Been trying to create a page on wiki for two days. It's deleted the moment I start each time. Can you give someone a chance to write and edit before deleting please! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asdos (talk • contribs) 03:05, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Fayez Barakat Page
Hi Nawlin, I see the page was immediately deleted :s but I do not feel the article acts as promotion as suggested? I can remove the website links, but they were only included as the bio template I used promoted the use of external links... Please suggest what needs to be removed? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCAncientArt (talk • contribs) 22:00, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
- The whole tone of the article is that of a hagiography. "The reverend father, as a good teacher, put Fayez to the test. He thumbed through the texts and asked questions of the young man. So impressed was he by Fayez’s answer that he offered him a Fullbright scholarship." Please read WP:NPOV. Also, given your username, it appears that you are writing about yourself, which is not recommended, see WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:31, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Nawlin, thanks for clarification, I'll change the tone. Certainly not writing about myself, Fayez is a friend and we work in a similar field hence the ancient art reference in my name (BC are my initials). Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by BCAncientArt (talk • contribs) 22:08, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
THE KID CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
Hello this article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it is an amazing young artist who has already been signed by a gallery, exhibited three times, been acquired by renowned collectors, interviewed by Carine Roitfeld magazine and the subject of a special focus by the only contemporary drawing art fair in Paris DRAWING NOW held at Louvres Museum as attested by url links listed in the article. -84.97.234.87 (talk) 19:17, 2 April 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.97.234.87 (talk)
- The only sources cited in the article were a blog and the artist's own pages. That doesn't satisfy WP:V. Also, as you can see from the title (as well as the copy of the deleted article), the article was written as a promotional piece (see WP:SPAM) rather than in neutral language per WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
This user, whom you blocked for very sound reasons in 2007, when you, and I and the world were young, has asked for unblock. He appears not to concede that the block was correct, but it is a long time ago and as far as I can tell he has not evaded the block. What do you think? --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:03, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- See my question on his talk page. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 20:28, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- Fair question. As you know, I did stipulate that the block was for sound reasons.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
- To answer your question, looking at his recent comments I have no intention to unblock; I do not see him as being an asset to the project.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:08, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- I tend to agree, but based on his last edit to his talk page, where (charitably interpreted) he promises to make only constructive edits, I'm going to unblock. And watch closely. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 20:40, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey
Dear sir, Why did u delete my Studio page?
- Because it was a cut and paste of Strange Music. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:13, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Did you even bother to check the talk page
Before I created the Conor Butler page, I noticed several other pages before hand, this Conor Butler had over 20 television credits, his youtube channel cited them--TBBC (talk) 15:53, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- I did. Youtube is not a "television credit". NawlinWiki (talk) 15:54, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Youtube no, but that show has been televised and several episodes were put online.--TBBC (talk) 15:56, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- You're going to have to cite a source other than the subject's own YouTube channel, see WP:V. Also, you shouldn't be writing about yourself, see WP:COI. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:57, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
I'll find another source then, but, for the record TBBC, stands for Thomas Bradley Baelfire-Clay — Preceding unsigned comment added by TBBC (talk • contribs) 16:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
BioTrust Nutrition
Hi Nawlin,
Thank you for taking the time to read the BioTrust Nutrition entry I previously posted. I would like to post an improved version of the page with edits that satisfy the Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations page requirements. Any additional guidance you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! HealthFitNut (talk) 16:05, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- If you post a draft in your userspace at User:HealthFitNut/BioTrust Nutrition, I will look at it. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:28, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Nawlin, I've posted a re-written draft in my userspace: User:HealthFitNut/BioTrust_Nutrition. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to review this version and offer insight on how it could be further improved to satisfy Wikipedia requirements. Thank you! HealthFitNut (talk) 19:04, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- It's still way too promotional. Every sentence is subtly shaded to promote the company in the best possible light. Try writing the article as if you're not trying to persuade people that this is a great company. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:10, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for you time and insight, Nawlin. HealthFitNut (talk) 19:22, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, Nawlin! I completely understand the critique, and, again, I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to assist. In crafting this entry, I have been referring to other similar entries in Wikipedia, such as EAS, Labrada Nutrition, and MuscleTech, as well as others in the field of dietary supplements. Many of these also seem to lack the sources to which you are referring...would press releases, interviews, etc., be adequate? Thank you again for your exceptional assistance!HealthFitNut (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Please don't use PR releases as sources - they are not independent, see WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:01, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Critical mass on american river mud island
Hi. I am new here yes, but please help me understand....
I wanted to create an article about a theory that I had created with some buddies.... and my article got deleted for vandalism?
Please tell me why I can't create my own article, I thought that was the whole idea behind wikipedia.........
Thanks for any info you can provide. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cdjordan82 (talk • contribs) 02:41, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, the idea behind Wikipedia is not for people to create articles about ideas or things they made up, see WP:MADEUP. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which means it compiles information that's already been reported by other reliable, independent sources, see WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:44, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- so if I get this info published on a few blogs and facebook, can I create an article? Thanks for the info. Cdjordan82 (talk) 02:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- No, as those websites are rarely considered reliable by Wikipedia. Chris857 (talk) 02:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Help
I am trying to improve WP U2, and I create a new page but you moved it. The former page was unactive. Why don't you remove the former and leave the new one. Just asking. Miss Bono (zootalk) 15:27, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- There's already a page at Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/collaborationofthemonthdepartment - just edit that one. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:30, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- I couldn't make a link to it form here http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_U2/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miss Bono (talk • contribs) 15:31, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- It's already linked from Wikipedia:WikiProject U2/departments - you may just need to put a link to the "departments" page on the main page Wikipedia:WikiProject U2. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:35, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- I thinks it's solved.. thanks!

