Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 12:14, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Notability criteria

Hello Dormantos. I notice that you've written on your user page, " am confused why BLP is the only option to judge notability." In fact, that's not a standard on which to judge notability at all. The standard for notability in biographies is WP:BIO. I also see that after creating an account today, you've commented in a large number of AFD biography discussions. Please familiarise yourself with WP:AFD and WP:BIO, before requesting deletion in a biographical AFD. Thank you. Dai Pritchard (talk) 12:47, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Reply Thanks again for your diligence. I have voted for or against in AFD because I have made some bit of research on article that I vote for. Uncertainly, most of them were simply a stub and sounded like a piece of advertisement so I voted accordingly. I believe Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a Social Network. Thanks Dai Pritchard.

AfDs are a serious matter

Your recent voting history suggests you are not taking AfD seriously and are possibly trying to disrupt Wikipedia to make a point, possibly an opposition to BLP policy. It is not possible to properly evaluate an article in 30 seconds to 1 minute - the average time between your votes.

If I had to guess, I would say an article you cared about was deleted on BLP grounds and now you are taking out your frustration on other articles. At the very least, this account is clearly a recreation of another account. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia in this fashion, I won't hesitate to block you. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:53, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Reply Nope. I am not here for disrupting Project Wikipedia. If you think I have voted wrong against any article you may help me improve. Earlier I believed that BLP was the only criterion for Wikipedia. But after explanation by Dai Pritchard, I am now going through WP:BIO & WP:AFD as well. But believe me I have voted at AFD as per the guidelines. Moreover, I can see you targeted comment at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Suhas_Gopinath. You can freely oppose my points mentioned at AFD. All points mentioned have valid evidences and links associated with it. I don't think it might cause any stress for you to verify my points. I will definitely respond to all your queries. -- Dormantos (talk) 16:13, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
