RxSaver Page

I'd like to revisit RxSaver - there is a decent amount of coverage, and there are relevant links throughout Wikipedia on the healthcare crisis and companies like these seem to be getting shutdown by big pharma, so I think it makes sense to at least have a stub up there, as there seems to be significant coverage. 73.6.151.114 (talk) 14:23, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

The fact that Big Pharma are allegedly shutting down these companies is not really relevant to whether a particular article should appear on Wikipedia. However I will restore the article to draft space so that it can be worked on according to article guidelines: Draft:RxSaver ... discospinster talk 14:57, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Bands in Goa

I've spent a couple of hours working to get citations and better info fo the Bands in Goa page, and hope this meets the requirements. I am part of the Wikipedians of Goa User Group, and we sometimes have problems to find sources for information which is mostly in the oral domain. Seeking your assistance. Fredericknoronha.

I think the issue is that we don't want the article to be just a list of bands from Goa, if these bands don't already have Wikipedia articles (or could be eligible for one). It doesn't have to be the English Wikipedia, they could have articles in other languages as well. I will take the deletion notice off, but hopefully more information will be available to create articles for these bands. ... discospinster talk 22:57, 21 September 2020 (UTC)


super speedy deletion

Hi, you recently deleted a page I created: World Textile Art Organization. My issue is that within 24 hour of creating the page, it was deleted. I saw the flag for speeding deletion, was looking for further sources and the page was deleted by the time I went to add a source--this was within an hour of me seeing the speedy deletion flag. WTF!!!!!! It is't like there was any offensive or hateful there. really WTF

Savi Solutions

Good day,

You had deleted a page I created, Savi Solutions stating that I failed to disclose on my profile that I either am paid to edit or am otherwise tied to the page. The thing is, I've had such a disclosure on my profile for weeks now. Can you clarify the reason the page was deleted? I would like to get this resolved and get this information back online as soon as I can. Thank you!

I notice now that you did put that on your page. However, the article was not deleted for that reason, it was deleted because it was promotional in nature. ... discospinster talk 23:03, 6 October 2020 (UTC)


May I ask what section specifically came off as promotional? It is written objectively, meant to inform and educate. Apart from listing the services provided (like most businesses do with their Wikipedia pages), I'm not seeing how the article comes across as promotional in nature. Thank you.Jason.aul (talk) 18:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Content such as:
  • building innovative technology to save student loan borrowers time and money, and to avoid frustration with their existing loans.
  • As a public benefit corporation, Savi works with employers, membership organizations, and financial institutions to provide a unique student loan benefit for the employees, members, and customers of its partners.
  • a long-time student loan expert
  • helping the organization grow to be one of the largest and most impactful youth advocacy and policy non-profits in the country
This is not objective, its purpose is to promote the company and its founders. ... discospinster talk 15:06, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

Chill!

You move my article in draft. Fine. But perhaps your energy could be invested in more important stuff? I mean, the article is about a recent french movie. Nobody care if it's not "perfect" for a day or two. By moving in draft, that make collaboration harder and bring non real value.


I would suggest contemplating your work and see what real value you brings for user and editors. In my opinion you are moving stuff around, adding noise. Enforcing rules like a total bureaucrat is it really the best way to engage? Don't take me wrong, those rules have a purpose but chill a bit perhaps.

"there are not a lot of mentions of her on various wikis and lists but nothing substantive in reliable sources."

Beach Boogie

Thank you for your note on the above. I agree that the text may have been more flamboyant than was appropriate and redrafting of this would be better. I did try however to make the article factual, with details of the event in table format taking the information from printed sources that were available. I also agree with you regard to the large photograph at the bottom of the article, but this was more to do with my basic understanding of writing wiki than was actually intended (ie this is how it appeared when inserted and probably needs more suitable coding).

With regard to the independant sources, sometimes these are very limited and as long as the basic source is reliable it would be difficult to easily cross references these against other information from different sources, especially in an era before the internet. I slightly disagree with your statement "memorialize your memories" as this was a significant chapter in shaping the modern partner dance enviroment and I think the article would be of interest to countless people and that there would be significant additional contributions from others that would improve the quality of the information and add more detail to the article.

Would a republication be worthwhile, taking into account the comments you have made? For any future articles it would probably be better to have a review via sandbox before publification, but again in this instance this was more that I am new to writing such articles and am just getting to grips with the process.

