CCA

Could you please in-line this reference? I think that would be far more useful. Perhaps at the end of the history section. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 15:35, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

  • @Zigzig20s: I moved the link from the External links section to the Further reading section because it's a news article from The Wall Street Journal. I may not get around to incorporating the source into the text of the article, so no guarantees about this. It's also paywalled. However, I did just format the source (diff).

AfD for List of films considered the best (by year)

Hi Northamerica1000, I noticed that you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of films considered the best (by year). I'm not an AfD regular, but I strongly believe there is consensus for deletion. The creator of the article him/herself agreed about the deletion, and the page almost qualifies for G7. What was the reason for relisting, and if there is truly no consensus yet per AfD standards, what should be done? Thanks. (Disclaimer, I am the nominator) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 14:17, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Followup on AfD discussion

I have left you a followup question on the AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MacGyver the Lizard. Thank you for your input. Lizzymartin (talk) 08:22, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

2016–17 Lincoln City F.C. season

Hello Northamerica1000. Can I ask that you consider reinstating the prod on this article. The season is indeed sure to occur, but Lincoln play at the fifth level in a non fully-professional league, so the article doesn't pass WP:NSEASONS. We've already had several AfDs on season articles for clubs in the same league for this season, all of which have resulted in delete (1, 2, 3), and I'm loathe to waste more time with another. Cheers, Number 57 10:18, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

  • @Number 57: Done (diff). Thanks for pointing out those other discussions. North America1000 10:25, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
    • No problem at all, thanks for being open to changing your mind! Number 57 10:39, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
  • I'd like to point out that not all recent discussions about 5th tier (or lower) teams have resulted in delete. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010–11 AFC Wimbledon season. If you look at, for example, Category:2013–14 Football Conference by team almost half the teams have had articles. While there is no consensus that 5th tier teams can automatically have articles, there isn't a clear consensus on deletion, especially for teams that bounce back and forth to the Football League, or have significant coverage that may meet WP:GNG. Nfitz (talk) 23:35, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
    • Just to rebut the above (and I'm sorry this has spread to your talk page but there is a long history to this), but there is a clear consensus to delete based on over a dozen AfDs (the three above plus these: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), whilst a much smaller number (three or four, one of which was deleted at the second AfD) have resulted in no consensus. Unfortunately some editors are unable to accept this... Number 57 23:54, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
    • And some editors seem to want to ignore the AFD discussions that demonstrate that there isn't a clear consensus to delete all these articles, wanting to ignore that some meet WP:GNG. One of the 3 original examples above was deleted on "too soon" argument; another was anything but a clear consensus (and quite frankly, I believe the closer to have been too involved in the debate to close). I believe each article should be discussed on it's own merits. I also believe that it's not clear that these articles violate WP:NSEASONS - the same rule is used to support the existence seasons articles of professional teams were players have other jobs in the off-season in other sports. It doesn't refer to fully-professional leagues, and yet some in the Footy area want to apply it to fully-professional teams in a national-level professional league. Nfitz (talk) 03:11, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
  • It doesn't come across that there's a long-term consensus regarding all of this. Overall consensus thus far may be leaning toward certain outcomes, but significant, well-established consensuses, such as those present in notability guidelines, can take time to form. Another example is WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, which is not a guideline page, but is based upon years worth of AfD discussion outcomes. Perhaps an RfC about the matter somewhere would be in order, to obtain greater community input. North America1000 03:19, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
    • Maybe RfC is the solution. We did discuss last year in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 95#Notability of seasons articles for Conference Premier teams however there was no clear consensus. Part of the problem is a couple of high-volume editors seem to be waging a campaign of starting with the low-hanging fruit, and using that to delete many years of articles that have existed for a long time. And then there was the threat to have me banned from Wikipedia, if I removed prods from season articles, because I think that each one should go to AfD on it's own merits.

