29th and Gay[edit]

Hey, thanks for adding sources to 29th and Gay. I was trying to verify how the books about Shakespeare cover this film and I wasn't able to find anything. But I was a little confused on the second citation you added. You cited page 1045 of Shakespeare Survey: Volume 62, Close Encounters with Shakespeare's Text. According to the Google Books, it only has 454 pages. Is this an error? BOVINEBOY2008 10:22, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I can see the relevant text via Google Books at [1] (about 140 words) and [2] (about 50 words), but Google Books can be very unpredictable about what it actually shows to whom. The page number is as reported by Google Books in the "&pg=PT1045" parameter, but there is no number actually written on the page. The reason this is covered in books about Shakespeare is that the protagonist of this film appears in a production of Henry V. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:51, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I appreciate the explanation! BOVINEBOY2008 11:13, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you point me in the direction of some of the sources you found for Danish Trade Council (beyond the one you added to the article)? There are quite a lot of Google Books and Scholar results, but they all seem to be either passing mentions, citations or publications by the organisation itself. Likewise, Gbooks only has snippet view of the 2006 Worldwide Government Directory With International Organizations, but the 2013 edition clearly falls short of substantial coverage. So I think I'll take this to AfD, but thought I'd check whether you turned up anything I've missed before doing so. All the best, – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:51, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

JPL[edit]

Hi. I've noticed across a few AfDs comments you've made directed at JohnPackLambert about the quality of his participation and suggesting he doesn't do his own research when !voting. I would suggest leaving him a message on his talk page might be a more effective way of expressing those concerns. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:13, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Devi Sridhar[edit]

Your views would be most welcome at Talk:Devi Sridhar. All the best Alssa1 (talk) 16:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer not to get involved in a content dispute at this article, apart from trying to get the parties to talk to each other rather than reverting each other. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:53, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem that I have is that the one person who took issue with the content has disappeared and gave a rather questionable reason for its removal in the first place. I believe there is value in it being present, I'm willing to discuss it with those who disagree and I'm willing to compromise. Would you take issue if I restored it, or do you think I should wait longer? Alssa1 (talk) 00:36, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky[edit]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Chowdhury Irad Ahmed Siddiky. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Scissor Manohar[edit]

I am the creator of this page. Kindly read this Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive320#TamilMirchi TamilMirchi (talk) 18:22, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK. It would be better for you to have made that clear either in the edit summary adding the speedy deletion tag (as you have now done) or at Talk:Scissor Manohar. Many editors don't read the Administrators' Noticeboard, and many that do don't remember everything said there for months afterwards. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:28, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting edit[edit]

Hi Phil, You removed this speedy deletion tag I put on this article: Saeid Eslamian here saying that "much of this is worded factually". Could you please let me know what do you mean by factually worded? It has basically no reliable references, only links to irrelevant websites. The name of the person is only mentioned in one of the references, which is a uni homepage (you could write anything your homepage!). For biographies of living persons multiple reliable sources are needed. Much of this article is original research. I came across this article after receiving an email from a predatory publication. They included a link here too. This is clearly advertising. There are thousands of academics with better qualifications than this person, but I am afraid they do not meet the notability requirements. I even checked the person's papers before nominating the article for deletion: mostly mediocre or predatory publications. Thanks, Pirehelo (talk) 04:40, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You give reasons for deleting this article, which would be good to include in an WP:AFD discussion if you choose to start one, but I do not believe that the article qualifies under the strict criteria for speedy deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 06:14, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, why doesn't the name appear here in the list of AFD articles? Thank you. Pirehelo (talk) 07:42, 29 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Phil. You might be interested in this discussion where I use some of your edits as an example. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:24, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pannaiyar[edit]

I am happy that you are starting it fresh. Previously there was no single citation and full of crap. I hope you will make it better. EruTheLord (talk) 18:48, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not convinced that this is a notable topic, but believe that there are enough sources available to avoid deletion without discussion. You are welcome to nominate the article for deletion at WP:AFD if you can't find further sources, at which point I might, if I am so inclined, look for more sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is pannaiyar is used a social marker to emphasise land landholding and wealth. And is not strictly used by a single people group per se. Therefore I dont hope to find any further citation. However You are welcome to add to the content if you believe there are legitimate sources to back it up. EruTheLord (talk) 15:09, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Phil Bridger,

Just a reminder to please post a notice on the page creator's talk page when you tag a page for deletion. If you use Twinkle, this will happen automatically. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 18:27, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I do not feel obliged to do so when a page is a clear WP:BLP violation, as this was. The important thing was for it to be deleted as soon as possible, without regard to the creator's feelings. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:34, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Phil Bridger. I understand the infobox states that he is a general, however, none of the sources I read refer to him as such, instead using the terms "commander" and "martyr". Additionally, he commanded a battalion, which usually has, at best a colonel, but usually a Lt. Colonel or even Major as its commanding officer, being a unit of 1000 or less men.Onel5969 TT me 21:42, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to say that I appreciated your work on that prod and at AfD. It looks like you meant to decline it but didn't actually remove the template. I just did, after citing another academic source … In any case, I look forward to seeing your name around in future. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 15:10, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did mean to remove the template. Thanks for doing so. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:44, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for sourcing this after I PRODded it. I've now added the coords, and resolved various redlinks, including creating Alem Ketema. PamD 11:38, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