My article on Marconi's yacht Elettra

Further to my article that currently exists as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Elettra_(ship_1904), this started out as a translation from the Italian Wikipedia at https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elettra_(nave_1904) It has now been extended and the text is supported by citations.

You will see from my user page that I have been a Wikipedia editor since c.2007 and have created various articles from scratch. I have also translated, contributed and edited many others. My status is 'Extended, confirmed user'.

I have this evening created a new article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelmo_Landini) on the English Wikipedia; this is a translation from the Italian article and an off-shoot from my article about 'Elettra'. This translation has been created directly in mainspace. I realise that I could have gone straight ahead and created the Elettra article directly into mainspace but unfortunately I neglected to do this. I believe it will be possible for me to move it directly into mainspace but I am alarmed by the warnings! Could you pse move it for me? With many thanks in advance.

Hi Discospinster, I have created a Page by Title "NSTEP" relating to the daily activities in Indian Courts. You have moved my Page to Draft. The reason was that it needs reliable source. Now I have compleatedthe references from reliable sources. Could you please move my draft page "Draft:NSTEP" to main page.Thanks in advance.

If you are referring to the version at User:A.R.V. Ravi, I'm afraid it's not quite encyclopedic yet. Right now it's mostly a list of procedures rather than anything substantive about the subject itself. ... discospinster talk 15:28, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Discospinster, Thanks for the guidance. The way in which the Page written may be like procedural.

Thanks once again. A.R.V. Ravi

At the moment it is not ready to be moved to the main page because of the reasons I mentioned. If you can trim the "how to" bits and add more about things like the history of it, and add links to third-party sources that talk about it (e.g. newspaper articles) then it would be more like an encyclopedia article. ... discospinster talk 16:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC

My Article was moved to Draft

Hi Discospinister, I have created my article on NSTEP. It is about the Way in which the Indian Courts are Issuing Summons and Notices to the Parties to appear. As you have moved my article to Draft, It may not be available to the Audience who seek references for NSTEP in Wikipedia. I have made the required Sources and citations and made the History and changed the contents to make it as an Encyclopedia. Please move my article"NSTEP" from Draft to Main Page. Thanks in advance. A.R.V. Ravi

If you are referring to Draft:National Service and Tracking of Electronic Process (NSTEP), it still looks like a how-to manual. It's really not necessary to describe how a person would enter information into the database. And there is promotional language as well: e.g. This Speedy Service of Process is yet another Milestone in the Success history of the Hon’ble Computer Committee of the Hon’ble Madras High Court. Right now it's not an encyclopedia article at all, it's more like internal work flow documentation. And there are not third-party sources, they are all government web pages. An example of what such an article should look like can be found at PACER (law).... discospinster talk 15:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Re:Kuk Sul Do (Choon Sik Yang)

Yeah, the whole Kuk Sul Do (Choon Sik Yang) thing has me bit confused. Originally, all the text is from the Kuk Sul Do page, but I decided to copy and paste it for another entry. Reason being that the other language entires in Kuk Sul Do refer to unarmed fighting system of North Korean military, and I figured to work the article to follow suit.

It's kinda bizzare that this Choon Sik Yang version of article has been allowed to exist for so long. Edit history indicates that the page was created in 2007 with User:Randhilforymeta and various anonymous users before him having put all the copyright nonsense on it.

Anyway, I have no real objections for deletion. Though I am bit worried that the Kuk Sul Do page might get vandalized by those who contributed a lot to the Choon Sik Yang variation. Dunno, we'll see what happens. Probably have to create a disambiguation page or something.--TrickShotFinn (talk) 19:12, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Yes it is strange that nobody noticed it for so long. If the article as it stands gets deleted for lack of notability there might not be a need for a disambiguation page. Maybe the Choon Sik Yang variation could be noted in a paragraph in the other Kuk Sul Do article (N. Korea version). ... discospinster talk 18:44, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

Sir, You deleted a wiki page by title ब्लॉग (which is Hindi of blog in English) but it does not duplicate the content of the English page. When before making the page, I typed ब्लॉग on search, I got a blank. Even now, it says, there is no page with title ब्लॉग and allows anyone to create a new page with this title. So, it should not be considered a duplicate article please!

