What business do you have deleting pages from my user space as vandalism? These were my personal study notes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Towers (talk • contribs) 03:02, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @Robert Towers: please see WP:NOTWEBHOST for that kind of thing, viz. User pages do not serve as personal webpages, blogs, or repositories for large amounts of material irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. You should probably link to the deleted page otherwise a swift- or indeed, any- reply might be slow in forthcoming. Cheers — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 09:24, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
- You should definitely link to the deleted page otherwise you don't get any reply at all. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:46, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
I suggest you look at the pages you wrongfully deleted again, as it is impossible for you to discern my intentions for this material. If you must know, I am collecting this information in order to create a new article on Wikipedia. Please restore them, stay away from my pages, and stop abusing your role here. — Robert Towers (talk) 23:55, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Robert Towers: why are you having the same discussion on Premeditated Chaos's, talk page? — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 10:27, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Because all of my notes and article drafts were deleted, several by her and another by this guy. She informed me that I was inadvertently duplicating category links and that is why they were removed. — Robert Towers (talk) 12:31, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- Robert, I am not going discuss any deletions that I may have done until you povide links to the deleted page/s. I would also like a reply to the following question: it is now a year since you did any useful edit here. When can we expect to see you making any use off your extensive fiddling about in user space? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
Never mind. I'll take my work elsewhere. Goodbye. Robert Towers (talk) 20:58, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
That was not a request for deletion, it was a request to leave me alone! You have caused me enough headache, are you done yet? It is not your job to impose deadlines on me or to judge how "useful" I am! All material supposedly in copyright violation was removed. I did not ask you to delete my page. I just wanted you to stop trying to boss me around. That's not what Wikipedia is for, and you are acting out of line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robert Towers (talk • contribs) 00:10, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
- Wouldn't it have been easier to just a) remove the inappropriate category tags and b) add a note sourcing the content to the relevant wikipedia articles thereby providing attribution? Seriously. DS (talk) 01:45, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) What Robert forgot to mention is that his sandbox was called User:Robert Towers/Eat my faaaaarrrrt, and perhaps that's why he avoided the request to link the page he was complaining about. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:05, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes many different naming traditions exist in tech involving delectable tasty treats such as fruits (Apple, Raspberry Pi) or candies (Marshmallow, Nougat) and wishing to do the same, but resorting to gaseous bodily emissions, I followed suit. Thanks for noticing. Robert Towers (talk) 16:59, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Ah... this is starting to make sense now! It must have been my crude attempt at humorous nomenclature as well as my sloppy workflow that caused my article notes to be mistaken for a G3 violation, and subsequently a G12 as well... So much confusion, so much sloppiness. Yuck. Robert Towers (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Robert Towers: Well, if crude humour is your thing, introduce yourself to EEng and help us beef up the article on Dr. Young's Ideal Rectal Dilators. Meanwhile I have restored your sandbox to the more prosaically-titled User:Robert Towers/sandbox 1. If this is a copy of an existing Wikipedia article, it would be best to say so somewhere for licensing purposes, otherwise an admin is likely to delete it again, this time via G12. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 22:46, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- I assume your superb choice of the words "beef up" was intentional and am quite impressed and amused. I would be most honored to receive the chance to prove myself capable of handling such delicate subjects with the utmost sensitivity and precision. Robert Towers (talk) 23:42, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Hi Robert Towers. Another suggestion you might find help is to use the colon trick (no pun intended) when working on drafts which contain categories and non-free content. This will allow you to see the content in the form of a wikilink, but will not display any images or adding the "draft" to any category pages. You might also want to add the template {{Userspace draft}} to the top of the page so that everyone can see it's a draft you're working on. Finally, try and keep in mind WP:UP#OWN: we are given a bit of latitude when it comes to our user pages, but we don't really have a ownership over them just like the articles we create/edit. Most experienced editors will leave a user page alone unless their is a serious policy problem (e.g., copyright violation, BLP violation, etc.) which requires timely action. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:19, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

User:Robert Towers
Hi RHaworth. You deleted User:Robert Towers per WP:G12, but as you can see it seems to have been recreated. It has been suggested on the User talk:Robert Tower#Draft articles that this content might be more suitable for the draft namespace or a user sandbox, but the editor might be misunderstanding what that means. Is there a point in tagging this for speedy again? -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:07, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Payandehnasser
Hi, You have deleted my page under Payandehnasser. Why is this? I reviewed the T&C's and cannot see where this contradicts them. Please can you advise further, thank you. (U5: Misuse of Wikipedia as a web host). — Payandehnasser (talk) 14:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- Payandehnasser, Wikipediaa is not a social networking site. Please publish your bio on FaceBook or LinkedIn. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Shirker
