88 films

why did you delete my article list of 88 films releases? how did my article differ from list of arrow video releases? why is list of arrow releases still active? you people targeted me for no reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kn5150 (talk • contribs) 14:45, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

@Kn5150: I deleted the page because that was what I determined the consensus to be at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 88 Films releases. The editors who contributed to that discussion felt that the list was not notable and it didn't make sense to have it when the parent article, 88 Films, had also been deleted. The fact that other lists might or might not exist has no bearing at all on this one; every article is judged on its own merit, and except in certain specific circumstances which don't apply here, it has nothing to do with the person who created it. If someone wants to nominate the arrow video releases one for deletion, they can.Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:56, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

so why was the 88 films page deleted then? it had all the info about the company and its history. had no one deleted that page, my article would still be up right? i broke no rules in my article. i had no links to the films from 88 films for people to buy. it was just a list. it had very good traffic.88 films personally thanked me for my hard work and you took it away from me. i spent hours making sure it was correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kn5150 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

i nominate this article for deletion then. if my work gets deleted then i want this deleted too. this article was no different to 88 films and my list!!!!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_Films

@Kn5150: 88 films was deleted by Drmies following the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/88 Films, where the concerns were that there were no appropriate sources available, it didn't meet notability guidelines and it seemed a bit too much like an advertisement. I'm sorry but the pages just didn't meet the guidelines we have here for what gets its own article, it's nothing personal. You are free to nominate any page you feel should be deleted but you shouldn't do it as petty revenge. Sarahj2107 (talk) 15:14, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

sources??? what the hell are you talking about?? my sources got deleted. they were links to the actual item from 88 films. they were official direct links. then some nutjob decides to delete my sources. petty revenge?? i want you to explain to me what was the difference between my list and arrows list? click the link ive just provided and you tell me? my list has been unfairly targeted from day 1. and no one had the balls to contact me and ask me to fix any problems i may have had. people just went ahead without asking me and deleted my article. revenge?? i havent even started. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kn5150 (talk • contribs) 15:21, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

@Kn5150: I have already explained the situation to you. There is nothing more that I can do. If you feel I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 88 Films releases incorrectly you can take it to Deletion review, but that is not a place to rehash the deletion discussion or complain that you don't like the result. As for the closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/88 Films, you will have to take that up with Drmies. I will warn you now that if you continue the way are here, or carry out any revenge, you will be blocked from editing. Sarahj2107 (talk) 15:30, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

you have not explained yourself in a way that i can understand. did you even look at my article? did you even look at arrows list of films article? or any other list of films articles? they were no different to each other and yet somehow my article is the one that gets deleted.... where is the fairness in that i ask you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kn5150 (talk • contribs) 15:36, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

@Kn5150: As the closer of the AfD, it was not my job to look at the article or any other article. All I did was look at the AfD and judge what the overall consensus of the discussion was. In this case, it was to delete. When I'm closing a discussion, I don't care whether the article should be kept or not; and I certainly don't care about any other articles. All I do is sum up what other editors have decided and carry out the physical act of deleting the page if required. I'm sorry if you can't understand this, but I don't know how I can make it any clearer. Sarahj2107 (talk) 15:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

so you admit that you are doing your job blindly? without actually seeing what has been targeted for deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kn5150 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

No, admins are supposed to have no bais when closing AfDs and are not required to review the articles being deleted as someone commenting in the discussion would. Looking at the article and reviewing the available sources could create a bias. Sarahj2107 (talk) 15:56, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

• Hi Sarahj2107, I'm discussing this matter with the editor. Thanks for explaining matters thoughtfully and correctly. Drmies (talk) 17:03, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Victoria Nixon deletion and Michael Messenger conflict of interest