PayPay Deletion

PayPay is an online payment system in Japan. It is quite common as a form of payment in many stores in Japan, and was created by Softbank, a major Japanese company. The company's article on Japanese Wikipedia has some length.

I created the page because I wanted to know more about PayPay. I was a bit surprised to find that the page was deleted. The rationale "R2. Cross-namespace redirects" is a bit cryptic to me as a non-editor. Can you better explain the rationale, consider un-deleting it, or find another way to solve the problem? Comfortably Paranoid (talk) 12:50, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Discospinster,

Ten days ago (!), you tagged this article for speedy deletion. But, for whatever reason, the CSD G4 category is not getting regular attention from patrolling admins. I was looking at the article and editors are actively working on it, there is a bit of an edit war going on between editors wanting to expand the article and those wanting to cut out all of the puffery so that it is a serviceable biography. I'm reluctant to delete it while it is still being improved so I thought I'd ask your opinion. Liz Read! Talk! 01:37, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Shankar Kapri - revised the article and would like to submit it again

Hi Discospinster,

Thank you for your intervention on a previous article that I had tried to publish. There were advertisement-related concerns about it. Of course it was not intentional. My goal was not advertising Shankar's businesses but introducing his attributes regarding activism and entrepreneurship. What he is after is worth being known by others, in my opinion.

Based on the warnings, I removed the unnecessary business information, then revised and further developed the article by supporting with more information and links. Could you take a look at it and advise me whether it looks eligible to be published now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mehmetcaputcu/sandbox

Many thanks, User:Mehmetcaputcu (talk) 10:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

@Mehmetcaputcu: Unfortunately it is still written in a way that praises the subject rather than just stating the facts. Also the article contains many citations to his own pages on social media - those are not necessary and the focus should be on sources about him, not by him. ... discospinster talk 15:39, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
@Discospinster: Could this issue be fixed by simply trimming some information, doing some rewording, and eliminating a couple of the references? Or do you think additional information and/or citations are also "really" necessary? I appreciate your time. User:Mehmetcaputcu (talk) 15:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
@Mehmetcaputcu: It definitely at the minimum needs to be trimmed of some promotional language, for example:
  • He is considered a modern exemplary figure in the sense that he inspires the youth in the country and demonstrates the determination needed for success despite difficulties.
  • He struggled with various challenges along his education and in the pursuit of a strong career.
  • Shankar Kapri had attempts and failures in his adventure of struggling, but never gave up.
  • and much of the same
It's not a resume, and you are not "selling" his skills and experience or praising him. And the fact that he donates blood is really not relevant to why he would be notable. Taking away the links to his own social media, the citations that are left do not discuss him in a significant way. That is what should be added (like newspaper and magazine articles). ... discospinster talk 17:30, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

User Elijah12354 possibly related to Cool a123

If you get a chance, can you look into this newly created Elijah12354 account? I believe that this user also operated the now blocked Cool a123. My evidence to support this claim is that Elijah12354's user page is cluttered with sports season pages. They were also using their talk page as a sandbox similar to what Cool a123 was doing, according to the user's talk page history. Another thing is that Elijah12354 and Cool a123 both share interests in the KC Chiefs, LA Lakers, GS Warriors, LA Kings, and Anaheim Ducks. I also noticed that both users made the same exact edit on the 2020–21 Anaheim Ducks season page, with these edits Cool a123's edit and Elijah12354's edit.

Stop violating WP:Draftify

You draftified my article Didacus Pyrrhus. This is a violation of Wikipedia policy. This is an abuse of power. Stop making Wikipedia worse.

Specifically, you failed to follow criteria 2a, 2d, and 3a of Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Drafts:

  • 2a) isn't met. New articles aren't required to immediately have sources. The article was a translation of a French Wikipedia article, which was sourced, as my edit comment indicated. You could have taken ten seconds to Google and found sources for every single claim in the article.
  • 2d) isn't met. I am not an inexperienced editor. My account is 15 years old. I have several hundred edits.
  • 3a) isn't met. The article was less than 12 hours old. It is preposterous to think that an article edited less than a day ago has "no evidence of a user actively working on it."