Hi! I'm somewhat new to Wikipedia (as a poster) but I wanted to know why you took down my Justin Anthony page? For reasoning, you put down "copyright infringement" along with this link (http://www.mi2n.com/press.php3?press_nb=166440). While these two people have the same name, it is not the same Justin Anthony. Is there something I should be doing differently to change this? - 12:48 March 13 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirkeab (talk • contribs) 16:46, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
- As long as there was clear copyvio of something, that alone is enough. — SwisterTwister talk 05:18, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
Vembu Technologies
Hi. I want to request creation of an article for my organization Vembu Technologies for which I believe there is enough notability. I don't want to create an article myself owing to conflict of interest. Hence, I just want to request an article and cite sources for it (after referring Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations#Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my organization?). I found that the page Vembu Technologies has been created and deleted multiple times in the past and finally "salted" in 2014. I am a junior software developer in the company who joined recently and I have no idea of what happened in the past. But it definitely seems like some employees of the organization in the past (who are ex-employees now), have tried to edit the page themselves without understanding Wikipedia policies. I would request you to remove the 'creation protection' for the title so that an independent editor shall create an article for it after looking at the sources. — Santhosh993 (talk) 08:13, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
- Santhosh, I applaud your restraint in not attempting to create an article. I hope you read the AfD discussion. Having the title salted is simply not a bar to having a new article: it would be created via AfC and if deemed acceptable, moving the draft to mainspace would be uncontroversial. However I suspect that your company is simply not notable enough to qualify for an article here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Additional information
Upon reading the auto response, the link to the former page is: User:JasmineStarshine/sandbox. — Jasminestarshine (talk) 19:44, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
- So where is the original information to which this is additional? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Apologies for absence
I find to my horror that it is nine days since I actually did any replies on this page. The excuses are urgent changes needed to two websites and being dragged off on holiday for a few days. I shall try not to be so remiss in future. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:18, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
Deletion of IFU
You deleted my article IFU (International Fruit_and Vegetable Juice Association). I want to rewrite the article to show the importance and significance of the subject. — Jan Mathys (talk) 14:31, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your association is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:29, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- What's wrong with fruit? You think you know it all eh ... well I'll tell you something my lad, when you're walking home tonight and some homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don't come crying to me! @Jan Mathys: The article is now at International Fruit and Vegetable Juice Association. It sounds like the sort of organisation whose newsletter would appear as a "special guest publication on" Have I Got News For You. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:30, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Its more like the ietf of juice production and distribution. — Jan Mathys (talk) 14:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Do you have any IQ qualification in Physics?
My page physical exercise with resonance in water is still alive in Wikipedia.es. You delete a translation of my work. By the way thank you because I don't want to lose the copyright of my idea best regards. -- Hugo117711 (talk) 21:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, the subjects studied for my degree included physics. But so what? You don't need a degree in anything to recognise your submission as investigación original. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:29, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
Ding-a-ling
How can I edit my article, when it has called for deletion? -- Dinghanliang (talk) 09:39, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your app is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs)
Sorry, I still don't quite understand this. I'm writing this for myself and not for any other company. This article doesn't exist on wikipedia either, why is the need to wait for someone that think this is not COI then it can be publish? How does this work? Sorry I'm just confuse here. Please speak politely. Thank you! -- Dinghanliang (talk) 06:46, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Roger, I think you called this one wrongly (at least as far as the COI goes). @Dinghanliang: The draft was declined by four different editors before being nominated for deletion and then deleted. The best source you had was this New York Times blog which gives a brief mention of the site a round up. The Daily Mail should be avoided as a source. Unfortunately, the community has decided it does not want an article on this topic, so you'll need to find another article to edit instead. Sorry. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:36, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi, thank you so much Ritchie333 (talk) At least this is much easier for me to digest. Just want to know there isn't any chance at all to resubmit my article for you guys to check again? Before that, I was't really sure about what you guys are looking for, so I keep making the same mistake without realising the main problem. Cause I've already change the whole format of the article and using more site citation that is more to what you guys suggested me to, like New York Times blog. I do hope that I still get the chance to submit it one more time. Thank you, hope to see your reply! -- Dinghanliang (talk) 09:29, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Is there any news? Thank you. -- Dinghanliang (talk) 11:35, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi, just want to enquire on my page Luxy (app). Just want to know is there any chance for me to resubmit my article for you guys to check again? Before that, I was't really sure about what you guys are looking for, so I keep making the same mistake without realising the main problem. Cause I've already change the whole format of the article and using more site citation that is more to what you guys suggested me to, like New York Times blog.

