Re: Question

I wouldn't have thought so. In any case, I don't think you'd be violating 3RR for reverting infobox stats changes, since you're maintaining established convention. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:50, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

List of FC Seoul transfers

Don't Delete - Individual clubs transfer list is also notable. Not notable is just Cloudz679's opinion. I don' understant why do you delet detailed article? Transfer list By nation or Transfer list By club are both informative. As yo u Know I invest much time to write this article. But you want to delete by just your private opinion. private opionion was just 3-4 lines to write 1-2 minites. I really have spectisism on wikipedia. I crated andm improve this article 3 years. But this article can delete by just 2 person's private opinion to write 2 minites. In this manner Who contribute articles on wikepdia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Footwiks (talk • contribs) 03:15, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Malin

Weird one but cant see how it can be a loan if has been released, think the first article has to be the accurate one. When doing the season articles i noticed he was with Elgin but never saw an official announcement.Blethering Scot 18:38, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Livingston did do something similar but they made it clear he would only be released on return from loan. The first source clearly says release, had previous loans but now signed emergency short term deal. That along with the BBC, SKY and other saying released to me comes down to quality of sources. Ive tweeted him as it encourages my curiosity.Blethering Scot 19:08, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Got a reply saying he has signed with them until end of season.Blethering Scot 19:34, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Regular Show Deletions

I note you have added a header to the following pages, stating they are at Articles for Deletion:-
Censorship of Regular Show in Latin America
Censorship of Regular Show in Australia
Censorship of Regular Show in Asia Pacific
However, when clicking on the "this articles entry" link (to vote for deletion) all three of these three pages link directly to:-
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Censorship of Regular Show in Canada
Although you have added headers to these three pages, I can't find an actual entry for these pages in Articles for Deletion - so can't vote to delete these as well.
Keep up the good work - Arjayay (talk) 15:18, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

The three articles you mentioned above were BUNDLED with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Censorship of Regular Show in Canada we do this when there is a number of related articles, all of which the nominator (me) thinks should be deleted. To make it easier for those participating in the discussion instead of having 4 separate discussions. So in answer to your question you were purposely directed to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Censorship of Regular Show in Canada as there is only one discussion for them all. If you read the top of above AfD it says "I am also nominating the following related pages" with them 3 listed. This is standard practise and in answer to the second part of your question were you said "you couldn't vote to delete these as well because you couldn't find the individual entries" you already have as you stated delete all here. You may want to read WP:BUNDLE Regards ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 15:55, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation - Although I can understand the benefits of "bundling", I think how it is currently handled is extremely misleading.

Under Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Censorship of Regular Show in Canada You state "I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:-" but nowhere does it state that these have been "bundled" into that proposal, so that a vote for/against "Canada" is also for/against "Latin America", "Australia" and "Asia Pacific".

Similarly - the average reader of "Latin America" being diverted to "Canada" without any explanation, is likely to have the same response as me - "I'm in the wrong place, where is the deletion discussion I have come to read/comment on".

Don't get me wrong, I believe all these articles should go, but the discussion should be 100% transparent.
Arjayay (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

As I said it's standard practice, here are other examples not by me Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annie Sittauer & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ara-e Gharb Kermanshah F.C. if you go to Lindsay Elston and click this article's entry you are directed to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annie Sittauer. You say nowhere does it state that these have been bundled into that proposal but it does directly under "I am also nominating the following related pages" (which meanings the same as bundled) the three "Latin America", "Australia" and "Asia Pacific" are listed. That's why everyone stated delete all, I've never seen anyone confused over something being bundled, creating a bundle yes but not the actual bundle itself. You said you couldn't see the benefit of bundling, why have four separate discussions on essentially the same thing or in this case 22 separate discussions. If there was one of the four articles which editors thought was notable they would simply vote Keep such and such and Delete the rest which often happens just not in this particular AfD as all the articles are useless. I've explained as best I can your issue seems to be with BUNDLING as whole as you find it misleading rather then my nomination itself as it was created correctly per the instructions. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 17:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

NO, I did not say I "couldn't see the benefit of bundling", I specifically stated "I can understand the benefits of "bundling"". Please do not try to misrepresent what I said.
I am not accusing you of not following the instructions, but the statement "I am also nominating the following related pages" does not "meanings(sic) the same as bundled". it means you are "also nominating the following pages" - you do not say where; here, there or somewhere else - I assumed they were nominated elsewhere, so went to look for them.
Arjayay (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

No point in arguing over semantics (see, understand), I outlined why it's beneficial. Nor was I insinuating you felt I didn't follow instructions. We seem to be starting to go in circles, you just asked above where; here, there, it's in the very same discussion I don't know what you can't comprehend, did you look at the other examples I provided? ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 17:45, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

I think you'll understand it put this way: What I should have said above is "I am also nominating the following related pages" is an indication of bundling and the pages directly below are the ones that have been bundled, the deletion discussion is where all 4 are to be discussed as they are pretty much the same, nobody however went into individual comment as there all non notable so they simply stated delete all. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 18:00, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Duck, thanks but I'm afraid I just don't have the time these days for a lot of editing on Wikipedia. I just saw a few errors on some Celtic pages so thought I'd fix them.