Moms for America

I have added additional sources and quotes, drawing on the page of US Rep. Mary Miller, whose remarks quoting Adolph Hitler on January 5 at the US Capitol made international news and were widely condemned by elected officials and Jewish leaders. In addition, Moms for America was one of the sponsors of the January 6, 2021 "March to Save America" and its President and Vice President were present at the "2021 storming of the United States Capitol" and made public remarks. These additional sources and comments provide context for the group's relevance to the events of January 5-6, 2021, as well as justification for creation of a wiki page for Moms for America.

Hi, I noticed you moved the article FC Vaulx-en-Velin to article space, stating it now has references. However of the references provided, all of them are dead.

Radio BIP moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Radio BIP, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources to establish notability. (?) I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster talk 22:22, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Notability

Hi. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baltic_News_Network&diff=prev&oldid=1002094028 Is there a difference between Baltic News Network and Baltic News Service - notability wise?

The page I created Baltic News Network, the portal has been qtd also in Fr24News and in books.[1][2][3]Paulaszi0 (talk) 21:37, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

Being quoted in an article is not the same as being significantly discussed. If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. (per WP:GNG). Are there any articles or book chapters, etc. that are about the Baltic News Network? That's the sort of thing that makes it notable by Wikipedia's criteria. Or has it won major awards or something like that? ... discospinster talk 15:29, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Thanks. The Baltic Course has an article dedicated to Baltic News Network-BNN [4] as well as by Lithuanian news site[5]. Yet, I'm still searching for any of aforementioned / criteria for Baltic News Service which does not carry the notability template. Wishing you a happy new year.

Hi, I had noticed you moved a draft from Baymax! to Draft:Baymax!. Today, I renamed another one, by the same author, to this page. Can you merge the together with Draft:Baymax! (TV serise)?

If it's by the same author, and there are no other significant edits by other authors, then they don't necessarily need to be merged. We could just pick one. Or am I misunderstanding what you're requesting? ... discospinster talk 15:24, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello there

I was opening an AFD on M.C. Paul when I saw this. A before showed that individual blatantly fell short of NACADEMIC & GNG & that doesn’t look like it is going to change anytime soon so I’m not so sure draftifying was a good idea, but in any case, I definitely do understand your reason for draftifying as the article (biographical) had 0 sources.

Cyborg Attack article

@Discospinster: How are you? I hope everything is fine. Well, it seems that my attempt to create a page about the group Cyborg Attack is going to end in the same failure as the last 3 attempts in the last years. Will it be an impossible crusade? it seems so. I ask you from my ignorance, would appearing on Discogs, MusicBrainz and AllMusic be insufficient references?

  • Hello. I have received a message in kind from a bot to describe instances of fair use imagery but I am confused.
  1. "A rationale must be included on this image description page."
  2. Yet, I can only find a page that says "File Summary", not "image description," where is the image description page found of any particular image? This is an understandable problem when it comes to warning templates as the wording does not describe how or where to do this. Please help! --LED BodyBuilding (talk) 20:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
@LED BodyBuilding: It looks like the image is not offered under a license compatible with use on Wikipedia (i.e. CC BY-SA). This means that all copyrights are reserved to the owner. In order to use it in a Wikipedia article, there would need to be a "fair use" rationale - which relates to things like whether the image is important to the article, whether there is no other image that could be used, etc.
However, I'm confused about the origins of this image. Did you take the photo? If so, then you are the copyright owner (or your employer). It's not clear what the Law Society of Ontario has to do with it. Where did it come from? Why does the description say "Zahoruk, North Burlington"? Is that who took the photo? ... discospinster talk 21:01, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Academia Cristo

Why did you move the Academia Cristo page to draft? It has multiple citations and is notable because it has the largest Lutheran social media presence.

The citations are mostlly from the organization's own site. There needs to be significant discussion of the organization in multiple independent sources in order to be considered notable for an article. ... discospinster talk 20:15, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

I disagree. There were citations from 5 websites and a doctoral thesis.

One of the websites is the organization's own site. Another is to an announcement about an event where a representative is giving a talk. The thesis was written by the president of the organization. The "Influencer Marketing Hub" page is about the definition of "influencer" and does not mention Academia Cristo at all. The "Forward in Christ" article was written by the president's wife. So no, these citations do not fulfill the criteria of significant discussion in multiple independent sources. ... discospinster talk 22:28, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

You are very correct. Interesting. What would you suggest in this instance? I do think that Academia Cristo has potential to be a notable entity (in fact, I think it already does). What is the path forward? Even if BBC interviewed Academia Cristo's president, would it still not be an independent source? I also don't understand how a credited doctoral thesis is not a proper citation.