Wright is the author of A Mediterranean Feast: The Story of the Birth of the Celebrated Cuisines of the Mediterranean, a book on Mediterranean cuisine. I made a redirect to that article but see that you deleted it as "implausible" back in January. However, Wright is named, cited, and the details of his book are given in the article. We can't name him simply Clifford Wright as that's a redirect page. He is described on Amazon using the middle initial, viz "A Mediterranean Feast / 2 Dec 1999 / by Clifford A. Wright / Hardcover". Would it be OK if I recreated it please? All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 20:11, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Second opinion
Please RH - Draft:AKtechs? Cheers! — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 09:55, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- As long as an AfC tag remains in place just leave it. If it is left as draft it will get deleted more or less automatically in six months time. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:43, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
I meant the G11 removal. All well in your part of the world after recent events? — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 20:53, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
- I also meant the G11 removal. It was done by another admin so I am not going to start an edit war over it! By "recent events" I assume you mean the 2017 Westminster attack. You may find it hard to believe but I knew nothing about this until three days later when I heard oblique references to it at a meeting and had to ask about them! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for that RH. Don't worry, I didn't want you to edit war over it yet :) just wondered if there was a policy to follow in that circumstance (except, of course to just ignore it... as I did!)
Avoidance of mass-24-rolling-MTV-FOX-BBC-news-magazine-hysteria = a longer and happier life, I think, or hope anyway. Cheers! — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 11:28, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Kinguin article
Hi, Sorry to bother you. I tried to write an article about Kinguin (draft:Kinguin) and you deleted it because it was "unambiguous advertising or promotion".
I am not trying to advertise or promote anything, I am just a frequent Wikipedia user who was surprised that there wasn't an article for Kinguin, especially considering its influence in the esports industry. Unfortunately, I'm not too experienced and submitted the article before it had enough independent and verifiable sources. I was going to edit the article to include more independent information but you deleted it. If you restore the draft, I'd love to edit it to include more information and try to make it sound less like promotion. I'll also look for help from other users on IRC and elsewhere, since I'm a little new to this. Thanks. Arielweil (talk) 23:27, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
- Basically what we accept as notability is significant coverage by others and not the subject or his own websites, so if these are unavailable, there's no notability for acceptance. SwisterTwister talk 00:10, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
Hi RHaworth. Just thought I should let you know about c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Iraqi Football Association's Official Logo.png. This was the same file discussed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 January 24#File:Iraq Football Association logo.png. Not sure what is done in such cases. Do you simply reinstate the non-free version which was deleted? Does it need to be requested per WP:REFUND? I'm only asking since the file may be re-uploaded again. Pinging Explicit and BigrTex for input since they were the admins who closed the two prior FFD discussions (Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 27#File:Iraq FA (logo).jpg and Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 May 21#Iraq Football Association logos respectively) regarding non-free use. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:33, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
- I am sure it can be uploaded here for fair use in Iraq Football Association without further discussion. I have no idea about its use in other articles related to Iraqi national football. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Deletion of article of CarryMinati.
I want you to reconsider seeing one of the pages you deleted. It's an article about Ajey Nagar aka CarryMinati. The wikilink is CarryMinati. He's quite a reputed Indian YouTuber with over 800,000 subscribers and 97M views. I've made already made an draft about him. Please check it if you can Draft:CarryMinati. I hope you read it and make the article available again. P.S. I'm new to Talk page please apologize me any for mistake. Yours sincerely, Prateek Kumar Das -- PrateekKumarDas (talk) 15:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

AfD
Just a note that the AfD discussion for an article you recently deleted is still open. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GNSS FATIMA. North America1000 12:53, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- North America, in future don't tell me about it! Close it yourself! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Does that mean I won't be able to make this article? And when would the article be made (by someone)? Waiting for your response, Sir. PrateekKumarDas (talk) 14:33, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- Prateek, in the highly unlikely event that you can create a decent article about GNSS FATIMA, feel free to do it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Motion (as a principle of art)
Hello good sir i have recently started studying motion in art as an artist. and i even started a blog on the matter
i did not find any information about the matter on wikipedia and started a new page draft:motion (a principle of art) which you have recently deleted.