Season articles

Hi. I know you are trying to back off from the season articles but I was wondering if you think you might be able to do a few of the spl ones. Just going to struggle to do them all over the weekend. Blethering Scot 10:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

That would be great. Shall I leave the spl or would you prefer another league. Blethering Scot 13:15, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

If a player was returned to the parent club after a loan ended and then returned again later that would be a new loan deal and should be listed twice. What do you think?Blethering Scot 14:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Was thinking more in the season articles. Can think of two examples so far this season. Blethering Scot 15:46, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Initially Mitch Megginson who returned to Aberdeen but is now back at Alloa. Also in the near future possibly Paul Dummett.Blethering Scot 16:25, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Oh i know its not an extension, Alloa make it pretty clear he went back to Aberdeen. Same with Paul Dummett if he returns as has played for Newcastle. As for that diff it was nearly two years ago so no chance of remembering.Blethering Scot 17:00, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Also you haven't seen a source for Jonathan Tiffoney joining Alloa have you? The only thing ive seen is his picture on the front page of their website[1] saying new signing Jonathan Tiffoney but cant see an article backing it up.Blethering Scot 17:07, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks ill use that.Blethering Scot 17:27, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Daniel Devine

As he has self-identified as 'Irish' (Eire) by expressing a desire to play for them, I'd say that is the correct flag to use. However, what do RS say? If they say NI then we go with that. GiantSnowman 09:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Also, just out of curiosity do you have a script that helps you with categorizing the AfDs or do you manually do it? It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 00:51, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

That's time-consuming :) Perhaps I'll write/rewrite some sort of tool sometime... Maybe. If I do I'll let you know. Thanks again for helping at AfD. It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 01:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

/me writes script: you can just add importScript('User:Fox Wilson/delsort.js'); to your Special:MyPage/common.js. It should add a "delsort" link to the Interaction set of links. Hopefully it will work :) It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 16:36, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

If you're using Vector, it's in the box with "Help", "About Wikipedia", "Community Portal" etc. about 10 links below the logo. It does not appear in the dropdown menu. However, I can set it up to do that. It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 17:21, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

delsort at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Crawford (2nd nomination)

I'm not sure what the basis is for some of the delsorting you did here. It looks like you may have missed the note up at the top that the previous AFD was about a different person of the same name. You may want to re-evaluate some of those and remove it from some of those lists. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

I glad you contacted me directly as I can't possibly have all the AfDs on my watchlist however comments like this are not helpful so I ask you retract. Yes, I seen your note at the top of the AfD before I sorted stating it wasn't related to the previous AfD. However he is fitness trainer from Texas who owns his own businesses hence Businesspeople, Health and fitness & Texas. It also states at Scott Crawford#Career he played for a number of soccer/footballl teams : Texas Toros, Dallas Burn, Dallas Sidekicks, and Texas Lightning so that's why it's also sorted under Football & Sportspeople, I'm not seeing the problem here. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 22:50, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

He was not notable as a soccer player from what I can see, but you added him to three different deletion lists based just on that. Seems a tad excessive considering you added him to three other deletion lists as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:23, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Changed your tuned a bit from saying I think your a little confused to that's excessive, in your opinion he isn't notable as footballer but that doesn't mean I'd shouldn't list a particular delsort that is relevant to the article, so that people who are more familiar with football guidelines can judge it against those guidelines. You said above "He was not notable as a soccer player from what I can see" well given you brought it to AfD you clearly don't think he is notable as Businessperson, should I not sort under that either. I get what your trying to say is it really necessary to delsort under a topic which he is not primarily known as but you have gone about it all the wrong way by first insulting me & then saying he not notable for that. It doesn't look like he passes N:FOOTY, though I haven't checked the teams he played for yet as I wasn't intending to vote but if one of those teams were in WP:FPL there would be grounds for keeping the article so why shouldn't it be listed under Football & Sportspeople given their relevant. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 23:54, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Beeblebrox are you going to strike this given I wasn't confused, nor was it a question. At least then we can agree to disagree that the football/sportspeople delsort was necessary. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:11, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Re: Afds

Sorry about that. I did not file that Afd, but noticed that the filer did not follow the usual steps in filing Afds. I was just doing all that, but should have realized that it must have been added in datewise main log, otherwise it could not get listed in the 'India-related Alerts' page, where I saw it.--GDibyendu (talk) 03:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Michael Doughty

Given the issues with nationality - perfectly illustrated in this example - I feel we should always strive to dab by year of birth, so move the British player to 1992, and the Aussie to 1979. We can then create redirects as appropriate, and clarify on the dab page. GiantSnowman 17:02, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

You should change the templates, and also check for any double redirects. GiantSnowman 17:47, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Life After Deletion

As someone who voted to delete the page on Women Live, it was suggested by a helpful administrator to contact you to request the page be saved so I can amend it in various ways. I’m not sure I’m placing my question in the right place but here goes.

