AfD nomination of Brownmark Films

[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Brownmark Films, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brownmark Films. Thank you.

Each relisting generally goes for 5 days, same as the original, though an admin can close the debate early for various reasons. I doubt there will be a fourth relisting, so you will know in a day or two what the ultimate fate of the article will be. Regards, Resolute 21:38, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Throne

[edit]

Indeed I was shocked there was no article on the important subject of Glorified rice. It's a grossly neglected area of encyclopedic inquiry I'm afraid. There are no articles here on seven-layer salad, salad pie or many of the other delicacies of the Scandahooligan (also not an article) nation of the Midwest. I may be punished some day for including an uffda reference in one of those articles, but it was worth it. I doubt I used it right though...

1) Unless you're just copy-editing, you're never supposed to change or delete any comments. You can strike your comments by typing <s>don't strike me!</s>Of course the <s> won't show up, but I'm showing you how it's done.

2) There seems to be some difference of opinion on whether your new vote should go right below your old one or at the bottom. I prefer the bottom because as the discussion evolves I want it indicated that my new vote is a product of that discussion. Just so you know, people tend type !vote instead of vote, since it's not really a "vote", in theory, but an indication based on judgements that is part of a debate. The person who "closes" the debate can weigh the arguments and doesn't have to count votes. Is this more than you ever wanted to know?

3) I try to boycott WikiSpeak in favor of plain English (although sometimes my English ain't so plain). There is a robust use of acronyms and wikiterminology here.

3)If you didn't already know, if you put "wp:" and then what topic you're looking for in the search box you can find policy article pages. So wp: notability, wp: photos, wp: references are examples. Also if you hit the search button instead of pressing <enter> or hitting the go button it searches instead of looking up the exact word. Maybe that's obvious, but I didn't realize it and it's helpful since a difference in spelling or capitalization or terminology can draw a blank.

4)I'm very happy to be appreciated for my tireless work promoting Glorified rice, but that pales in comparison to my heroic contribution to saving List of dodgeball variations, Languages in Star Wars and List of alleged UFO-related entities (which has been carved up considerably so you'll have to look at a version in the history to see it in all its glory). My latest effort in insanity is candies. Also can you get any Polish friends you have to weigh in on the heated debate at the Kishka article? I tried to invoke Solomon's law, but to no avail.

Update

[edit]

Ah, I see that in fact I voted twice on that subject. My bad. I struck my original conclusion. Thank you for pointing out my oversight. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:35, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you familiar with Snickers salad? I'd really like to do an article on it, but it's not in the Lutheran cookbook I have. I'm also concerned it's so implausible that it will be taken as hoax and deleted. Then of course there will be the challenge of finding good sources covering the subject so the article demonstrates notability and be verified. Uffda. Such are the challenges of encyclopedia building. Any thoughts?ChildofMidnight (talk) 17:20, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently snickers salad isn't as widespread as I was lead to believe. I'm sure it will catch on soon... I wrote up the Pistachio salad article only to discover there is already a Watergate salad that seems to be similar.
You're welcome to Seven-layer salad. I'm not very familiar with it, but I think it's awesome. Try to find some sources for it first. You can definitely use the Lutheran cookbook I used for Glorified rice (it's in there along with several other layers of salad), but you'll need more than that as a source I'm afraid.
As you've contributed articles on movie related subjects, I wonder if you've seen Kitchen Stories? Elling (don't spoil it if you haven't seen it! It's awesome)? or The Art of Negative Thinking (a small film but if you like dark humor it's a kick in the ass)? I think you will appreciate them. As a New Yorker, the lack of dialog and action in Kitchen stories was painful to behold. I tell my Norwegian friends that I'm sure the movie will be made into a sequel because there is so much more to be left unsaid... How many Dala horses do you have? Oh and this might make you smile: Ole and LenaChildofMidnight (talk) 01:17, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get too discouraged if anything gets deleted. You can always recreate if there is new news coverage on the subject (or you uncover artices you weren't aware of). The sources don't have to be available online by the way. Also, if you want anything that's deleted, just ask the editor who closes the discussion to save it to your userspace so you can "work on it". That way you don't have to start from scratch. Basically, if there aren't a couple of good sources, it's tough to save an article. Let me know what you think of Kitchen Stories. Elling is better. Take care. 04:27, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

The Seven-layer salad article is terrific. It warms my heart. A photo and more additions are on the way. I put part of an article I found on the article's talk page, as I don't have time to sort through what else can be added right now. Maybe Brownmark will make a Seven-layer salad movie? I noticed the article claims it's a Southern dish, which i find a little outrageous. The confederacy is always trying to steal Yankee glory.

Thank you for your support

[edit]
Unfortunately, my RFA was closed recently with a final tally of 75½/38/10. Though it didn't succeed, I wanted to thank you for your support and I hope I can count on it in the future. Even though it didn't pass, it had a nearly 2 to 1 ratio of support and I am quite encouraged by those results. I intend to review the support, oppose, and neutral !votes and see what I can do to address those concerns that were brought up and resubmit in a few months. If you would like to assist in my betterment and/or co-nominate me in the future, please let me know on my talk page. Special thanks go to Schmidt, MICHAEL Q., TomStar81, and henrik for their co-nominations and support. — BQZip01 — talk

Thanks for uploading File:COLLAPSE Poster small 2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

A tag has been placed on Stephanie Barber requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Poliça

[edit]

Hi Shatner1,

Thanks for your edits to Poliça (and Gayngs also!). You added the pronounciation of the band's name to the article, but I had to take it out again. Are you familiar with WP:IPA? It's a guide to write out sounds. If you look up France, you see this: (English: /ˈfræns/ franss or /ˈfrɑːns/ frahnss; which helps to pronounce it correctly. Now I'm not saying you should do it just like that, but writing it like you did earlier isn't exactly clear to an American, a South African or a Scot (or for a person whose English is a second language, like me!). Anyway, thanks and happy editing. --Soetermans. T / C 16:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:Samwell Heart-Mouth.jpg