I do not write wiki articles on daily basis (in fact this is my second one in 10 years) neither am i a native english speaker (i am from ukraine) so i thought it would be a good way to start by collecting some information from other sites (and then citing them as sources) . what can be a good way to find a definition for a new term? (besides citing other sites). could be rephrasing them a good way? thanks in advance, 78.111.186.243 (talk) 19:32, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- Collecting data from other sources is what Wikipedia is all about. But it must be written up here in your own words. "Citing" means providing links not copying text. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:08, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
Sundial cannon
Hi RHaworth. I've restored File:Sundial Cannon by Rousseau of Paris.JPG for now, as it isn't on Commons under the same filename, and a bot had removed it from the article as a result of the deletion. After restoring I can see the link to File:Sundial with motion work-CnAM 911-1-IMG 6459.JPG - I'm not sure if that is the same photo that's been digitally mirrored, or if the two photos are different angles, though. Either way, perhaps it would be best to move this to Commons first to the same filename, then delete it here. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Ah, I see it is a mirrored/photoshopped version, which is disappointing - the original should have been the one shown on the main page, not a mirrored one. :-/ I've now re-deleted it, and created a redirect for this filename to the correct one on Commons. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:40, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
Ah, it was actually File:Sundial with motion work-CnAM 911-1-IMG 6457.JPG, not a photoshop. That was a bit confusing to get to the bottom of! — Mike Peel (talk) 22:44, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Wiki page Avinash Dwivedi
Hello RHaworth, Would request you to highlight the guidelines I failed to meet in the now deleted article titled Avinash Dwivedi. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and would appreciate your inputs with regards to my contributions and articles. I would also like to place a request for restoration of said article. Regards, Wakao wakao (talk) 12:02, 28 March 2017 (UTC)
- Please read this. An article totally devoid of wikilinks stands very little chance. The guy's main claim to notability seems to be his wife but you could not even manage to provide a link to the article about her. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
Need your support with a deleted article
Dear RHaworth, This is regarding a page the you deleted on Feb 26, 2016. The page title was Shiv Darshan and the reason cited was (A7: Article about a real person, which does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject). Below is the link to the page that indicates that you have deleted the page Shiv Darshan. I understand that the article was deleted twice and I am not too sure how the article was written in 2014 and 2016. However, I can now assure you that there are enough links to establish that this person is notable and has received media coverage. Shiv Darshan is an actor and he has a lead role in Karle Pyaar Karle. Shiv Darshan is the son of Suneel Darshan who is a seasoned filmmaker in India. The father-son duo is once again coming with a Hindi language film, Ek Haseena The, Ek Deewana Tha. The film promotion is yet to begin; however, announcements are already making rounds in the media.
I would appreciate if you could either provide me access to write an article or do the needful up on my request. Looking forward to your support. Thanking in anticipation, Amishah78 (talk) 16:21, 28 March 2017 (UTC)Ami Shah
- Amishah78, I do not need "a link that indicates that you have deleted" - you have already given the link. I do not need a mass of ugly, unformatted, naked URLs - it is not me that you need to convince about his notability. If you think the guy has become notable enough since 2004, simply create a draft article via the AfC process. If the draft is accepted then unprotection of the mainspace title will be uncontroversial. I have emailed you one state of the deleted article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
Page deletion
Dear RHawroth, a page I created under the title User:Lawen.Sirwan/sandbox was deleted by you due to (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). I am new to wikipedia and I was not aware that I need to add reliable sources in my sandbox before publishing the page. Is there any way that you can restore my page, so that I rewrite it in a way that it does not promote anything, and I also add needed reliable sources for the information.