Remy Hii
The Conor Butler page might not be notable (note I said might), but the Remy Hii page was, SBS is a national broadcast network, it broadcasts across Australia. Remy Hii is playing the lead in a television series broadcast on SBS and I cited it. I also cited his IMDB page, which lists several other work, including his work on another national broadcast network that broadcasts across Australia, Channel 10--TBBC (talk) 13:17, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
- Fair enough, page restored. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 13:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

Muséoparc Vanier Museopark
The Maple Sugar Festival is a very significant festival in Ottawa, Ontario and has been going on for many years. I will proceed with making the page, please do not delete! Herecomestheslaughter (talk) 18:30, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
The Maple Sugar Festival is organized by the Muséoparc Vanier Museopark. This is a museum in Ottawa. I started the page for it the other day, and now I noticed that has been deleted too! I had a good start going on that page. It is absolutely notable!! It is featured in several other places on wiki! Look up the page for Vanier, Ontario.
I know I'm no expert at making wiki pages, but this is no reason to delete a page that should be made! Please help! Herecomestheslaughter (talk) 18:56, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
I realized you are American and it may seem insignificant to you. Is there any way we can get a Canadian admin in charge of this? Herecomestheslaughter (talk) 19:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

King Solomon Seals
These seals are different in the Seal of Solomon is a ring he had that gave him magic powers and these seals were created by alchemists thousands of years after he died to be used by normal people, besides the name really have nothing to do with him.

Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department
I believe RIPSOBA (talk · contribs) has crossed the line into edit warring. I have started a discussion at Talk:Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department and notified the user of the discussion. As an admin who has weighed in on the topic already, can you keep an eye on the situation? I don't want to report to a notice board yet, but will do so if polite discussion does not prevail. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:16, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
Your recent actions demonstrated two things:
- Although you actively use sysop privileges, you apparently are not familiar with WP:revision deletion;
- Like many sysops, you do not understand the sense of WP:CSD and easily resort to making deceptive log records using drop-down menus instead of typing a honest and meaningful explanation yourself.
Have a nice day. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 11:59, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's pretty evident that Nawlin is in fact perfectly familiar with RevDel, but NW, I am mildly curious (after spotting the deletion and restoration of Cat Creek, Montana) - why the RevDel in some cases and the G6 deletion/restoration in others? No judgement intended, I'm just interested as to what motivated your thinking. Yunshui 雲水 12:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- G6 only works well when the page doesn't have a large number of edits. I use it on pages with relatively low edit counts to eliminate the "tagging" that seems to be what motivates a lot of these vandals. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:58, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. That makes sense; thanks for the explanation. Yunshui 雲水 13:01, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you think you could not RevDel Cat Creek-related additions? I use past successful edits as a basis for editing Special:AbuseFilter/58, and edits can't be tested when RevDel'd. Of course, being human, I am always prone to mistakes, so a bit of batch testing is always good. Thanks, King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 11:42, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Yhz1221
Hi, I am Yhz1221, the admin of Chinese Wikipedia. I just noticed that you deleted the article page Yhz1221 on English Wikipedia. The person who create the page "Yhz1221"[1] have committed long term abuse on Chinese Wikipedia, and he frequently create pages including personal attacks. If you see anyone creating this kind of pages again (Including Yhz1221, Makecat, Bencmq, etc), please block related users. Thank you. --WILSON♥VC XC 03:02, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Minor request
Hey NW, would you consider slapping a semi-protect on Google Glass for a few days? There has been some edit warring on removal of cited material, apparently by google-boosters. I'd do it myself but since I've edited the page I don't want to give the impression of misconduct. Thx. Toddst1 (talk) 16:27, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Xhibit Corp
Hi, I wanted to create a page for Xhibit Corp. It looks like it has plenty of notability, based on its web presence. They're important because of the new kind of marketing media they're generating. When I attempted to create it I saw that it had already been created once and been deleted. Is this a "permanent deletion" or can I retry the page and just point out its importance? Thanks for your feedback. ExTwoZero (talk) 05:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Not a permanent deletion, go ahead and give it a shot (keeping in mind WP:CORP, WP:V, and WP:NPOV, of course). NawlinWiki (talk) 19:27, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Wondering if you might be ok with the talk page protection being lifted. There's a user at WP:PERM asking for the confirmed permission because he can't even request an edit on the talk page, and I don't see any actual recent vandalism on the talk page itself. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:30, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Chicken Cock Whiskey
I'm confused as to why the page has been deleted. The whiskey mentioned in Duke Ellington's book and on the referenced menu is the same as today's Chicken Cock Whiskey. The brand disappeared after Prohibition and was relaunched earlier this year with a more modern look and flavors. Can you please clarify so I can get this page posted ASAP? Thank you!

"TV Series" socks
I have taken three users you tagged out of Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of The Deadly TV series, because they don't have his standard cast of characters, and his associated IPs are all in the north of England.
Mega Guardian (TV Series) (talk · contribs) and Mega Delta (TV Series) (talk · contribs) are evidently the same, with names in common and associated IPs in Tampa. I have filed Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mega Guardian (TV Series) as a base in case more appear.
Heavy Duty (TV Series) (talk · contribs) is different again, another set of names, and his IPs are in New Jersey. Unlike the others, it seems from searches that "Heavy Duty" actually exists or existed as a series, though only on Youtube. I'll leave you to decide what to do about this account. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:54, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
- Actually I was the one who tagged the Mega* accounts as potential sock of "TV Series". But considering the comment by DoRD], the Mega ones are apparently unrelated to TV series, so I endorse a separate investigation. De728631 (talk) 17:45, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
