DTRules

You deleted this article some time back. I am the guy that maintains this open source project, and of course I have some interest in having the article in Wikipedia.

In real life I am kind of busy too, and it took a while for me to notice you deleted the article. Then I was busy for a few months with various projects and papers, but now most of that is done. Now I admit that in real life this open source project is a small one. However, all the source exists in Github. SourcePulse builds a commercial product based on DTRules. The jars and the source is available through Maven. There is a forum discussing issues with DTRules that gets a small amount of traffic, but has done so for several years, discussing all sorts of implementation issues and details.

What I would like to do is start with the old article and update some references. Two presentations have been made on the technology at one of the biggest Rules Engine conferences, and one of the longest running Artificial Intelligence conferences. So there are a number of independent references to the project to add now.

Alright, I went ahead and restored the article. Please make sure to add the references you speak of to establish notability of the subject. — ξ ^xplicit 23:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

This is going to take a few days, between work and the holidays and such. Thanks in advance for your patience! Paulsnx2 (talk) 01:07, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Free equivalent?

@Explicit, I see that you deleted File:Tanya Atwater.jpg because there is a free equivalent. I am not able to find one that is clearly free. Could you provide me with a link? RockMagnetist (talk) 01:04, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

It was deleted on the basis that a free equivalent can be created, as per WP:NFCC#1. As the subject is still alive, it is entirely possible for a free alternate to be created. — ξ ^xplicit 01:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

I could request an image from Dr. Atwater, but I have never been sure how this works. If I sent her an email and she sent back an image, would there be a way to document it for the licensing? Or would she have to upload the image herself? I have been unable to find any useful information in Wikipedia help pages. RockMagnetist (talk) 16:27, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

If she agrees to freely license an image she holds the right to—make sure you ask to specify, a short list of possible licenses can be found at WP:ICTIC—you can forward her reply to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, and things will proceed from there. — ξ ^xplicit 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

O.k., thanks. RockMagnetist (talk) 07:26, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sir,

I would prefer an explanation about Phoenicia Hotel malta article being deleted by you.

Kind regards, Ales marketing assistant at Phoenicia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phoenicia Hotel Malta (talk • contribs) 08:50, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Backlinks to deleted pages

Hi, I notice that you deleted International Online Soccer back in May, but apparently omitted to remove backlinks from other articles that linked to it. If you usually do this mopping-up but overlooked it on that occasion, then sorry for bothering you; otherwise, I hope this is a helpful reminder. – Fayenatic London 17:17, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the note, I'll be more watchful next time. — ξ ^xplicit 01:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

What can I say? "have fun"? Best wishes, Pdfpdf (talk) 11:56, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Uhh... what am I getting myself involved with? — ξ ^xplicit 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Alpha Phi SJSU Deleted Article

Hi,

I wanted a more in depth and specific reason to why my article, Alpha Phi SJSU, was deleted — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolegeez (talk • contribs) 20:15, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

The only page you edited that's now deleted is Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alpha Phi San Jose State University, but that was deleted by DGG (talk · contribs), not me. — ξ ^xplicit 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I'm guessing this was about Dolores Creel Miranda, which has since been restored from your request at WP:REFUND. — ξ ^xplicit 04:40, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Please restore

By deleting them you left behind two redlinks in the references in articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs) 18:14, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Wow, those were from a while ago... but, what exactly is being asked to do? Unlink them? Undelete them? If it's the latter, images are not allowed to be used as references, as far as I'm aware. — ξ ^xplicit 23:43, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Cerritos Veterans Memorial

Would you mind having a look at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Photos_at_Cerritos_Veterans_Memorial? I don't see any problem with restoring a couple of files for fair use, as discussed there, but since the deletion was at least nominally the product of a deletion discussion, and you were the deleting admin, I wanted to solicit your views. Acroterion (talk) 21:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I'll review these requests for undeletion later today and continue discussion there. — ξ ^xplicit 23:43, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable images re-uploaded

User talk:Sdmvd6

Hello, Explicit. Three days ago you deleted four non-free images, linked from the above user talk page, that I had tagged as being replaceable. Since then, the user seems to have re-uploaded all of these. Although I am reluctant to re-nominate, I feel that the case for irreplaceability is still rather unpersuasive – three of the images are maps and one is a chart (examples of which "can almost always be recreated from the original data", according to WP:NFC#UUI). On the other hand, the user seems to be quite insistent that the images remain. I was wondering what your thoughts on this might be? Super Mario Man 18:30, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

I have deleted all the images again under the same criterion. There's no justifying these easily replaceable maps. — ξ ^xplicit 01:14, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Can you send "Between Here and Now" to my user space?

Dear Explicit: Can you please send "Between Here and Now" to my user space? In my opinion, this should have gone to the full AfD, to determine whether or not the track listing should be included in Stars Go Dim or get its own article.--Jax 0677 (talk) 09:55, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Done, content moved to User:Jax 0677/Between Here and Now. — ξ ^xplicit 23:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Removing One Media Group and OMG Logo

Hi,

May I asked why the page for One Media Group (OMG) was removed, and thus why you have sent me a message about the logo for OMG which I uploaded.

You are not clear as to why the files/pages have been deleted.

Oliver — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewebguyuk (talk • contribs) 11:55, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

The article was proposed for deletion by another editor with the rationale "Article about an eligible subject, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject." The article appeared to not meet the guidelines for inclusion of articles concerning organizations and companies. In general, Wikipedia considers a topic to be notable if there exist multiple reliable sources of information on the topic, external to the subject itself. The logo has been tagged for deletion as being unused, and will be deleted after it remains as such after seven days. — ξ ^xplicit 23:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Pass a Method/Christian POV on Wikipedia

Thanks for closing the discussion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Pass a Method/Christian POV on Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could also make a decision regarding the redirects that were discussed. The discussion had been closed before as a snow keep, but it was reopened since it was closed by a non-admin who was not able to delete the redirects. Several editors argued for their deletion, and there was no dissenting voice. Are you able to delete them, or will it need a separate deletion discussion? St Anselm (talk) 19:00, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

The redirects were not tagged for deletion, and most of the discussion didn't address these redirects, so I felt that it would have been inappropriate to delete them as a result of this discussion. You are free to nominate them at WP:RFD. — ξ ^xplicit 23:40, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