Hi. No need for an AfD for Adam McCune. If you speedy it (e.g {{Db-move}}) I can do that right away. Tassedethe (talk) 02:39, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

@Tassedethe:  Done. Yes, this is the better way to go. Thanks for the suggestion. I have performed some of these deletions and page moves in the past, but I overlooked this option for whatever reason at the time. Since I'm involved at this point, I tagged the page, for another admin to perform the deletion. North America1000 02:57, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

NorthAmerica, this may seem a quibble, but the recently promoted DYK hook for Patrick Burris would read better if the word "in" were changed to "on." Is it possible to make the change? Thanks!Dnforney (talk) 17:58, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Draft: Nicholas Jordan

You were the deleting administrator on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicholas Jordan (2nd nomination). Can you please look at Draft: Nicholas Jordan and see if it is an improvement over the deleted draft? As a non-admin reviewer, I don't want to approve an article that was deleted unless there is an improvement. Robert McClenon (talk) 13:43, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

  • @Robert McClenon: The deleted article and draft article are not identical in that the information is organized in a different order. Both contain much the same information, in some instances with exact phrase matches, but not entirely. Some of the differences include:
  • The deleted article did not have information present in the Early life and education section of the draft
  • Information about Finstar differs between the two
  • Content about Goldman Sachs is shorter in the draft. The deleted article had more content.
  • The deleted article had 11 sources. The draft has 18.
  • Content about Deutsche Bank differs. The deleted article had more content about it compared to the draft.
In my opinion, the draft is only a slight improvement compared to the deleted article. North America1000 00:56, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Re:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Schaefer

Hello, Northamerica1000. You have new messages at Rialta's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

We just noticed that the Mark Schaefer page [1] was deleted. We were not notified this was even being considered. After reading the log, this could have been prevented had we been alerted this was about to happen. Sources and wording would have been updated to adhere to Wiki's rules to show Mark's authority in his industry. He is a leading figure who is sought after by Fortune 100 companies in his industry. My question is why were we not notified and what can we do to get his page back?

Rialta (talk) 19:36, 13 August 2016 (UTC)Mandy Edwards

  • Hello Rialta: It's unfortunate that you were not notified about the deletion discussion, but some users don't perform this when nominating an article for deletion. A problem is that per the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mark Schaefer, it was determined that the subject does not presently meet Wikipedia's notability standards (e.g. see WP:BASIC and WP:NOTE) for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Per the overall arguments and consensus at the deletion discussion, I'm not allowed to restore the deleted article under these circumstances.
Can you provide any evidence that the subject may meet any of Wikipedia's notability criteria? This would serve to provide a means for the article to be recreated. For example, has the subject received significant coverage in reliable sources that is beyond routine, local coverage? North America1000 02:50, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
    • Thank you for getting back with me Northamerica1000! Again, Wiki didn't alert me to your response (even though I have notifications turned on in the settings). We are working on getting Mark's accomplishments together. He does meet the notability criteria, we were just not given a chance to update his Wiki page prior to it being deleted.

It's wonderful! You make great stuff! And I always thought there was just one kind of blue cheese. It would probably be best if there were one kind and it was all kept in one place and I was told where that place was and the cheese would have have restraining order to be five miles away from me at all times. But that would be in a perfect world. A world where blue cheese was kept under control. We need more laws. We need the Blue Cheese Act of 2016. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:34, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
@Anna Frodesiak: Thanks. Making the initial list is easy; it's the expansion that takes time. Cheese is awesome. Hey, in the process of performing research for the article, I found out that over 50% of all cheese in South Africa is made in Western Cape, so I added this to the article (diff). So, at least part of your wish comes true, in a roundabout way, I suppose, if you were to move to Western Cape. North America1000 07:43, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors September 2016 News

Hello everyone, and welcome to the September 2016 GOCE newsletter.

>>> Sign up for the September Drive, already in progress! <<<

July Drive: The July drive was a roaring success. We set out to remove April, May, and June 2015 from our backlog (our 149 oldest articles), and by 23 July, we were done with those months. We added July 2015 (66 articles) and copy-edited 37 of those. We also handled all of the remaining Requests from June 2016. Well done! Overall, we recorded copy edits to 240 articles by 20 editors, reducing our total backlog to 13 months and 1,656 articles, the second-lowest month-end total ever.

August Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 21 through 27 August; the theme was sports-related articles in honor of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Of the eight editors who signed up, five editors removed 11 articles from the backlog. A quiet blitz – everyone must be on vacation. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part.

Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk.

VU TANG CLAN Page

Hello,

I am trying to create a page for a photographer I look up to the most and aspire to be. He has been published in Playboy, GQ, Arsenic Magazine, and many other online and print publishing. The page I made for him has been deleted and I was wondering how I would go about fixing or revising it so it would be fine. I had citations, references and was cited from the GQ Wikipedia page.

