencer (writer). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:45, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Music To Picture

Hello Anthony
A page was created entitled Music To Picture, and it is being considered for deletion by two administrators. I can partially see their point in that not much has been written about this album, even though the few references listed are legit and noteworthy. ASCAP is one of the three leading performance rights organizations and the link provided lists many songs Terry Silverlight has written that have been aired in TV and film. The other references listed are equally as reliable with references to Terry Silverlight's notable work. Whether this page is deleted or not isn't a major issue. The main concern is that they are implying a possible deletion of the main Terry Silverlight page. That I find unreasonable and will do whatever possible to dispute that. It's a concern that these two administrators are referring to the deletion warning that still exists on the Terry Silverlight discussion page. The fact is, that warning was issued early on in the article's life, and since that point everything needing improvement has been corrected. So, the warning at this point is completely inapplicable. Had the administrators been more thorough, they would have followed the edit history of the page and found that out for themselves. They're going back in time about something that no longer is a problem with that article. Before a response is made to the Music To Picture talk page, or any significant action is taken, I was hoping to get your advice how to proceed. Would you advise responding to them, or just let it go at this point? I'd like to prevent an issue with a new deletion for Terry Silverlight, so do you think it's best to step in now, or wait.
Thank you for your Wikipedia expertise.

Reelin' In the Years

Ah... good point. "Are you reelin' in the years/Stowin' away the time" etc. etc. "Reelin'", "Stowin'", "Gatherin'"... context is everything! Steely Dan lyrics tend to be quite impressionistic, so I guess I got it into my head that he meant "reeling" as in "thrown off balance", feeling dizzy with the rush of it all or something... in which case it would be "Reelin' in the Years". My bad. Cheers, Wikkitywack (talk) 07:18, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

  • That was quick :-) ; I was still working on the Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen description when I noticed that the move had already been made. On more issue though: The discussion page with a lot of info is still at the original location Talk:Henrietta Anne Stuart; perhaps that can be moved to Talk:Princess Henrietta of England? I didn't do the move myself since there is some new discussion on that page JdH (talk) 17:13, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Already being  Done while you were typing this message. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Was this a recent cut and past move (after my first warning (18 August 2010 ) to user:LouisPhilippeCharles) not to make these moves or an old one? From the edit history it looks like it was made in July this year is that correct? BTW Anthony I much appreciate the work you've done cleaning up after user:LouisPhilippeCharles. -- PBS (talk) 20:43, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
  • This page has a complicated history of moves and cut-and-pastes and at least one previous histmerge.

The edit entry "22:10, 14 July 2010 LouisPhilippeCharles m (15,494 bytes) (moved Henrietta Anne of England to Princess Henrietta of England" describes a move by the proper method, not a cut-and-paste.

Removal of Ex Occidente page

  • I assumed that there would be some warning (a proposed deletion notice?) that the page did not come up to a perceived standard before it was simply deleted? If I can come up with a line or two explaining why this particular small press is notable is it possible to reinstate it? Ghostlybrian (talk) 19:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
  • It was deleted "not notable": see WP:NN. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:45, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Agreed - it did read like a trade listing. I would have proposed noting that in a short period of time the press has published a number of books by notable authors (Reggie Oliver, Quentin S. Crisp, Mark Samuels etc) which have individually received positive reviews. The early, out of print titles appear to be sought-after by collectors. "Weird fiction" is a specialist field, but one in which the press is notable. I have had problems finding references to the press as a whole, though - I would suggest the restoration of the article with a notice that it requires the references I've been unable to source.Ghostlybrian (talk) 22:56, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Aqua buddha?

You participated in a discussion respecting the proposed move of this list. Unfortunately, the proponent of the move initiated overlapping merge, move and AFD discussions, causing some degree of confusion, when it appears that his objective was to merge this list into one list for North American veterans. If you are interested, the actual merge discussion is at Talk:Last surviving United States war veterans#Merger proposal. Best regards, --Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:12, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Removal of 15miles Page

In your speedy deletion of 15miles page, I didn't have a chance to convince you otherwise. I shortened and revised the original copy to remove promotional verbiage, including the company's tagline that has the word "Sales" in it. I am trying to create a post similar to the 360i page, which even explains awards (I removed awards from 15miles' page to be less promotional). If permitted to continue this page, I will simply state what 15miles is, unless you can accurately pinpoint for me what prompted the deletion. Corygrassell (talk) 22:27, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

The following message came from Fæ, as I contacted her also regarding this issue. I wasn't sure whom to contact, as I received messages from you both.

"If you ask AA he can, at his discretion, put a copy of the deleted article in your user space as a draft for improvement and to resolve any issues of notability or promotion. Fæ (talk) 23:10, 11 November 2010 (UTC)"

As a result, I would be pleased if you would put a copy of the deleted article in my user space for improvements. If that happens, how will I know that my future edits will make the entry permissible? Is there a message/code I should be looking out for? Corygrassell (talk) 23:26, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

