Disambiguation link notification for June 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited House of Assembly of the British Virgin Islands, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Thomas (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hi. Regarding your proposal for deletion of the entry Mohammad Ahmadvand, it should be considered that Mohammad Ahmadvand is a truly good expert in his field because he has had many publications as well as AN INNOVATION in his field. Furthermore, he is also a journalist and a writer which gives him a high stand among individuals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.255.85.69 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Robin Stummer/proposed deletion

Editor LEGIS has made a series of basic but serious errors in his comments supporting his decision to move the article Robin Stummer for deletion. Correct information is widely accessible online. Cornerstone magazine was in existence for nine years, not two, as LEGIS states. It did not "go bust", as LEGIS alleges. It was apparently very successful, financially, throughout its entire existence. Robin Stummer, the subject of the article, is not a minor journalist. He is cited widely across Wiki, as LEGIS should know. The article is not promotional, it is factual. There is no commercial aspect to the article at all, in any way. It accords with and matches closely similar entries for similar journalists which are presently online through Wiki and have been legible for years. LEGIS should retract his factually inaccurate comments, and this article should be allowed to remain on Wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bealey3399 (talk • contribs) 08:48, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Robin Stummer - article editing

The content of the Wikipedia article Robin Stummer is familiar to me, as I am Robin Stummer, and this article is about my work. I have been reading the comments of Wiki editor Legis, and his reasoning for suggesting that the article about me should be deleted. As has already been noted, Legis has made some very surprising errors in his reasoning. In his comment on the article he has published some factual inaccuracies, as part of his rationale for suggesting its deletion. It has been pointed out, in the article and elsewhere online, that Cornerstone magazine existed from 2004 until 2012. Yet Legis claims that it was published for only two years. An astonishing and inexplicable error. For eight years it was a leading title in its field. Next, Legis states that the magazine 'went bust'. There is no source for this untruth. It seems entirely to have been made up by Legis. The opposite was the case, as is widely known. The magazine was well known and highly successful, in revenue and critical terms, throughout its existence. To some eyes it might border on defamatory to suggest otherwise. So, Legis. Where does your information come from about the magazine's financial standing? Would you like to share your 'it went bust' source for this with Wiki users? On my own standing in my profession, Wiki itself carries many citations to my work, readable in existing articles covering a great range of subjects. Further, the article is in keeping in tone and content with existing wiki articles on journalists, some of whom I know well. It is very hard to avoid the conclusion that there is a rush-to-deletion of my article. And it would be interesting to know why. So, would you please inform Wiki users and myself of how and precisely when you picked up that article on me for editing; what considerations came into play during your editing; why you are advocating the censoring of bona fide information from Wiki; how long you spent reading the article (as you have made some glaring simple errors, it can't have been that long). Wiki users deserve some clear and prompt answers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slocbottle (talk • contribs) 13:58, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks both, for your messages. Very quickly:

• • I picked up on your article because I am part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories which deals with newly created articles which have never been put into categories. I read them and try to categorise them (which I did, in your case). However, where I notice other issues in relation to them, I will tag them as appropriate. In relation to the Robin Stummer article I thought it lacked sufficient notability and so I listed it as an article for a deletion discussion. I worked on about 30 articles over the weekend that were previously uncategorised trying to help clean them up, and I think I listed three of them for AfD discussions. I had never heard the name Robin Stummer before yesterday, and I have no axe to grind. I just apply the guidelines in WP:NOT as best I am able.
  • You may be reading too much into the timing. Most articles which are listed for deletion are listed fairly quickly after they are created because of the initial review process. If you take a look at a random selection of articles which are subject to AfD discussion (see: Category:AfD debates) you will see that they are all pretty much newly created articles.
  • Do remember that AfD is a discussion process. It is a not a fait accompli. It was simply my opinion on the basis of review which I pushed out to the wider group for discussion. Unless it is reviewed by a majority others who support my view it won't be deleted.
  • The reference to the magazine going bust was from the source which I indicated in my post listing reasons for the AfD. The linked article indicated that the magazine ceased to be published in 2012 and that Robin Stummer had received a writ from the previous publishers from keeping the website alive. If I made an error, it was a good faith error, and you should feel free to correct it by commenting on the discussion page.
  • I appreciate you taking the time to post on my page and provide your comments directly, but I don't have any more power than any other editor. It is up for discussion now, and you should make these arguments on the relevant page for discussing the deletion proposal and I would encourage you to go there and repeat your arguments. No mad rush - these things take time to reach consensus, but definitely do post your comments.
  • Thanks for clarifying that you are the subject of the article (User:Slocbottle). Can I just very gently remind you of Wikipedia policy on Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia.
