Protection

What do you mean, "Pages are not protected pre-emptively", what's that suppose to mean? --Archcaster (talk) 13:44, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Jac, FYI this user has chosen to retire after I blocked them for edit warring. De728631 (talk) 14:47, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

User:Influencenyc

Hi Jac16888, the reason I tag this user as promotional is because the user's name is the company's name. Cheers.--I am One of Many (talk) 20:51, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

You tagged the page as spam, which it is not, if you want to report the username then use WP:UAA, although as far as COI users go, this is clearly one of the good ones--Jac16888 Talk 20:53, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
I see your point. The first sentence together with the user name is somewhat promotional, but the stuff he wrote afterwards is non-promotional. I'm not going to report the user name because he has not been around for several years and I agree with you that the name is not clearly connected with promotional content on the user page.--I am One of Many (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
Well no it's promotional, not really. If it was Influencenycisthebest, and the first line was "This is the user page of the amazing Mark Rose, Partner at Influence Consulting Inc., the best company in the world", that would be promotional, what is stated there is fact. And the fact he hasn't edited edited in nearly 4 years means that really going to the effort of reporting him for someone else to block or not is really just a waste of time since it doesn't achieve anything--Jac16888 Talk 21:34, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Stubbing was a good idea! I'm reasonably proficient in Spanish, so I may do the re-translation myself at some point...just a matter of finding the time.WQUlrich (talk) 18:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. With articles like that stubbing or even deleting is almost always a better option. Despite what some people apparently believe tidying a poor translation is considerably more difficult than just translating properly.--Jac16888 Talk 18:43, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

It seems you are not aware of how Wikipedia works. Regardless of who you are the page does not belong to you, any editor is free to make any edits which are productive without having to notify anybody, particularly since you seem to be editing that page with biased content in violation of our conflict of interest policies--Jac16888 Talk 20:06, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to respond. If you don't mind I need a tip on how best to deal with this situation that arose at KRXI-TV. If you look at the last 3 pages of edit history there are dozens of edits from the same editor who is in the 75.15.*.* range, all without edit summary, and mostly deleting then re-adding the same content over and over. Every notice to the (many) I.P talk pages is reverted and article talk page is ignored. Flat Out let's discuss it 21:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

I would appreciate having it placed back on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drittner (talk • contribs) 00:13, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

I deleted it, and just did so again, because A) you have not gone through the proper channels to demonstrate that you own the text, and B) Even if you did we would not want the article as it stands, since it is blatantly promotional and you have made no effort to make it neutral and formatted correctly.

There are 28 references to this article. What are you talking about poorly sourced. This is not promotional, it is a listing of the man's accomplishments.

All of the references are either to Chengs or, as you just admitted, your own work, please read our policy page about referencing which I have pointed you to repeatedly for what we actually need. The entire article reads more like a fluff piece bio combined with a few scientific journals than an actual encyclopedia article. Please read the various pages I have pointed you to on more than one occasion and try again, perhaps have a look at some other "bullshit articles" (perhaps some of those found here) and see what you should actually be doing, it's really not that difficult--Jac16888 Talk 19:19, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of article सीरियाई गृहयुद्ध

Hi! I'd like to know why you deleted my article 'सीरियाई गृहयुद्ध' which I was simply developing as a Hindi translation of the page 'Syrian Civil War' to enable Hindi readers to benefit, too? Was it because I didn't cite references? I was planning to do that once I was through with translating the article. What you've given as a reason is "article that duplicates an existing topic: Syrian civil war". Isn't that what a translated article is supposed to be? Or is there a different procedure to translate an article? If yes, then what? Shalvi Garima Negi (talk) 11:41, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) This is the English language Wikipedia whose content shall be only in English. Articles in Hindi should be written at the Hindi Wikipedia.

Deletion of article "Carmel (Car Service)"

Hello. This is Nir Kabessa, user nirkabessa. I was wondering what I need to do to NOT get my page deleted. It was deleted under the claim of unambiguous promotion. I am not doing this for promotion, I am genuinely trying to create an educational wikipage for the company my dad raised from the ground up. Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hertz_Corporation. They do just as much to promote their company, if not more than I did on mine. What makes theirs stay up and mine deleted? Please give me feedback rather than deleting all my work. Thanks Nirkabessa (talk) 18:11, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

The Hertz page is written ina neutral, unbiased manner and demonstrates notability through the use of multiple 3rd party references.

