Speedy deletion nomination of PurposeGames
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on PurposeGames 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 web content, 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.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. AllyD (talk) 17:13, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for December 17
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Arlington (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.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:57, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
re: Great job!
Thanks! I don't log in on Wikipedia much any more, so I'm just now seeing your message. (I usually just monitor the RSS feeds for the HEB ISD-related articles' "history" pages.) I saw that you did some good edits, too; kudos on that. I've tried to follow the letter and spirit of Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest, but if you spot anywhere that I might have crossed that line, please edit/fix!
If you're working on any of the HEB ISD articles and you're looking for a picture or a citation source, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can find. Hebisddave (talk) 20:21, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Re: Your note re speedy deletion of article William Drury (died 1558)
Hi Smileguy91,
I got your message re speedy deletion of the article I created this afternoon, William Drury (died 1558). The grounds were that there is already another article on this person. I searched thoroughly before creating the article, and couldn't find one, and the link on the speedy deletion notice goes to a William Drury who died in 1579. There seems to have been an error. I'd appreciate hearing from you. Best, NinaGreen (talk) 02:26, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

- I checked my User talk page just now, and couldn't find a message there from you. Just to clarify further, the other William Drury article is for the Sir William Drury who died in 1579. The one I created this afternoon is for the Sir William Drury who died in 1558. Best, NinaGreen (talk) 02:37, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- Apologies. The reply is there now. smileguy91talk 02:45, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

junior high schools
Consensus is that Junior high schools are not intrinsically notable, unless there is something special, or significant non-local coverage per WP:COMMON and WP:LOCAL. (Blue Ribbon has been regarded as special enough, though not lesser awards) I have consequently redirected several of your articles to the school district to avoid deletion.

Orphaned non-free media (File:ArlingtonHighSchoolNE.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:ArlingtonHighSchoolNE.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Union of the Super Shredder Republic
Hello Smileguy91. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Union of the Super Shredder Republic to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question - WP:CSD#A7 is only for real organizations etc. Regards,JohnCD (talk) 14:19, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Greetings, I don't understand why my page called "Glenda H. Eoyang" has been deleted. I visited a few similar pages (like Byron Katie, Yaneer Bar-Yam and others I know) and learned the rules. So where was I wrong? Thanks, Judy Tal 21:00, 29 March 2013 (UTC)Taljudy (talk)
Hello, Taljudy, your article Glenda H. Eoyang was deleted under the criteria for speedy deletion that can be found at WP:CSD. That means that the page did not have significant content to identify who Glenda H. Eoyang was. If my memory serves, I marked the article under WP:CSD because it had a References section filled with redlinks, which were probably intended to be references, but did not turn out correctly, with no actual content in the page. If you have any further questions, or believe I have acted in error, please contact me again. Regards, smileguy91talk 21:08, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your fast reply. I deleted the references that didn't turn out correctly and still there remained books and articles. Wonder if you saw my editing. Shall I give it another try. I looked at various pages - Margaret Wheatley is one, and saw no difference. Best, JudyTaljudy (talk) 21:24, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Please, go ahead and try! We'd appreciate it! Please follow WP:GUIDELINEs. Just please do not do any test edits and be sure to reference your article to reliable sources. Regards, smileguy91talk 21:43, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion of The Free University of NYC
Hi, as I wrote in my contestation of the speedy deletion, Free University of New York and The Free University of NYC are two completely separate things. One was a from for the Maoist PLP Party in the last 1960's. The other was a one day even that was party of the Occupy movement. Their names are close, but they are not the same thing at all. I went back and did the proper WP:SPLIT process -- I did not realize that one had to do that, as I thought it was only moves that required that. It does make sense, and I completed it.--Theredproject (talk) 23:45, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up, Redproject. I followed the flag by User:MadmanBot. Apologies for the misunderstanding. smileguy91talk 23:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Coldplay's forthcoming world tour
Hello Smileguy91. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Coldplay's forthcoming world tour, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: I see your point, but "being time-sensitive" doesn't fall under any of the WP:CSD criteria, so it will have to go to WP:RFD instead. Thank you. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 07:24, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of the Jazz Professors
You are posting obscure middle school bands and you have the temerity to put a Speedy Deletion on The Jazz Professors a group that is currently number 6 on the JazzWeek charts ( JazzWeek Charts) and has players like Marty Morell and Jeff Rupert who have played with some of the top names in the business over decades? Wow. Please reconsider and remove the challenge immediately. This is not a fly-by-night garage band.