The doctoral thesis was written by the president of Academia Cristo, so it's not independent. If the BBC wrote an article on the organization then that would be an independent source. ... discospinster talk 01:40, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Ronen Menipaz page deletion

Hello! First, thank you for the constructive feedback on the reasons why the page in question is tagged for deletion. I'd respectfully like to point out one thing: you wrote that the sources given are not about the person in question but reference #2 is all about Mr. Menipaz (the rest of the references are to verify certain details) and offers a solid case for notability per Wikipedia guidelines - the main reason you tagged the page for deletion. Would rearranging the order of references help? Damir Zira (talk) 12:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

It's not the order of the references, is just that there really should be more than one reference which talks about him significantly. Plus YNET is a site that is mostly independent contributors rather than staff, so it's hard to tell whether the interview was for news purposes or promotional purposes. ... discospinster talk 16:01, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Deletion Of Darts Players

Hi, Could you please stop suggesting that darts players I have put up basic info for on here are suggestions for deletion, please? These players have participated in major tournaments in their sport and deserve to have their (in most cases, limited) profiles mentioned on here. That's Wikipedia is for, highlighting players that not many people will have heard about. Darts might not be a massive sport compared to others, but these players have earned their pages by right, and shouldn't be deleted.

If you're such a senior editor as you say you are, you should update the rules so that everyone who has appeared in a major tournament, or who has won a PDC Tour Card. It's very embarrassing that these pages keep on being deleted, when they shouldn't be.JRRobinson (talk) 16:16, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

They are not notable by Wikipedia's criteria and I'm not going to unilaterally change the criteria so that they are. If you think that notability for athletes should be changed, you are welcome to bring up the discussion on WP:NSPORT. If you keep adding players that have already been deleted (or are not notable), this will be considered disruptive editing. ... discospinster talk 16:18, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Notability subjectivity

Hi discospinster. I have a question. I've been studying the development arc of articles beginning life as stubs, and working up to Good Article grade. There is something I cannot determine. Say where an article that attempts to be started with some sort of minimum weight of content, reliable sources, will yet be at once too lop-sided/unbalanced in some of its composition to the eyes of some others, and not-enough, in the eyes of still others. That's one way of putting it, but in another, it is simply not to the taste of some, and yes to the tastes of others. Can you explain to me how, when I undid the redirect on the JordanPetersonVideos page that you'd edited, you reasoned to shift the intention of the tag?

The point is, I provided good-faith reasons to Contest Deletion, but my reasons went unanswered. The tag shows a message, in the spirit of "If you are the author, do not remove this but if you are not the author, and you think you can improve the article, go ahead and do so, and you can remove this tag". That is an open-ended community thing, but it occurs within a few minutes of article creation. After my reversion, the message/tag goes from an open-ended community thing, which is for anyone who is willing to update, to what (pardon if I'm dramatic) seems as a trial by jury.

I have created several articles now, practicing, they're receiving minor edits by others, and support. So I'm trying to develop a taste for creation, slowly building up to more regularity, resolving red lines and such. Partly this depends on a confidence in the review process. But now, the process shifts to some other process very quickly. I have reviewed the notability pages you link, I've already read them a couple times recent last months, also RS, etcetera. I think this question of notability becomes a subjective and interpretive thing (yes understandable) yet given my points expressed in the Contest Deletion message went unanswered, this leaves the impression there is more subjectivity than I naturally accommodated and adapted to. I really do not want to feel like creating articles is walking through a minefield (I did originally and got over it, now yes again). Maybe you can advise me or revert the tag on that page to let others update it. Anyway I wish you well. Tomacpace (talk) 05:26, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

OK it seems to me that you are confusing the notability of an event that Peterson talks about on his channel with the notability of the channel. Is the channel *itself* the subject of significant discussion in multiple reliable sources? An article (or twenty articles) talking about something else that mentions a Peterson video is not "significant discussion" of the channel. Even the most famous YouTubers don't have separate articles dedicated to their videos. ... discospinster talk 22:31, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. I have attempted to address notability in the content of the article itself, however I will also make some concise points in the deletion discussion page. I hope these changes make some difference. Tomacpace (talk) 01:33, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Please stop removing entries from the List of fictional asexual characters page