Though I also appreciate your music knowledge, as I am sure it is as good as your ability to delete pages, this band is notable, and you are not the say in whether or not they are anyways.

Too many deletions based on notability

I think you delete articles too quickly based on what you see as a lack of notability. Your other reasons for deleting (not in English, biased/promotional, etc.) are good, but in my opinion, it harms Wikipedia significantly to delete sourced articles because they don't meet a subjective threshold of notability. On some of these obscure topics, Wikipedia was the best source of information available anywhere on the internet, right up until the point when you deleted the page because you didn't deem it appropriately notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1998:860:1005:6569:A100:AF6E:8808 (talk) 19:49, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Presumably you are primarily referring to Around (album), an article I deleted 2 years ago via Prod (A system where the slightest objection means that it must have a discussion before it can be deleted). Nobody objected to the prod, nor has any attempt to restore the page been made in the two years since there, which seems to me a pretty clear indicator of how important this album is. Please read this page about our notabilty policies, and I would also like to point out that the article in question did not have a single reference or external link, or indeed any content beyond a release date and a track listing--Jac16888 Talk 20:49, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

LERATA Org Deletion

Hello! I see our page was deleted. This is the LERATA organization page.

We are a nonprofit, that has been in existence since 2012.

Under my direction, numerous years of events have been produced.

For LERATA specifically, we launched a project in Chicago called LEVEL this past September.

You can visit the website and go to LEVEL to see more information about this event. Or you can visit the many website that carried the same information, such as Bustler here: http://www.bustler.net/index.php/event/level_2013/ Architecture Chicago Plus here: http://arcchicago.blogspot.com/2013/09/chicago-under-dome-only-through-sunday.html Inhabitat here: http://inhabitat.com/the-level-2013-contemporary-art-and-architecture-festival-kicks-off-this-month-in-chicago/ And numerous others.

We are also planning a city-wide large event in Los Angeles called SKYLINE which is featured on Rhizome here: http://rhizome.org/announce/opportunities/59898/view/ Again on Bustler here: http://www.bustler.net/index.php/description/skyline_2014_los_angeles_new_annual_free_ten-day_architecture_art_and_techn/ Los Angeles Art Resource here: http://losangelesartresource.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/1011-calls-for-entry-3/

Just to name a few.

Our website lists all of the past and current projects here: http://lerata.org/

Do let me know what information is needed from us to ensure the page is active.

You can also visit facebook at facebook.com/lerataorg to see our recent event images/videos/sponsors and more.

We certainly exist - and as a nonprofit, having our name searchable and accurate is very meaningful to us.

You should not be writing about LERATA at all, as you have a clear and unavoidable conflict of interest, which causes an inherent bias.

Deletion of Article "Cam Meekins"

Hi, it seems to me that the deletion of the page Cam Meekins on notability grounds was unwarranted. Cam Meekins is an artist signed to a major label (Giant Records/Atlantic Records) with multiple records on iTunes and other online/brick and mortar music vendors. He has headlined at least one national tour, and recently won "Best New Artist" at the Boston Music Awards. It seems like an article on Wikipedia would be valid for the many people (like myself) who would like to know more about him.

I don't know how the impartiality/formatting of the previous article was, but 1) It appears to be deleted solely on the grounds of notability and 2) even if the article was sub-par, a better course of action would be improvement rather than deletion. Furthermore, he is referenced on his brother's page (figure skater Drew Meekins) which contains third party sources referencing Cam Meekins, and the list of current Atlantic Records artists page, and he's been the subject of articles in the Boston Globe. I appreciate your self-awarded position as the arbiter of notability, but I think in this instance the article should be restored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.64.187.72 (talk) 05:50, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

It was very warranted. A) The page was blantaly promotional ("He also is the coolest person i know"), b) there was no indication of any notability, other than having made a few mix-tapes - none of the things you say above were mentioned, and having a famous brother does not make him notable, and c) there were no references to indicate any notability. I will not be restoring the article, if you think there should be one then you are welcome to use the WP:AFC system to attempt to write one yourself--Jac16888 Talk 12:40, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Obviously having a famous brother does not make one notable, but those other pages do show the article was not an island. I don't have time to write a whole article from scratch, but I might have time to edit and improve an existing one. Regardless, the significance and references exist to make this article legitimate.
Well somebody else will have to create a new one then, as I have no intention of restoring it as it was--Jac16888 Talk 17:52, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Dude, where's my article?