Silk Road
Hi, I am an editor who's been keeping an eye on the silk road Wikipedia page. I saw that you recently approved an edit by an anonymous user that removed the URL. I'm not entirely sure what was going on there, and I do not think you meant to do any harm to the page. But it'd just like to ask that if you are going to approve edits on that page, that you keep an eye on the URL field. The correct, cited value is silkroadvb5piz3r.onion, and vandalism to this field in particular is most of the reason the page is protected. I'm trying to open dialogue about the inclusion of the URL on the talk page, but pending any editor consensus, if you could just not accept edits that change the URL, that would be great. Quantum Burrito (talk) 16:16, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, Quantum Burrito. I approved the edit assuming the peculiar URL silkroadvb5piz3r.onion was vandalism. Thanks for the notice. smileguy91talk 17:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
For future reference, G1 should only be used when the only content makes no sense and is completely incomprehensible. The rule of thumb is "If you can understand it, it's not G1." For articles that just have a single sentence that doesn't imply notability and is trying to talk to the title, see WP:CSD#A1 or WP:CSD#A3. 23:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
editor PTK fixed it.
I created an article "deep plowing" with quotes in the article title. I do NOT want the article title with quotes. I do not know how to edit the article title to remove the quotes. I created an article Deep plowing with the same content. I removed ALL content from "deep plowing" with quotes in hope it would be speedy deleted. Instead the stupid robot tag the page with content. I removed the tag thinking I would put it on the page "deep plowing" with quotes.
I have linked six pages to Deep plowing without quotes. It should remain. It has the correct form of a Wikipedia article title.
Can you tell me how to edit article names? Nick Beeson (talk) 13:35, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

The article Carl Manneh has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:
- All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Tassedethe (talk) 15:16, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads-up. The article has been improved and the template has been removed by User:In ictu oculi. smileguy91talk 21:08, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the template should not have been removed, considering that the sources used are unreliable, in that they are first-party sources and Twitter. I've expanded the article somewhat, but I cannot really expunge upon it further, as I happen to be friends with Carl Manneh and as such, it poses a conflict on interest. Could you perhaps find additional and alternative sources, such as news articles and what-not to replace the current ones? DarthBotto talk•cont 03:52, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- I must agree to that the XFD template should not have been removed as per Wikipedia policy. While looking up sources, I did notice that you edited a Carl Manneh article at GiantBomb. I am continuing to attempt to add new sources to the article before May 28th. Regards, smileguy91talk 15:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Update: The PROD was deleted by another user. Since there are still some reference issues, I reinstated the PROD. I believe that the article is near-properly sourced and I am confident that the article will be ready for dePRODing soon. smileguy91talk 15:26, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hello, do not re-add PROD BLP templates after references have been added, as you did here. If you have other concerns there are plenty of other quality templates, see Category:Citation and verifiability maintenance templates, which do not imply that the article is going to be automatically "nuked" in a couple of days if the template is in place. If you wish to put up an article for deletion again after it has been de-PRODed, the normal procedure would be to go through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Regards, Tomas e (talk) 14:21, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion nominations
I have declined your speedy deletion nomination of Antenna (song) because notability is not the same as "significance," which is needed to satisfy WP:CSD#A7. However, the relevant part here is that the only part of the speedy deletion criteria that can be used for musical recordings is A9, and for that it needs to not just be a non-significant subject, but also have no corresponding article for the recording artist (which there is). Therefore, the article is not eligible for speedy deletion.
Similarly, I have declined your speedy deletion nominations of Gurindagunta. Please re-read the speedy deletion criteria and pay very close attention to what is explicitly stated as eligible for deletion under them, because if it's not explicitly stated, it isn't eligible. For issues regarding notability and other things that don't apply for speedy deletion, please use WP:PROD and WP:AFD.--Slon02 (talk) 17:56, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Cockroaching and other matters at DRN and DFW meetup
Thank you for helping with DRN. They say that the problem with a cockroach isn't that they do so much actual damage, but that they fall into things and mess things up. Am I cockroaching your efforts with the Khan Noonien Singh dispute at DRN? I'm sorry if I did, but I've done all I'm going to do there so just shove me out of the way if I'm in it. In reference to Terra Nova, it's up to every volunteer to make exceptions, but the general proposition is that we won't open discussion until all or substantially all the disputants have made opening statements. About the only time I'll do it differently is if there is such a clear-cut policy solution to a dispute that discussion would be useless and invite further disruption. But it's your call as a volunteer. Finally, I just noted on your user page that you're from Fort Worth. I'm also from the Metroplex and we may be putting together a very informal meetup of some DFW editors in June. If you're interested, see the discussion and drop a note in this section of my talk page. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:43, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for assisting with dispute resolution. You're fine, I didn't find your actions cockroaching in any way. As a matter of fact, I'd like to thank you for your useful input; hopefully it will help the two users come to a final solution. On the Dallas-Fort Worth Wiknic, sadly, I won't be able to attend, since I'll be doing some work at the UT Arlington. Thanks for the opportunity, however. smileguy91talk 23:32, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Wow, I'm impressed. Good work! Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 00:27, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
- I went brain dead overnight. Could I get you to read this essay, and recommend that you follow the advice in the box at the top as well as go back and delete all occasions where you may have done otherwise? I'm going to do a couple for you, but feel free to revert me if you object. It's your call, but I strongly recommend it. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 16:11, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hello TransporterMan, thanks for the cleanup on my behalf. I really appreciate it. The guidance of the essay will be taken to heart. smileguy91talk 17:56, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

What's the basis for the RfD? There are hundreds of redirects to Wiktionary; saying "Transwiki redirect" isn't in itself a reason for deletion pbp 03:07, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