Deletion of digital drugs
I was in a long vacation and didn't had proper internet connection to view the changes. I see from google cash that the last version of article that I was created was somehow depleted from valid resources and finally was suggested for deletion. can I have the chance to revise the work? Can I know what are the criteria for "unremarkable slang terminology"? Rajabi.abolghasem (talk) 12:53, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- Rajabi, "depleted of valid resources"! It only ever had one other reference and that cotained only a passing mention. An "unremarkable slang term" is one for which there are few references in reliable sources. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
Salted article
Hello, Could you please de-escalate the protection level on Talk:Jaclyn Glenn? Full protection seems like overkill and I guess any talk page salt also affects the article space because now I couldn't even edit the latter. Don't know if you realized that talk page protection percolates to the mainspace (I guess). (The deletion consensus for Glenn is also weak. I wasn't notified the article I had created was at AfD.) — Mark Schierbecker (talk) 20:58, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- Mark, talk page protection does not "percolate to the mainspace". It is quite separate. The protection of Jaclyn Glenn was applied months before I protected the talk page. Unprotection of the talk page is pointless while the mainspace page remains protected. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
יהודית דורי
Dear R. Haworth, My name is Rea Lavi. I am new to editing in Wikipedia. My draft article titled draft:יהודית דורי was removed due to copyright infringement. I've read the instructions before creating a new article, but I failed to realise that even in draft form (before being published on Wikipedia for all to see) these rules still apply. I intended to use the text as a placeholder while I draft the article offline. Is there a way to restore the article without any text? Or should I recreate an article with the same name? This so I can continue with editing, this time making sure I don't infringe on copyright or any other rules of Wikipedia. Thank you for your time, Best, Rea Realavi (talk) 13:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- Rea, we do not need placeholders but we do need articles in English. So please, either submit a non-copyvio article in Hebrew to the [[:he:Hebrew Wikipedia]] or create a non-copyvio article in English with a title in Roman characters - or both. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
wmflabs.org articles created list is incorrect?
I was just reviewing my articles created on wmflabs and discovered that Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos is listed on it as deleted. There are two issues here, I did not create the article, merely move it into the main namespace once it had more information to it etc and it is not deleted and perfectly well? -- TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
Edit: If this is not the correct area to inquire about this, I apologize and ask, where should I? -- TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:54, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- TheSandDoctor It must be a mistake on Wmlabs's part because the article has no deletion nominations, so no worries. SwisterTwister talk 06:06, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
@SwisterTwister: Is there any way to get them to correct it or should I just ignore it? I am thinking of the future when I most likely will (eventually) apply for New Page Patroller and/or Autopatrolled. -- TheSandDoctor (talk) 15:35, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
- There is nothing to correct! Look at the all namespaces list. On 2017-02-28 21:02:06 you created Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos as a redirect to Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos (Cuban volleyball player). This was deleted on 2017-03-25 14:32:22 by Tassedethe by moving Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos (Cuban volleyball player) to Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos over the redirect. X!'s tool credits you with creating draft:Raisa O'Farrill Bolanos. Possibly X!'s tool could be improved in respect of moves - find them and discuss if it really bothers you. But why should this affect your application for New Page Patroller and/or Autopatrolled rights? Do people even look at X!s tools when making a decision? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:43, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Criteria of deletion
RHaworth, You have recently deleted the page OpenSIMPLY. It is clear that a lot of people essentially want to promote some ideas or projects. My page is (was) dedicated to free open source library for simulation, and I have expected that free product can be useful. So, some promotion for free project is only positive to my mind. But the question is: what are the criteria of wikipedia article for such (free) products. Are there some rules or regulations that would save the time for creators and administrators. I do not think that every-day's watching at a lot of "spam" like my page brings a satisfaction. With best regards, Dmregger (talk) 13:20, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
- The basic criterion is notability. Your advert made no attempt to show notability. So it got deleted. But kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your software is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:02, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

unmetered.io
Deletion of Draft unmetered.io ClearingHouse page. Why was a draft page deleted from Wikipedia: this page has obviously not been completed hence the draft tag was still on it. Professional editors were to complete the work: how come you are deleting drafts before they have been submitted? I can understand your claim that it were advertising: but how could it be classified as such before completion; was there no possibility of adequate change before resubmission?

Professional Editors : publicist and media services from places like fiverr.com
How is it Blatant SPAM if there are countless companies with the same type of pages. How are pages for companies like MaxCDN allowed? UNMETERED is a legally registered communications company on multiple levels! There's even a legal registration for a company named just "UNMETERED" in Burnaby, BC, Canada (not UNMETERED, Ltd or LLC or anything) with a global ASN named just UNMETERED (according to the registries responsible for the fundamental operation of the Internet).
What is the standard between SPAM and a listing for a legitimate multinational corporation like the thousands wikipedia contains (if not to just be one with a few external links showing audited registrations : like how ARIN doesn't assign resources without collecting information)? Heck, the way news articles are these days : plenty of the 'media' (newspaper, blog, etc) links on wikipedia articles don't even work (since they're old/expired). So what is it exactly that you're looking for?