Hi, I created a new article for Ty Granderson Jones. The article was deleted for copyright violation. However, the material I used was attributed, in the public domain, and had no copyright. I rewrote some of the article and and made the source more apparent:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Melwood19/sandbox

Does this cut the mustard (it's my first article, so I want a second opinion)? Melwood19 (talk) 23:04, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

There is nothing on the page to say it is public domain content as far as I can see, you should have just written the article from scratch rather than trying to change copied text. The article itself does little to suggest any real notability, and has no reliable sources or references--Jac16888 Talk 23:38, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
You wrote: "There is nothing on the page to say it is public domain content as far as I can see, you should have just written the article from scratch rather than trying to change copied text."
Check the specific link that I used as a reference in the deleted article. Then check the entire website that the link I used as a reference belongs to. It's not copyrighted. . . it's in the public domain. But I rewrote some of the material anyway.
You wrote: "The article itself does little to suggest any real notability, and has no reliable sources or references"
He was mentioned on other wikipedia articles as a cast member. Specifically, on CB4 and WIGS. However, he didn't have an article like the other cast members. This was one of the reasons why I created an article for him (I was going to create an article and link to it from those articles). How can all the other cast members be notable and worthy of an artlce, but not him? Melwood19 (talk) 00:42, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
I can see nothing on that website to say that it is public domain, not saying it's copyrighted is not enough. The fact that he happened to be in another article doesn't make him automatically notable, references do, of which there are none.--Jac16888 Talk 17:50, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
You wrote: "I can see nothing on that website to say that it is public domain, not saying it's copyrighted is not enough."
I agree with you that it's best to err on the side of caution and assume copyright. That's why I rewrote the article even though there was no mention of copyright on the website.
You wrote: "The fact that he happened to be in another article doesn't make him automatically notable, references do, of which there are none."
No references? Are you sure we're talking about the same article? As for notability, I wasn't suggesting that simply being mentioned in another wikipedia article was evidence of notability. Just making an observation. . .
Melwood19 (talk) 23:45, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Changing a few words here and there is not enough - you should be writing in your own words, and unless the content is explictly shown to be free to use, you can't use it. And yes we're talking about the same article, I see a few press releases and vanity pages - these are not reliable references in any way--Jac16888 Talk 17:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

You wrote: "Changing a few words here and there is not enough - you should be writing in your own words, and unless the content is explictly shown to be free to use, you can't use it."

I didn't just change "a few words here and there". The article is appreciably different than the source. Here's the Duplicate Detector report:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/dupdet/compare.php?url1=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fw%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DTy_Granderson_Jones%26action%3Drender&url2=http%3A%2F%2Ftygrandersonjones.com%2Findex2.html&minwords=3&minchars=13&removequotations=&removenumbers

Even content written in my own words can't avoid using certain phrases (like the names of the films and TV shows he's in, etc.). As for the copyright issue, I already agreed with you in my previous comment that it's best to err on the side of caution.

You wrote: "And yes we're talking about the same article, I see a few press releases and vanity pages - these are not reliable references in any way"

No, apparently we're not talking about the same article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ty_Granderson_Jones). The article didn't reference any "vanity pages". The subject is not an author and didn't pay anyone to publish any book. The article does use his personal website as a reference which is in line with wiki guidelines:

"Living persons may publish material about themselves, such as through press releases or personal websites. Such material may be used as a source only if:

"1. it is not unduly self-serving; 2. it does not involve claims about third parties; 3. it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the subject; 4. there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; 5. the article is not based primarily on such sources."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Using_the_subject_as_a_self-published_source

In addition, the article uses reliable third-party sources like Playbill, Canyon News, the UCSD website, and the Internet Movie Database (who's content is reviewed by a section manager). However, even if the article didn't use any reliable sources, I think an article should be allowed to be improved over time by the editors and not be subject to the arbitrary whims of an administrator per wiki guidelines:

"An article without third-party sources should not always be deleted. The article may merely be in an imperfect state, and someone may only need to find the appropriate sources to verify the subject's importance. Consider asking for help with sources at the article's talk page, or at the relevant WikiProject. Also consider tagging the article with an appropriate template, such as {{primary sources}} or {{unreferenced}}."

