This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

- @Amakuru: I was not the article starter. I have contributed to the article. Was dismayed to see the deletion. But hopefully we can make the article starter aware. Lightburst (talk) 15:24, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Cary S. Cox[edit]
Thank you I just wanted to thank you, for putting in the time to do research on Cary Cox. Although I have a COI, I felt a Wikipedia page should be started on him as an inventor. I have his 3 patents that he won from the US Patents Office, letters that he wrote to the patent attorneys, and to the Contienental Gin Company in making his version of the Cotton gin. From your research, I see he had other patents. Again, thanks for helping with this article! --Greg Henderson (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
BTW, I was looking at the following article Abraham Lincoln's patent, to see the style and way the patent ws described in the article. --Greg Henderson (talk) 23:43, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Greghenderson2006: I am excited to see an editor starting articles and working cooperatively to make the encyclopedia better! Thanks for adding the article, I will look at the other one soon. Lightburst (talk) 00:22, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

| I rudely did some contribution stalking after you left a comment on my page about the close of this AFD. The reason I did this was because I was impressed by the quality of your interaction in the discussion. I was even more impressed after my rude nosing. If you ever consider running at RFA please do feel free to ask me for a conomination. Anyway, you are an exemplary wikipedian so please accept this token of my appreciation of your contributions.

Review of draft[edit]
Hello Lightburst -- thank for you the flattering invitation to have a look at your work. I've spent a few minutes with it, and here's my opinion.
There's good material there, well-sourced mostly, and it touches on some worthy topics only partly explored in existing articles: Defensin, Leslie A. Lyons, cat genetics, and the 99 Lives Cat Genome Project which has no coverage. (Also this seems to be happening at my alma mater, plus they're running a satellite facility in the obscure little town where I attended high school 327 years ago, so that's weird for me.) I'm not sure that an article focused on Mr. Kaelin would pass a notability test in terms of his personal accomplishments so far. There's a teasing mention in the infobox of his discovery of "a gene that controls weight regulation" not fully explored in the main text but I assume that's feline weight.
My suggestion is, consider pivoting the article's focus to the 99 Lives Cat Genome Project. Most of the text & citations would fit comfortably in that focus, it would tie well to other existing articles, and seems more logical to me. all best! --Lockley (talk) 23:09, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the advice. I will leave it ruminate while making some changes and considering the direction you suggest. @Lockley:

seriously?[edit]
When I saw Joost de Valk article, I assumed it was created by some spammer under "get the founder's article first" strategy someone suggested on Twitter. It's blantant. All the sources used are unreliable. I would have AfDed it immediately if I hadn't seen your name in the page history. Do you actually intended to defend the subject as notable? TryKid [dubious – discuss] 05:29, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi @TryKid:. Still working on the article. Been in a long day of editing. I hope to continue tomorrow, but I have a good start. I feel the subject is notable and I am ferreting out articles - I have some magazines. I hope you give it a chance. It was the third article I started, all from the start of seeing the Yoast article. Two Culture Houses and the De Valk article. Lightburst (talk) 05:34, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