See my enquiry posted yesterday which I paste below:

The Women Live page was recently deleted after a flurry of comments about notability and lack of evidence. I was dismayed by some of the comments and their tone - eg. because the article only had six issues it can’t be notable. I don’t quite get the rigour in that one!! However, another guy made some useful comments which I can’t now find. Is there a way to see the conversation leading to deletion? I have tried to find it.

I would like to reinstate the page when I have carried out the following: regarding notability - I intend to include a link to the Women’s Library where the archive is housed. Also, to a Guardian article about the magazine. Presumably these will contribute to the page’s notability? Also, I intend to list some of the more significant writers published by Women Live - and could link to a few who have Wiki pages. Will this help? Will it also help if I link to writer’s websites if they are not mentioned on wikipedia??

Could you please indicate whether the suggestions above will improve the article in Wiki terms.

thanks. Gillian Young (talk) 11:26, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Douglas (cameraman) (2nd nomination)

Hi Duck,

I tried to list Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul Douglas (cameraman) (2nd nomination) under "news", "television" and "Iraq", but apparently I'm doing something incorrect and lack your talents! Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thank you, Crtew (talk) 01:00, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Hi Crtew, I'm actually retired from Wikipedia but I completed those delsorts for you. You completed step 2 adding the delsort tags but you didn't add the AfD to the delsort page itself step 1, it seems to be a common misconception that if you added the tags it automatically adds it to the delsort page which is not the case, it has to been done manually unless your using the new script by User:Fox Wilson. If your ever in doubt each delsort page lets take Iraq for ex. have their own set of instructions at the top. All the best. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 07:07, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, I really have appreciated some of your sorts, especially about news and journalists.

Whilst I can see where you are coming from regarding his football notability, the guy has a ridiculous amount of press coverage over his move to Man U, in the UK, Europe and in Africa where he is eligible to play for The Gambia.

Thank you so much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markimatix (talk • contribs) 19:27, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Nabil Bentaleb

You have sourced his height from "goal.com" Can you present evidence that this is an acceptable source for biographical info? What is wiki's stance on this? I would have thought only official websites of clubs would count. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.240.5.113 (talk) 17:39, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

Eric Hennig

Hello! I saw you made some edits to the page "Eric Hennig". I've made some edits myself and wanted to see if you agreed with my findings that the actor is notable? I'm new to this and still learning. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!Runner247 (talk) 20:20, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Mea Culpa

I would like to apologize for attempting to delete my request for deletion of John J. Coughlin's entry. Each time I did it, you reverted it so quickly that I thought my edits were not registering. Only when I referenced the history log and read the instructions did I realize I could not delete my request. Anyhow, I wanted to let you know that it was not my intention to engage in an editing duel! Rather, it was a consequence of my neophyte Wikipedia ways.

Thank you for your note on my Talk page. Before reading it, I attempted to post a note to your page with a mea culpa for engaging in an inadvertent deletion duel. When I realized that I was misinformed as to what constitutes a conflict-of-interest, I sought to undo what I did to avoid what is likely to be an embarrassing nomination. Thank you for the information about how to withdraw. As you can tell, I continue to learn the procedure and the appropriate forums for various tasks. I consulted the Wikipedia pages on how long it takes to make it decision about deletion. It stated it is usually about a week. Do you have any recommendations on how to expedite the process? Thank you,LuzanneOtte (talk) 03:49, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

Substantive Achievements vis-a-vis Notoriety

Thank you for the response regarding my question about what constitutes substantive achievements/contributions in a field. I had looked up the information on what constitutes notoriety for various fields, so I have that information. In a discussion regarding the deletion of entry, John J. Coughlin, an editor stated that the page could be made better by providing more substantive achievements/contributions. Objectively, it seems that the entry meets the notoriety prong for the fields to which he is attached. As such, I thought I might be unfamiliar with a more detailed template on what constitutes substantive achievements/contributions. Based on your response and my research, I do not think that I have overlooked any such template. I am going to see if I can find an entry on someone with a similar scope of interests to glean insight from the entry. Thank you for your assistance. I am sure it is annoying to deal with Wikipedia neophytes! LuzanneOtte (talk) 22:53, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

You are correct that I was referring to the first post on the John J. Coughlin deletion discussion. I found several references that help to highlight that Coughlin's work has made a significant impact on his field. Most recently, I added footnote 14 from Oxford Journal of Law and Religion in which Robert Ombres describes Coughlin's work as, "pioneering." The review from arguably the premiere law and religion journal in the world makes a far better case for the unique nature of his work than I can. I do not want to abuse deletion discussion rules, but if you think it would be helpful for me to introduce, perhaps I should point it out in there. If the entry does not get deleted, I will tag it for contributions from experts on the subject to get assistance on contextualizing the content. It is Coughlin's specialized expertise that makes him notable, but the interdisciplinary niche also makes it more challenging to focus. Thanks again! LuzanneOtte (talk) 00:24, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