You don't have to keep telling me what I wrote you, after all I wrote it. All you have done is paraphrased the content, which still makes it a copyvio. Self published references are not enough to establish notability (point 5 as you noted above "Such material may be used as a source only if...the article is not based primarily on such sources", and the other references provided do not do so either, to break them down: IMDB is not a reliable reference (Wikipedia:External links/Perennial websites#IMDb), the alumni page is self-published and therefore of no value, as his own website, the Canyon news page allows anybody to submit an article as has clearly happened here ("This article was a contribution made by an outside agency or person. The content has not been verified by Canyon News.") it is clearly just a press release, the SAG page is just a cv and the playbill is the only one which is just about passable - and it only mention him in passing. Barring the copyright issue for now, if you are unable to come up with better sources than these I will have to nominate this page for deletion - as it currently stands there is nothing to suggest it belongs here--Jac16888 Talk 21:32, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
You wrote: "You don't have to keep telling me what I wrote you, after all I wrote it."
I keep telling you what you wrote so you'll know what part of your comment I'm responding to. And because you have a tendency of being all over the place with what you write. First it was "copied text," so I rewrote the article. Then it was "no sources," so I pointed out the sources. Then it was no "reliable sources," so I showed how they were reliable. Now it's the source is "just about passable". So I'm obliged to point out that it's not "just about passable," but it is passable.
You wrote: "All you have done is paraphrased the content, which still makes it a copyvio."
The article is not a paraphrase of the source, it's substantially different. Again, refer to the Duplicate Detector report
You wrote: "Self published references are not enough to establish notability"
Only his website, the alumni page, and the iActor reference is self published.
You wrote: "the Canyon news page allows anybody to submit an article as has clearly happened here ("This article was a contribution made by an outside agency or person. The content has not been verified by Canyon News.") it is clearly just a press release"
The article is not based primarily on the Canyon News source, and it's clearly an interview not a press release.
You wrote: "Barring the copyright issue for now, if you are unable to come up with better sources than these I will have to nominate this page for deletion - as it currently stands there is nothing to suggest it belongs here"
Please do. And in the meantime, I'll take this up with the appropriate dispute resolution channels. Unfortunately, the weekend is coming to an end, and I don't have as much time to devote to this. Melwood19 (talk) 23:19, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
sigh You keep telling me what I wrote, and yet you don't seem to be paying any actual notice of it. The issue is not changing, the issue is all of them, it may be a copyvio and the sources are not reliable so there are effectively no sources. But fine, lets break this down:
"The article is not a paraphrase of the source, it's substantially different"
"Ty Granderson Jones was born in Tampa Bay, Florida after his family migrated from New Orleans' French Quarters. He's a protégé of the late iconic theatre director, Alan Schneider, and a former student of the late Lee Strasberg" is extremely close to "Ty Granderson Jones was born in Tampa Bay, Florida. His family moved there from New Orleans, Louisiana. He's a student of the late theatre director, Alan Schneider, and the late Lee Strasberg.". Different enough that I decided not to delete it outright, but still a little too close for comfort.
"Only his website, the alumni page, and the iActor reference is self published"
If you take away those that leaves only the playbill page and the Canyon page, neither enough to support the article
"The article is not based primarily on the Canyon News source, and it's clearly an interview not a press release"
If the page is not based primarily on this, and it is not based on the self-published sources shown above, well there are no sources left. And you miss my point when stating the disclaimer, I am saying that this article is not published by Canyon, it is published by "Contributor" a person who, judging by the promotional language of the interview almost certainly has a vested interest the subject.
I am not trying to threaten you here, rather stating that in my opinion, born of a lot of experience, the article does not currently belong on Wikipedia, unless more substantial references can be found--Jac16888 Talk 19:28, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
You wrote: "sigh You keep telling me what I wrote, and yet you don't seem to be paying any actual notice of it."
I am taking notice of what you write. . . I just don't agree with it. In fact, I was closer to your point of view at the beginning of this exchange than I am now. But the more I read your reasons, or rationalizations, for deleting the article, the less I find myself agreeing with your point of view. (Note: I'm talking about the current article, not the previous one. We were in agreement about the defects of that one.)
You wrote: "The issue is not changing, the issue is all of them, it may be a copyvio and the sources are not reliable so there are effectively no sources."
It's not copyvio. But you're right when you say it's "a little too close for comfort". To play it safe, it should be rewritten (which shouldn't be difficult since it's just a sentence). Though someone already inexplicably deleted the entire section, not just that one sentence.
You wrote: "If you take away those that leaves only the playbill page and the Canyon page, neither enough to support the article"
Of course they don't support the article. How could one or two references support an entire article? One or two references can establish the notability of the subject and support a particular part of the article that is relevant to them. However, only in the aggregate can the references support the article as a whole. As I said in my previous comment, however, I think editors should be allowed to improve the article over time. Placing the appropriate template to alert other editors to what needs to be worked on, or improving it yourself, seems to be a better solution than just deleting it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Third_party#Articles_without_third-party_sources). Isn't deleting an article when the problems (real or imagined) can be fixed by other editors a bit procrustean?
You wrote: "If the page is not based primarily on this, and it is not based on the self-published sources shown above, well there are no sources left."
If self-published material doesn't violate any of the conditions mentioned in the guidelines (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Using_the_subject_as_a_self-published_source), why can't it be used as a source?.
You wrote: "And you miss my point when stating the disclaimer, I am saying that this article is not published by Canyon, it is published by "Contributor" a person who, judging by the promotional language of the interview almost certainly has a vested interest the subject."
That's speculation on your part. And "almost certainly" is oxymoronic
You wrote: "I am not trying to threaten you here, rather stating that in my opinion, born of a lot of experience, the article does not currently belong on Wikipedia, unless more substantial references can be found"
And I value your opinion. I wouldn't have solicited your opinion in my initial comment if I didn't. But, after giving it some thought, I respectfully disagree with it. I wish you'd also value other editor's opinions as much as you apparently value your own. Melwood19 (talk) 16:04, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