- Major independent news would work, yes, but other advertising existing is not at all a defense since our policies have not only changed, but especially selective. I will especially note we never tolerate blatant paid advertising, as by policy. SwisterTwister talk 04:21, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
- WP:UPE clearly applies in any case. — O Fortuna velut luna 08:39, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
"other advertising existing is not at all a defence" : I wasn't using other advertising existing as a defence, I was using other pages that are active and obviously not considered advertising (or they would be deleted as well?) while extremely similar to unmetered's page (eg. MaxCDN) as a defence... What is the material difference between MaxCDN and UNMETERED's page? "Major independent news would work" so all you want is a new article or two linking to the encyclopedic page? Why is MaxCDN allowed: is this not advertising as well? I was stating "listing for a legitimate multinational corporation" as a defence like the thousands that exist. Surely they're not all being called "advertising", why are they allowed when UNMETERED's page is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.34.26.186 (talk) 12:21, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

awww well that's just a tad disappointing (to see them go) ... but really? Although I see y'all put an advertisement notice up on CloudFlare's page ... but you do realize that picking on the world's builders will just get this place replaced faster ... is that the objective? btw : Microsoft Azure looks like Microsoft is trying to advertise their service, all pages like this should get flagged for speedy deletion right? Just making sure : I love folks who are consistent.
[8] = I think y'all can take the credit there, lol ... [9] [10] I hear schools in Vancouver don't allow students to use wikipedia as a quoted reference source because of how much of a joke it is (why? who did y'all tick off in the past to cause your site and it's content such grief?). I see plenty of pages for movies and tv shows get added/approved : why would y'all rather list fiction than the real world?
How does that affect the validity of applications that use wikipedia as an API data source : getting results of fake things mixed with real things, I guess further processing/cost could sort through it. But is that an encyclopedia or just a rag piece for hollywood parading itself around as an encyclopedia? Something I'll have to think about I guess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.34.26.186 (talk) 20:35, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

That speedy deletion was a bit too speedy in my view. Essentially you were saying that my article didn't demonstrate that Pigs x7 meet the notability guidelines. It would not have done any harm to give me some time to amend the article to meet the guidelines; (which I consider would be easy enough, they are a well established band with two full albums and a split album, not some obscure cover act). This is not the first time I have created a stub article and had it deleted faster than I was able to respond to quite reasonable criticism that could have been addressed with a little more effort on my part. Recently I had an edit reverted because I used text that wasn't public domain - except it was and the site I was supposed to have stolen it from had use the same (NASA) source as me. But congratulations, after these experiences with over-egoed Wikipedia editors who just can't wait to massage their self-image by hitting the revert button rather than giving other editors a reasonable opportunity to correct or clarify their work, I really can't be arsed to make further contributions. — Stub Mandrel (talk) 14:29, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, I'm sorry to bother you during the weekend. One of my very first edited article was deleted several days ago for some reason.

Fustering, further again
Deletion discussion: User:FUSTER1965/Furies: Erinyes, User:FUSTER1965/sandbox, User talk:FUSTER1965/sandbox. Hello, good-morning, my name is Richard Peter Fuster (I'm not a grumpy old man, yet). You have just deleted my work on three separate pages without a discussion. I would like to continue working on these pages. They were in a draft condition (all three) and were work in progress. Can we discuss the problem that you were having with them. I would like to see them again, so that they can be completed. This is a 'request for undeletion', for the pages to be 'restored'. — FUSTER1965 (talk) 04:02, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
Good-morning. I would like my deleted pages to be restored for future reference and I would like to improve the page information. Furthermore, I am sure that the speedy deletion criteria can be absolved, to suit the requirements of wiki policy. Is it possible to begin a discussion process? — FUSTER1965 (talk) 08:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- FUSTER1965, these pages had a very strong smell of using Wikipedia as a free host for your student essays. It is four months since you actually made any contributions to mainspace. Some states emailed but do not repost them unless you are actually going to use them in articles. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:51, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
Good-morning, I'm not a student. I received your e-mail, thank you. The information on all three pages is important for separate articles. My first concern is for the file User:FUSTER1965/Furies: Erinyes. The page is at a point where it is heavy in details, very long, waiting for further additions and a final edit. I would like to improve this page and it would be easier and more convenient if this page could be restored back to an editing space, in Wikipedia, for improvement and completion to take place. When I am satisfied that the article has been completed, I will submit it for approval as an article, for Wikipedia's use. My time is precious, I can volunteer only a little at a time and I have other commitments besides sitting at a PC terminal. However, I will complete this article page, because the information is interesting and linkable with other Wiki pages, in the time available to me. It would be of a great help, therefore, if the file User:FUSTER1965/Furies: Erinyes can be restored back to a Wikipedia editing space. I look forward to hearing from you. — FUSTER1965 (talk) 03:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