Please let me know what I can do to create one for him because he truly deserves it for all the amazing work he has done and the people he has inspired.

Thank you Dangcovu (talk) 18:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.191.175.199 (talk) 18:19, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

  • Hello Dangcovu: Neither of the sources that were in the article prior to its deletion even mentioned the subject ([20], [21]). Per the deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VU TANG CLAN, it was determined that the subject does not presently meet Wikipedia's notability standards (e.g. see WP:BASIC and WP:NOTE) for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Per the overall arguments and consensus at the deletion discussion, I'm not allowed to restore the deleted article under these circumstances.
Can you provide any evidence that the subject may meet any of Wikipedia's notability criteria? This would serve to provide a means for the article to be recreated. For example, has the subject received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources? North America1000 01:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Reconsideration

First of all, I do not agree with your assertion WP:BLP1E. There is a lot more to the title than just the pageant. Each (legitimate) pageant generates press coverage depending on its scope, covering the state or country. They usually have a year long title reign where there is frequently coverage of their activities and promotions. Then, most of these local wins result in a second competition, the superior pageant to which they are the qualifying.

Look at:

  • Rashontae Wawrzyniak who appeared, credited in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was quoted in the New York Times supporting Donald Trump after the network coverage for her pageant was cancelled due to his racist comments about Mexicans while announcing for president.
  • Mekayla Diehl look at several appearances on major networks resulting from the Twitter storm about her appearance at the pageant.
  • Penny James Five times on the Playboy cover is certainly not one event.
  • Kiran Jassal While her second pageant has not occurred yet she has done additional modeling that is sourced. I will add, when an athlete qualifies to represent their country to the Olympics, we use that as a cause to generate an article for that athlete. This is one of the major things I do on wikipedia, repeatedly. WP:NSPORT Why should that be different in qualifying for the major event in their realm?
  • Jana Murrell I haven't added a thing to this one but there are multiple items sourced, early failed attempts to win, the win in Nebraska 2005, the runner up a Miss Earth USA, and the subsequent public appearance as traffic reporter for the Omaha ABC affiliate for two years.
  • Guerin Austin In addition to her two pageants (and previous attempts) she received extensive coverage for her work at NESN, particularly the Gatorade incident in June.
  • Shaletta Porterfield The entire bizarre arrest and resignation certainly makes her uniquely notable
  • Alexis Railsback Is somewhat more conventional, she has the local title, the state title, the duties of the state titleholder, including a local TV interview, and the national pageant. Plus she too was quoted about Trump in the Kansas City Star, her quote less overt than Wawrzyniak.

This is a pattern of eight that you could have sourced yourself, instead you didn't apparently notice these conditions or fail to recognize the multiple steps each of these pageant winners take. Yet you ivoted negatively on all of them. And you gave zero keep votes, even in the obvious cases in the same list, you just step forward to another one you can ivote against. I guess it would be pretty obvious I do the opposite. I spend my effort on the articles I can rescue from the obliteration you keep ivoting for. Google research I do WP:BEFORE takes a lot more work than the drive by ditto votes you do. What concerns me the most is the potential damage deletionists like you do to wikipedia. We are a knowledge database. Beauty pageants aren't really important to the overall scheme of things but every thing that gets successfully deleted is knowledge the world loses. If it weren't for people like me trying to save information, whole swaths of wikipedia could disappear. And inconsiderate deletionists are entirely to blame. I say it on my user page. If you don't know about a subject, if you don't know what you are talking about, then butt out. Meaning research first, then act. If you had done due diligence and researched any of the above, you shouldn't have wanted to delete the information (the effect of merging). Trackinfo (talk) 09:20, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

  • I did invite you here to comment about any of my pageant-related !votes if you'd like, but I notice that you have not contributed to any of the AfD discussions for the articles you list above. You should consider posting your comments at the respective AfD discussions. If you do so, it's typically best to provide sources that provide significant coverage to back any claims of notability. Since I have contributed to those discussions, I won't be closing any of them. Of note is that I had already changed my !vote at this discussion prior to your post here. (Addend: Here's another example.) Also, I'm not a "deletionist"; I have actually rescued many articles from deletion via the provision of guideline- and policy-based rationales and the provision of sources in many AfD discussions.