As it is, the page is pretty thin, and removing entries, with sources (whether you like those sources or not), does NOT help anyone. I admit that not all the entries have the best sources, but removing them outright seems wrong on many levels. Instead of removing them, I'd appreciate it you helped find other sources for them. That would be much more constructive. --Historyday01 (talk) 12:50, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

The page is not a vehicle for promoting people's webcomics or books. Whether the page is thin or not isn't relevant to what entries belong on the list. If you think the entries should stay then you provide independent sources. ... discospinster talk 13:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Sigh. Discospinster, I will look into each of those webcomics, and work on creating pages for them, if at all possible. I was planning to create a bunch of pages for LGBTQ webcomics, myself, as you can see from the links I have in this sandbox, but only have limited time in the day and I have a job where I work from 9-5, so it's been delayed, and other stuff has come up. So, there's no need to remove content right now. If I determine that there aren't other sources for them, I'll remove them, but for now, they should stay in the interim. If you had started a discussion on the talk page of the List of fictional asexual characters instead of straight-up removing the entries, that would have been a better approach. I really don't want to get into an edit war with you, since I know you are doing it in good faith and I get where you are coming from, as I had the same concerns myself, but I did not want to remove the content just yet, at least keeping it until I attempted to create some new pages. --Historyday01 (talk) 13:27, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
Well, the creation of the pages for webcomics has begun, with the new/updated On a Sunbeam page. I doubt I'll able to find that many for the other webcomics, but I'll get to them one by one, even if it takes me the rest of the year. --Historyday01 (talk) 15:38, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
I'm glad to hear that. As long as there are some reliable independent sources then there would be justification for being in the list. ... discospinster talk 17:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Santhosh Babu's page creation.

Hi Discospister,

Good to connect with you. I noticed that Santhosh Babu's page was recently deleted. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Santhosh_Babu&action=edit&redlink=1

He is one of India's best IAS officers (praised by Dr.Abdul Kalam, the past President of India) having had over 250 innovations in his nearly 25 years of service.

He is medical doctor turned government administrator (a rare combination) and has held leadership positions in many government departments. He was the Information Technology Secretary and Managing Director of Tamilnadu Handicrafts Development Corporation.

He has retired from government service and joined Makkal Needhi Maiam, a political party. Here are news stories from prominent newspapers. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/former-ias-officer-santhosh-babu-joins-mnm/article33225909.ece https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chennai/hospital-room-mnms-santhosh-babu-hyper-digital-campaign-7243036/ https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/former-ias-joins-kamal-haasans-party-ahead-of-tamil-nadu-assembly-polls-in-2021-2332588

He is definitely a person of notability and adheres to all the requirements of Wikipedia.

Am happy to clarify any doubts you may have regarding this.

Kirubashankar (talk) 09:34, 26 March 2021 (UTC)

Letters Patent

Hello! I saw you moved Letters Patent (United Kingdom) to Letters patent (without the capital P).

I have edited it significantly since then, and I think its already qualified to be published. Ten out of 15 sources are independent. I have created maybe 2 dozen articles already, I was just not aware of that rule. I hope you can help me put it back as soon as possible. Thank you! Pampi1010 (talk) 11:26, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello? Could you assist me in publishing this article? Thanks. Pampi1010 (talk) 11:16, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

OK it is now in main space. ... discospinster talk 15:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! You're awesome! Pampi1010 (talk) 13:16, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

cool

thanks for deleting my page because if you wouldn't have, I would have not known there are wp creation guidelines, I just smashed the create page button haha. Also, I'm not sure what you mean about the whole employee thing, I don't know what about my idiotic edits gave you that impression... JameezWiki (talk) 15:46, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Waheed Alkhan Page

Hello!

Why did you delete the page right away? I work with Waheed and the Biography we wrote both in the globalmusicgarden and wikipedia was made by our team and therefore doesn't infringe any copyright.