  • Anthony, thanks for your cooperation and patience. Bear with me, as I aim to get this right. I have revised the copy for 15miles, and followed the model for the 360i page. As I'm new to this, how do I submit my changes for review/approval and/or move it from a User page to a standard wiki page? Thanks. Corygrassell (talk) 17:14, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
  • A revised version has been saved at User:Corygrassell/15miles_version2. I established notability be revising the content, and I included footnotes where external links appear. Please advise on the next steps. Thanks. Corygrassell (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Thanks for all your help and patience. My final question (I hope) is: With the approval of the 15miles page/revisions (version 2), is the "move" something that happens on my end or via Wikipedia/bot? If it is something that I must do, do you have any resources to direct me to for assistance? Corygrassell (talk) 02:15, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
  • This move request will stand the usual length of time in Wikipedia:Requested moves and then an admin (perhaps me) will obey it or reject it. The main hazard is that the page 15miles will be deleted as WP:SPAM and/or "non-notable corporation". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Noticed this on the Requested Moves page, and your comment for not moving it. Japanese cruiser Yasoshima would actually be the preferred title for the page, under WP:SHIPS page naming standards. (There's currently a huge discussion going on about this, with, last I checked anyway, no consensus for any change (or much of anything really).)

There were about 18 edits total while the discussion was open, but about half of those occurred within a day or two of your closing, and 7 out of 9 of those on the very day you closed it!

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

  • If the infobox really must be placed on a separate page and then transcluded back into the article, instead of being placed on the article directly, then that separate page has to be outside articlespace — because every single page in articlespace has to have real categories on it, and there aren't any categories that are appropriate for a standalone infobox. Really, I don't see a compelling reason why it's necessary in the first place — articles with vastly longer and vastly more bit-heavy infoboxes than that still have the infobox placed directly on the article — but if there's a genuinely good reason, then it needs to be done properly.

ViaViente deletion

Hi Anthony,

I am attempting my first article and am trying to navigate the Wiki criteria. I believe I have met all of the criteria for notability. Criteria for speedy deletion include the following: "it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant." However, I have never seen an approved entry explain why it is important. It seems to me that meeting notability achieves importance. Also, you selected "unambiguous advertising or promotion" as the removal criterion. I am presently making revisions in an Editing User:Davidnbell/Viaviente page. Can you please assist me?

Also, thank you for your patience. This experience is a bit like learning a new language :)

Davidnbell (talk) 14:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

1) I believe the independent media citations meet all of the criteria for general notability; 2) I have nothing to do with previous articles; 3) I have used company/product descriptions that are accepted (e.g. SoBe) for guidance. Can you please explain for me how a listing can be accepted as a legitimate company/product description while another is considered "advertising masquerading as an article?" if both are objective, neutral descriptions?

Will you please review my modified entry?

Davidnbell (talk) 14:41, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

  • I have somewhat wikified the article. However, it still seems to concentrate on promoting Viaviente and in my opinion is liable to be deleted as advertisement. Sorry. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:49, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Anthony...I appreciate your help! My objective is to describe honestly not advertise. I understand you see the nuances here like a first language. I cannot distinguish between other objective listings and this regarding promotion. Can you suggest some techniques for making it seem less promotional?

Thanks, again, for your constructive guidance.

Davidnbell (talk) 16:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Anthony, do you suggest that I should submit it now and see how it goes? I would prefer to make any additional changes you suggest before hand. Thx.

  • There also would be the matter of whether the Wikipedia community at large considers Viaviente to be noteworthy (see WP:NN) among thousands of food products available in shops. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your insights. As a "newbie," but an experienced business analyst and writer, I do have two thoughts. First, why won't all entries that objectively describe just one company and its product(s) (e.g. SoBe) be considered "concentrated on promoting itself?" Second, there are hundreds of thousands of food products and very few companies that are on a national consumer radar screen (e.g. Kraft, Coca-Cola). However, small companies such as ViaViente form the engine of innovation. That is why Coke and Pepsi, for example, have purchased innovation in the likes of Odwalla, Naked Juice, etc. This makes the small companies meaningful if not commonplace. Thanks, again, for your kind assistance.

Davidnbell (talk) 03:13, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

My son, who has some experience editing Wikipedia articles, recommended that I contact you to let you know that I will be submitting this edited article under the spelling of ViaViente with 2 capital "Vs".

Hi Anthony...just a quick note. You were right, the entry was deleted again. Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks, again, and happy holidays

Clarification

  • Hey. I was wondering if you could help me understand WP:N a little better. On pages like no claim of notability is made but there are several reliable and independent references given in the article, how does their inclusion work? I'm an established editor and have been on WP for year. I made Patxi's Chicago Pizza and while I can't say that the company is clearly notable, there were at least 4 independent references given from what I consider to be reliable sources. The article was tagged for A7 which I didn't remove so I plead my case on the talk page. In short, why'd you delete the page and why would there not even be a discussion in an AfD regarding a subject who has been received significant coverage from provided sources? I'm not trying to attack you or anything like that, I just want to know if I'm misunderstanding something. OlYellerTalktome 21:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

The Bruery

Anthony,

Why did you delete the page I created for The Bruery? I supported the page with several references including the New York Times and OC Register (if you would like, I can also include references to their beers in other major publications). I also referred to the several gold medal awards that their beers have won at the two most prestigious beer events in the world: The World Beer Cup and The Great American Beer Festival. There is no reason The Bruery's page should be deleted if it is ok for Stone Brewing, Dogfish Head Brewing, Firestone Walker Brewing, Sierra Nevada Brewing and countless other craft breweries to be included on this website.

It seems to me that you are unaware of this upcoming craft brewery and don't realize all of the awards they have already won, despite my having referenced several of them.

I would like to request that you undelete the page that i spent so much time creating.