AFD review

Do the sources at Talk:Bentley Systems now meet the notability standard? MBisanz talk 22:28, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

  • @MBisanz: Wow, that's a lot of coverage to wade through. I think I may pass at this time on performing all of the research required in assessing all of those sources, because I'm working on other matters. I noticed the query on your talk page about the deleted article. Perhaps you could userfy or draftify (to draft namespace) the deleted article and recommend for the user to work on it there. If the user feels that the topic meets notability guidelines, they can submit the work to Articles for creation, where the submission can be reviewed. An easy way to do this is to place {{Userspace draft}} atop the page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America1000 07:46, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Sure thing.  Done MBisanz talk 13:01, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Renominated Mischaela Advani for Deletion

The discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mischaela Advani (2nd nomination). I saw you nominated this before so just giving you a notification as a courtesy. -- Dane2007 talk 23:23, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

You're so right!!! I apologize, I misread that earlier! Thank you! -- Dane2007 talk 02:36, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Dane2007 Hey, no big deal. This happens sometimes when I relist a discussion that I haven't commented in and people think I commented. This occurs via a skipping-over of content with the eye, where a user name following mine is missed, or where the brain registers the first name seen, or something like that, or perhaps something else.

Disambiguation link notification for September 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anatolia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lamb. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Juanita Musson

Thank you so much for the copyedits to Juanita Musson. I throw a lump of clay and you turn it into a fine piece. And now you've fired it over to DYK. Splendid! And why did I pound it together so sloppily? I got a bit of Juanita's spirit in me during the stubbing! I could feel her. I'm now haunted! :) I hope her article hits the Bay Area papers and they write once again about her fine fine bisques and glazes. Okay, she didn't really prepare those, but I'm on a pottery thing for some reason. Thank you again. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:37, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

FAC

Thank you for your encouragement on my talk! Can I interest you in a FAC? Sorry, no blue waters, rather dark topic ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:46, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

  • @Gerda Arendt: It's unlikely I'll contribute much to this article. For what it's worth, I added a link to Portal:Music. However, I thank you for the suggestion. North America1000 10:31, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
I wasn't clear, sorry, - I'd like more comments in the FAC, linked from the talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:01, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Gerda Arendt: While I am a music fan, I may not become involved in the FAC process for this particular Bach cantata article. However, again, I appreciate the suggestion. I tend to be more interested in contemporary music, but (as a sidenote) not much for adult contemporary, though... 😃 North America1000 15:41, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

See the table at right for various topic-specific notability guideline pages. For people, see Wikipedia:Notability (people) and WP:BASIC, which is a part of this page that provides basic criteria. North America1000 08:16, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

the name of the article is Omavua Akatugba, i submitted it for review but you declined it in grounds that it reads more like an advertisement. I have made neccesary adjustments, il like for you to check it again. thanks. Kelvinsage1 (talk) 12:03, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Quick question

Hey, how's it going? This is a fairly silly question to begin with, but since you're an administrator I've worked with in the past, I wanted to clarify something with you. I recently nominated my first article to undergo the featured article candidate process, and so far it's been going quite well and I've received phenomenal feedback from seven highly experienced users. As I progress throughout a reviewer's suggestions and comments, I generally strikethrough their text in order to state that whatever request they put forward has been completed; I've done this on several occasions and have never had a problem with anyone regarding this. I have also done so as it seems reasonable, due to the fact that WP:FAC discourages the "done" and "not done" symbols as they can slow down the page. However, a recent admin seems quite upset that I did so to his comments, even though I really did not mean anything by it, other than I had taken his suggestion and is currently displayed in the article. I don't know if there really is a clear, end-all answer, but is this generally considered rude? I truly would never mean to upset anyone over here; this was never my intention. Thank you, Carbrera (talk) 21:58, 13 September 2016 (UTC).

  • Hi Carbrera The short answer from me is 1) if the user doesn't want their commentary struck, then don't strike it, 2) since the {{done}} templates (et al.) are discouraged, you can simply denote progress by stating something such as Done:, followed by any commentary. Upon reading the discussion there, Bencherlite didn't actually seem chapped about it, instead they came across to me as just stating their preference.
