Ray Royer

I'm sorry, but I wasn't the one who closed the Ray Royer discussion. User_talk:MBisanz made the decision, so he might be more use to you. Happy editing! HeureusementIci (talk) 01:27, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Smith protection

Sorry; I can't see any inappropriate edits, much less libellous ones. Could you be a bit more specific? ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 11:53, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Dr Who Writers

Hi, aside from the fact that the show is called Doctor Who, not Dr Who, and 'writers' should be lower case, Category:Doctor Who writers was deleted by consensus at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 February 16#TV writers by series because it was overcategorisation. This new category is exactly the same and I am therefore going to speedily delete it. Anemone Projectors 22:18, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh the result was actually to lisify, which is why we have List of Doctor Who writers. Anemone Projectors 22:20, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that was a rude. No chance to debate the issue (Doctor Who has *far* more writes then most series), just a quick put down and delete every thing.

Well, if you like you can go to WP:DRV and request a review, but I deleted it because it had been previously deleted by consensus, which is a criteria for speedy deletion. Anemone Projectors 11:04, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My complaint is the *way* my work was removed and not why. No comments like "Sorry this had been tried before" just a put down about naming conventions and a delete so swift that it's gone before I have change to say anything. No chance of a compromise (like linking the list were its can be easily found) or discussion - other people should not be intimidated out of contributing. If you want to quote Wikipedia conventions we can start with "Assume good faith" Stormcloud (talk) 07:49, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Our speedy deletion policy is very, very clear, I'm afraid. Good faith doesn't make any difference; if an article meets one or more of the criteria, it is deleted, full stop. ╟─Treasury Tag►without portfolio─╢ 08:03, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat, I am annoyed not because of what was done or even why, but the rudeness of the way it was done. Is talking to somebody first so much to ask?

The CSD policy was followed to the letter. There was nothing to ask: what would the question have been? If you disagree with the policy, propose to change it. ╟─Treasury Tag►ballotbox─╢ 10:47, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well let's start with why I thought it was a good idea, which leads on to what's an acceptable alternative. It comes down to compromise. As I say I am annoyed not because a deletion it it's self, but no attempt was made to communicate what was going to happen. All I got was a couple of the high handed about the terminology I used after the event.

I did leave the message here before deleting the category. Anemone Projectors 12:09, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er, the category created 8pm, it still existed 10pm (with no comment) but was deleted by 8am. That's a life time of 12 hours max. So, in your estimation, exactly how long was the message there before the delete button was pressed? Hours? Minutes?

< It makes no difference. I can't make this any clearer: WP:CSD was followed precisely. By the way please could you sign your messages? Thanks in advance. ╟─Treasury Tag►Counsellor of State─╢ 14:24, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realise I had to sign message on my own talk page. Sorry. Still don't think you are understanding what I'm saying. I logged in Monday morning to see a terse message slagging off my editing style and removing all of my entries. I'M NOT COMPLAINING THAT IT'S GONE. Is it so wrong to drop somebody a message first and at the very least explain the problem, you know good faith. 'cos and the end of the day equates to "this is our project and other people are not welcome to contribute" Stormcloud (talk) 15:14, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You either can't or won't understand, so I'm not going to discuss the issue with you any further. ╟─Treasury Tag►sundries─╢ 17:56, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Pandora's Box (Procol Harum song)

The article Pandora's Box (Procol Harum song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references, no claim of notability, fails WP:NSONG and WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