Just because you originally wrote it doesn't mean that it can be copied to Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions on how to allow the material to be used on Wikipedia (via the terms of the public licences CC-BY-SA and GFDL). Also the text was incredibly promotional, so it would have to be rewritten anyway to comply with the policy of neutrality. Since you work with/for him, you should also review the policy on conflict of interest. ... discospinster talk 16:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Uss7777

Hi. Thanks for blocking User:Uss7777. I had noticed their ongoing disruptive behaviour but not (yet) found the time/energy to make a report. I've also noticed that both 178.42.68.9 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and 83.9.131.2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) are almost without a doubt the same person, based on the overlap of edited pages and the nature of their edits, and the latter has been active since the block. I don't know if this calls for any immediate action, but I'll just leave it here. Thanks again! Lennart97 (talk) 09:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

And now 555trail (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) as well. Lennart97 (talk) 14:58, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
I have permablocked them both. ... discospinster talk 15:05, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
They're back at it again... Thanks in advance :)Lennart97 (talk) 21:53, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

"Roots Action"

Hi - I understand the note that says the "Roots Action" page was deleted because it's redundant with the Roots Action entry on Norman Solomon's page. Since RootsAction.org is a valid and verifiable organization that is independent of Norman Solomon, I was hoping to remove it from Norman Solomon's page after establishing the new page. Is there a way I can resubmit this and have it be accepted? Thank you.

If you can show that the organization is notable independently of being associated with Norman Solomon, then it might be eligible for its own page. You would need to find independent, reliable sources discussing the organization per se. ... discospinster talk 16:38, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
The main ones I can find, through a quick search are Common Dreams, ProPublica, PR Watch, Politico, CounterPoint, KPFA, Florida Politics, HuffPost, Action Network, CSPAN, AdWeek, and National Press Club. That's about it. Just thought I'd add that. Historyday01 (talk) 17:38, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo

Hi discospinster, although it may seem contradictory, I appreciate the speedy deletion of the article "Cremades & Calvo-Sotelo" because after having read it in a rigorous way, it can be promotional. So I will try in the draft to be very demanding and remove all this information. My job is to try to make compatible the rigorous information of the facts complying with Wikipedia rules, that's why I advise several companies, and so it appears in my user page, but I will also include this information in the talk article. Together we make a better Wikipedia, thank you --Ursulabela (talk) 10:26, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Response to your flagging of Always Evergreen

Thank you for taking the time to review my article Always Evergreen, the musical duo of Willow Osborne and Jeanna Zenz. I've responded to you substantively on the Talk: page there. As I'm new to submitting whole articles on Wikipedia, I don't know if I should reproduce my response here, or just add this as a personal note to give you the courtesy of contacting me directly if you'd like.

If the additional statistics I included in the Talk: page there would satisfy your concerns, I'm happy to make those changes. Do I need to do something more to prompt reconsideration of your flag? Are there others who will consider the question?

I know that as a volunteer, your time is precious, and I appreciate all that you and the other volunteer contributors to Wikipedia are doing. I hope to be contributing more in the future. Thanks, ScottWade56 (talk) 05:01, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Notability basically means that the subject has been significantly discussed in multiple reliable sources. Youtube views and that sort of thing are not necessarily indicators of notability. What you wrote about in the talk page might demonstrate that Willow Osborne is notable (and the sources in the band's article are mainly about her), but that notatbility does not automatically extend to the band. For that you would need to find sources that discuss Always Evergreen per se. I suggest that you create an article about Willow Osborne, and include a section about Always Evergreen. (However you do not need to list each and every performance and video they have done.) ... discospinster talk 13:26, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Re: Hatenkai moved to draftspace

Yo. I understand the decision, though I figured the entry would just get outright deleted without draftspace. That said, it's bit of an tall order to try find English or even Japanese citations on the matter. Even Hatenkai's Japanese wikipedia entry (ja:覇天会) has a similar problem - with two warnings dating from September 2012 saying it has no citations and that it lacks notability for independent entry. I unwisely pushed on without even giving a draft a thought.

Anyway, I currently feel Hatenkai maybe should just be relegated to a specific mention in Aikido styles than its own entry. While Hatenkai *is* recognized and a real thing, there simply isn't enough for an tangible entry. All references to it - that I can find - are either blogs, reddit discussions or stuff on Youtube (demos and examination by western martial artists). And from what I understand, none of these are valid for references. TrickShotFinn (talk) 06:19, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Page Review Request

Hi Dear, Hope you doing well. In past you delete our Wikipedia page (Tittle: Thepssaini). Now we improve our page please review it again (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Thepssaini). If you see any issue again then please let us know how we can improve our page.

