Speedy deletion nomination of Kate Phelan[edit]

Hello NigelHowells,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kate Phelan for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.  SmileBlueJay97  talk  16:36, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, NigelHowells. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Donny Phelan, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Donny Phelan to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Crazy131 (talk) 16:36, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

August 2014[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm Bahooka. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Mary Barra, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Needs a better reference. Bahooka (talk) 17:06, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy deletion declined, but you can avoid problems like this by including references in the article when you first post it. This one needs some more, independent, references to establish WP:Notability. JohnCD (talk) 20:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A request[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

NigelHowells (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

OK, so I'm on wi-fi that's public here, my hotel's... either way, I'd like to apologise. I wasn't trying to put hoaxes in, they were sourced, and my articles such as Donny Phelan were sourced, not hoaxes. I was trying to help. Americans in the United Kingdom was a constructive edit.

Decline reason:

Both in 2007 with your first edit, and today, you plunged straight into the depths of Wikipedia's appeal processes, in relation to articles (Briefsism and John Bambenek) which were plagued with SPAs and sockpuppetry. Have you used other accounts? JohnCD (talk) 21:57, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again.

Proposed deletion of Weston Green (Katy Perry concert)[edit]

The article Weston Green (Katy Perry concert) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced, non-notable future event per WP:CRYSTAL.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Gavin Neale[edit]

The article Gavin Neale has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NFOOTY. Might qualify for BLPPROD: the one source it has doesn't really seem to exist.

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.

A brief perusal of your edits makes it clear that you are here for the lolz not to contribute in any serious fashion. It's also obvious this isn't your first account. I have blocked your account indefinitely. Spartaz Humbug! 10:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

NigelHowells (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

OK, so I am on my hotel's wi-fi, but I have edited here before, but not as an account (so the blocking admin was right, as far as it goes in terms of me editing before), only IP addresses, see this diff, here and here and my oldest edit. I am from Wigan, but work in the Northwest, did some original research on here back then, but have changed. I am trying to edit constructively. Donny Phelan, Kate Phelan etc. were explicitly not hoaxes, they were sourced.

Decline reason:

The "List of pizza shops" is sufficient enough to uphold this block as nothing but a disruptive account the panda ₯’ 11:29, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am not the "homeontherange" user, I edited from English IPs before now, I'm from Wigan, see, and I was writing about fairly local things. So what if I edit about various things?? Also, loads of people edit from public computers. Two users with things being edited that are the same, doesn't mean it's the same person. I will edit constructively in the future. --NigelHowells (talk) 11:34, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just based on your long "career", I am disinclined to unblock you, and considering the discoveries by Spartaz and Nymf, reported above, there's no way in Hell anyone will grant your request. Favonian (talk) 16:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