G4 deletion of Tekken 7

I'm not sure that your deletion of Tekken 7 under WP:CSD#G4 was appropriate. The discussion took place seven years ago. Surely, the situation for the game may have changed since then. (Admittedly, all I've seen are rumors and whisperings on various fan sites, which would certainly call for a deletion, but not under G4.) WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:57, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Apologies. I was not aware there had been a second discussion only a few months ago. Sorry. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:59, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
The two versions were identical in the sense that both were unsourced fan-speculation with nothing whatsoever to back it up, the only difference being that this time somebody decided to include a long list of made up characters/levels etc. Saw no reason to let this sit for another week so I killed it, G4 was just convenient--Jac16888 Talk 17:05, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

SHFW70

Would you mind assessing more broadly the way SHFW70 was behaving before you commented, and is behaving since you commented on his talk page. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 00:44, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

As a note, SHFW70 has now breached 3rr policy on Basilosaurus with no signs of changing behavior.--Kevmin § 04:47, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Student signatures

I will ask students to remove signatures to their articles as requested, thanks for the heads up. Thanks also for additional resource links. FYI, the students will be working with me over the next week or two to clean up of references, etc. on the "Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan" page.--Patricia W.

EcoMagnesia

Hi! I had JUST written an article which was NOT ready ( article link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EcoMagnesia). this article would be editted in the following days. "WikiDan61" had sent me a couple of messages about my article (that it was not english, that it should be translated / edited to English, and that there was a conflict about Wikipedia policies Article A7 [the reason you`ve deleted my article]). I wanted to write in the following day the importance of this text about EcoMagnesia, but as much as I can see, you did not give me enough time to set everything right. I do not understand the following: how am I supposed to write an article (which was going to be written in 4 different languages without using any translation applications / programs) in one day, OR edit an article in 30 minutes? the imporance of EcoMagnesia is significant. people from the outside would NEVER understand it by reading the text that I have written in an hour (and where I needed extra time). I have read your policy about Article A7. I would like to explain Ecomagnesia at the easiest way to you. EcoMagnesia is a University organisation with a pattented name which is not a student club which have got social activities (if it was a social organisation, then I would understand the erasement and respect your decision). EcoMagnesia is a society of Engineering Students, an organisation that has got a great effect on automotive industries. several industrial firms are in a co-operation with us for productional enhancements, design parameters, ecological production, automotive parts, innovations etc. the importance of this organisation is that it innovates, produces, designs parts that have got a great effect on automotive industries. The following I request is, could you please explain to me the reason of closing this toppic? (if you will tell me to look at article A7 then my answer will be, I`ve read and understood it. but still dont get the point of the topic to be closed). if the importance that I`ve written to you is not the importance that you require, then could you please explain me your request and expection of importance so I can edit it, or understand the reason of closing the toppic better( by the way, the importance that I wrote to you is just a short part of it). I hope that I did not write offensive against you. my only objective of writing this was to understand you better, and by this improving my text. I hope that we can find a solution to this as soon as possible and I hope that the text is not completely deleted, because it was hard to write it.