Thanks & Regardless, Parkashjit Singh

Unfortunately the article is promotional in nature and the references are to self-written PR pieces. ... discospinster talk 20:08, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Draft:2021–22 UNC Greensboro Spartans men's basketball team

Hello. I have added several sources for the information on this page. Could you move it to the mainspace, please?

OK I have moved it. ... discospinster talk 20:05, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi Discospinster, apologies it looks like you were moving the above to draft at the same instant I was adding categories to it during NPP review, this seems to have resulted in me re-creating the page in mainspace (I wasn't the original author) Not sure what to do here so can these two conflicting new page and draft be merged? JW 1961 Talk 22:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes I think I can merge them. ... discospinster talk 22:54, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Discospinster, Thanks a lot JW 1961 Talk 22:57, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Yes Discospinster, why did you "take sides" in this so-called edit war? Where is your "hands-off neutrality? I adhered to the rules in that regard. WAR only existed in your view. You assumed power as judge and jury and your assumptions are incorrect. Both you and thee other "Chosen One" below are incorrect. I am beginning to believe you're the author of that Raider Nation page. Please take the "redirection" OFF and delete my article all together. Raider Nation and The RAIDERNATION are separate and equal "legal names."

I was being neutral. The RAIDERNATION is not notable by Wikipedia's standards. ... discospinster talk 13:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello Discospinster. I noticed that you fully protected Raider Nation a few days ago and while I am glad you decided to take action on what is clearly an edit war, why did you choose to fully protect the article? Wouldn't it have made more sense to use extended confirmed protection instead, since none of the users involved in the edit war (that I can see) are extended confirmed? Just curious. SkyWarrior 03:11, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

I expected that they might become extended confirmed so I was being proactive. ... discospinster talk 13:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
Really? The editor in question created their account on April 11; you need to be here at least 30 days in order to get extended confirmed, and you only protected the article until April 29. Furthermore, at the time you protected the article they had a whopping 14 edits. I highly doubt they would’ve amassed 500 edits by the time the protection expires.
Essentially, I think full protection was too much. SkyWarrior 16:50, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

RE: Albert Fry

Dear Discospinster, I translated the article about Albert Fry from the Irish Gaelic page https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Fry into English. This individual unfortunately died yesterday ! If you don't consider it notable then do as you wish with it. I thought that the article might be of interest to English speakers. Ériugena (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2021 (UTC)

All of the sources given are to catalogue entries and primary materials. If he is notable then there should be significant discussion of him in multiple reliable sources. ... discospinster talk 16:28, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Revertions "British" to "English"

My amigo (amigo means friend in Spanish, I am Ecuadorian), Why you didn't still understanding me? I explain you that is more frequent to see English instead of British, British most refer to English, please trust me, that famous that I edit his nationality (except John Boyega, is English) lived most part of their lives on England. --Lil Pablo 2007 (talk) 02:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

I understand you, but you are wrong in changing it. Freddie Mercury, etc. have British nationality. Unless they specifically and explicitly associate with one of the constituent countries (like Andy Murray prefers to be described as Scottish), then they are described as British. ... discospinster talk 16:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Style 1940 Draft

Thank you for your message on my talk page. I did not realize, nor did I intend, that the draft I was working on be published. I thought I was working in a sandbox I had created while I was translating the article and preparing all of the elements that accompany a translation. This was my first time attempting to use the translation tool, and I've just found my mistake in how I had published it. I believe I've corrected that. TrudiJ (talk) 06:27, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Discospinster, will you please delete the Draft:Style 1940? After quite a bit of searching, I am not finding resources in English to cite for the translated version. Thank you. TrudiJ (talk) 07:51, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
@TrudiJ: The resources don't have to be in English, as long as they are reliable. ... discospinster talk 16:29, 7 May 2021 (UTC)

Protected mainspace title

Hey @Discospinster, Hope you're well. I came across a draft titled Emiway which has been submitted for the review. The subject is a rapper with orginal stage name Emiway Bantai. The page titled as Emiway Bantai has been continuously created in past so the orginal name Emiway Bantai has been protected (only administrators can create it). The subject is now covered by multiple reliable sources and is notable per WP:MUSIC. Since you were the admin who protected the page, I request the protection level of page Emiway Bantai to be reduced so that I can move the draft to its original name. Thankyou. signed, Iflaq (talk) 23:35, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