I thank you for your upcoming answer.

With Kind Regards.

We don't do "Not ready" in the article space, either write the article in English right away, write it on another language Wikipedia or work on it in your userspace. Having a patented named does not automatically make it notable, to show that you need reliable 3rd party references, of which there were none. Finally since you clearly are related to this group you have a clear conflict of interest you should not be writing about it anyway, see WP:COI. I have restored the article content to User:Kaganmeijer/EcoMagnesia, please do not move it back to the articlespace without going through the WP:AFC procedure--Jac16888 Talk 22:25, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

Yikes, and thanks

Thanks for taking care of this mistake of mine. WangsDaringsFun, a sockpuppet of FanforClarl created a redirect on their talk page to the Sprout article. Looks like I failed to notice that when I activated Twinkle, and it resulted in a misdirected warning. Anyhow, I acknowledge the mistake and appreciate your fix.

Undeletion request

I would like to request undeletion of prodded List of MTV Unplugged albums. A majority of the albums have their own articles and sources can be added for the one's that don't. Also, I think conflicting dab pages like MTV Unplugged (disambiguation) and Unplugged are unnecessary. Thanks. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 08:22, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

I have restored it to your userspace for you to work on it, I don't believe it belongs in the article space at this time. It can be found at User:Raykyogrou0/List of MTV Unplugged albums--Jac16888 Talk 14:08, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. I can see now why it got prodded. Do you think it should be listed by artist or release date? Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 17:46, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
No idea, sorry. Someone in the music wikiproject will likely know--Jac16888 Talk 21:25, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
It seems it would be best to list them by release date like discographies. Thanks. Raykyogrou0 (Talk) 04:27, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

United Kingdom of Lunda Tchokwe

I ususally contribute only to the german WP, and found that article only while doing some housekeeping on Commons. That's why I know few about the deletion procedures here. Can you add the correct form of DR? On Commons, the stuff related to that article was already deleted.--Antemister (talk) 09:30, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

WP:AFD has the instructions on how to list a page for deletion where there can be discussion - which I think this needs--Jac16888 Talk 14:06, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Removal of my edit

I added a TV performance to Lance Norris' page for MY TV series he performed on, On Stage with Mantis. Links include: IMDb and YouTube to prove the appearance and date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MantisKhiralla (talk • contribs) 15:25, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't matter, if the article is not in articlespace then you cannot link to it. I should also point out WP:COI as something you should be aware of--Jac16888 Talk 18:35, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Deleted Matt Rockman Page

Hi Jac 16888,

I started a page on Matt Rockman but realised that it was deleted by you. Could you help me with the restoration process please?

If its still facing issues, I wish to at least extract the work done so far so that I don't need to work from scratch.

I have restored the page to User:BinTeo/Matt Rockman, however please do not move it back to the mainspace, instead use the WP:AFC process. I deleted the page because there was nothing to suggest any real notability, particularly the presence of reliable 3rd party sources, of which there were none.--Jac16888 Talk 23:47, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

richard pochinko

thank you for your note regarding inline citations for references. As most of these references have been posted by other editors, i have removed them for examination. I will do whatever is necessary to keep this story alive, i thank you and all of wikipedia, please be patient as i learn to edit within your page guidelines. please advise Nion44 (talk) 17:45, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Of greater concern to me is that the page is completely and as far as I can see unsalvageable biased. Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, and this page clearly isn't, particularly since you have an obvious conflict of interest--Jac16888 Talk 18:12, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