First of all I, Michael Messenger, want to apologise for making a complete mess, not only of my page - now deleted - but also of Victoria Nixon's (my wife) at about the same time in March 2016. No excuse - no mitigation - I just didnt read the rules before I jumped in, albeit with good intent. As result her page was deleted by yourself on April 08 this year. My question to you, please, is: what can we do to start over and have or not have Wikipedia pages based on the correct tenets of notoriety. Victoria's 'problem' particularly is that so much data that might be considered appropriate comes from the pre-digital era and is therefore hard to know how to reference, when all that exists now are, for example, hard copies of magazines. (Can these be scanned and submitted?) I interfered with good intention but should have kept out of it. More recently, since her page has been deleted, she does have recent suitable material such as current published audio-interviews/newspaper articles etc - which in sum total with what was valid before seems to make a valid page now... I am asking your advice, or from anyone to whom you might refer, as I am scared of putting a foot wrong again!

PS I originally sent this dialogue to Cirt, who welcomed me to Wikipedia but he seems to have gone silent...

Regards

Messengero Messengero (talk) 11:58, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Messengero, thank you for understanding and respecting the policies and guidelines we have here.The deletion discussion for Victoria's page was an interesting one, most commenters agreed that she ought to be notable given background and achievements, but there weren't enough sources to prove it per Wikipedia's guidelines. If you can provide off-line sources to use that would be a good start in trying to get the page recreated. These would need to be third-party, reliable sources that talk about her in detail. There is already a draft at Draft:Victoria Nixon so you should probably work on improving that on, rather than starting a new one. It can then be resubmitted for review. If you do this, it would be best to leave a note on the talk page stating your conflict of interest. You also might want to read the policy on biographies of living people if you haven't already. If you need any help, just let me know. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:01, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

XgenPlus Enterprise Email

Sir, I want to know why my page with the title "XgenPlus Enterprise Email" has been deleted as I have given all the valid citations in this page. I have written, what I have heard in the news and read in the newspapers. The world should know that it is the only email service provider that is offering email address in regional languages (World's first IDN complaint email service provider). As per my knowledge I have followed each and every guideline of wikipedia. I think by mistake my page has been deleted or if you think that I have broken any policy or rule of wikipedia then please let me know and guide me.Jaisskaur (talk) 05:51, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) It wasn't "deleted by accident", it was deleted after a community discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XgenPlus Enterprise Email. Joseph2302 07:30, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi Jaisskaur, apologies for the delay in answering you. As Joseph has said above, the page was deleted after consensus was reached to do so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/XgenPlus Enterprise Email. The main concern was that it was too promotional, so you should make sure you have read the guidelines on spam and promotional content and what Wikipedia is Not before creating any more articles. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

hi, thanks Got the point can you please allow me to do changes so page can be live again — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaisskaur (talk • contribs) 09:09, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Sesan. Congratulations on having accomplished so much at such a young age; good for you. Here at Wikipedia we have noteability guidelines that we use to determine if subjects should have their own article or not. The relevant one in your case is Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Creative professionals, which the participants of the deletion discussion (at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sesan Kareem) determined you did not meet; the number of books published and your perceived impact of "thousands of life" are not enough. No one is automatically entitled to a Wikipedia page just because they think they deserve one, and it is not a matter of paying one's dues. There would need to be significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources, or evidence that one of the criteria at WP:AUTHOR are met, in order for the article to be restored. That isn't the case at the moment. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:14, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krissia Beatty

• From the essay Wikipedia:Arguments to make in deletion discussions, with one sentence bolded:

===Wikipedia policies and guidelines=== Keep: Per ThisPolicy, which states in these exact words that an article like this is perfectly acceptable. PolicyFavorsKeeping (talk) Delete: Per ThisPolicy, which states in these exact words that this type of article does not belong. PolicyFavorsDeleting (talk) An AfD discussion is not a vote. It is a discussion of whether policies (and broadly accepted guidelines, such as many of the topic-specific notability guidelines) allow or disallow the type of article. Referencing policies, and where appropriate, guidelines is what will make or break it. Even if ten editors state an article should be deleted, and one editor states the article should be kept, but the one who wants it kept gives a good argument citing policy, while the other ten give none, this is sufficient grounds for keeping an article. In the case of guidelines, which carry less weight, it may be less clear cut, but basically the more support an argument has from well-accepted guidelines that reflect Wikipedia community consensus, the more likely it is to prevail. When you make your comment on an AfD board, familiarize yourself with as many Wikipedia policies and guidelines as possible. There are so many, it may take time to know them all. Keep in mind that what you are saying is not a vote, and without citing one or more policies and/or guidelines, agreeing with someone else's citation of a policy, or rebutting someone else's citation of a policy, your comments will have little if any weight against the consensus formed by others and the decision make by the closing admin.

By all means disagree, but it appears to me that the close at Krissia Beatty was a !vote count.  Do you agree?  If not, how is this not a !vote count?  Unscintillating (talk) 01:08, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

No I do not agree that I !vote counted. We had a similar discussion on this matter before so I'm not going to waste my time again by getting into a long discussion on this AfD. I will repeat what I told you last time; If you think I closed the AfD incorrectly, take it to WP:DRV. If you think I am incapable of closing any AfD correctly and should not be doing so, take it to WP:ANI. I will warn you though, making serious allegations of editing in bad faith or deliberately disregarding policies, as you have done here, without providing substantial evidence to prove it, is a personal attack. If you continue to do that I will take the matter to ANI. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:04, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

I'm not interested in the escalations.  Please answer the question.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:23, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

This article is still creation protected and given the history I'm not going to unprotected it without consensus to allow recreation. I have no comment on the sources above but if you think notability has improved since we last spoke two months ago, what you need to do is create a draft and then go to deletion review to see if there is consensus to allow recreation at this point.

Speedy deletion declined: Phurbu T Namgyal

Hello Sarahj2107. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Phurbu T Namgyal, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: leading Tibetan singer is an assertion of importance sufficient to preclude A7, though I have my doubts as to the higher standard at AFD.

ESO (BAND) page deletion

Hello Sarah!

My name is Luke, I play drums for a UK rock band called ESO (formerly known as esOterica) and this post relates to the Wikipedia page for the same group.

I notice you recently deleted the page describing our band - there was some discussion on the articles for deletion page about whether the page was 'notable' and whether or not it was 'promotional'.

I wanted to offer some assistance if I may to help clarify - to be perfectly honest, I'm not absolutely sure what the community considers notable or promotional, but I may be able to help furnish you with information, sources and facts that could help you reach a more informed decision.

Firstly; is it 'promotional'? Well, I believe the page was created by one of the people that (for reasons I still don't really understand) likes our music - I suspect not for promotional reasons, but I can't tell you for sure. Although I love Wikipedia and there's a warm fuzzy feeling you get from seeing something you created acknowledged there - it's not a place we would go to for promotion (that's usually Facebook and YouTube these days).

Secondly, with regard to notability - I don't know what constitutes that, or how you would provide 'evidence' for it exactly - but there are some things I can tell you that are true that I'm proud of related to our little band:

- We did two European arena tours supporting the well known US act Marilyn Manson (quite a bit of evidence and video supporting that one, just Google "Esoterica" or "ESO" and "marilyn manson" together) - We were signed to the US label Bieler Bros records (home to some other rock bands who do alright: Skindred, Sikth etc...) - http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/esoterica-signs-with-bieler-bros-records/ - We've been lucky enough to record three albums with some really top class producers (we even mastered one at Abbey Road!) - https://www.discogs.com/Esoterica-The-Fool/release/1861046 - We supported a well known Finnish band called "HIM" at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, which you can see for yourself here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YvB5VE18JI - We performed live on national television and radio in Spain (that was awesome - absolutely no evidence I think - but I promise that was real and it happened, which is totally not a verifiable source, I know, I know) - We played at loads of really big festivals. My favourite was Download Festival, which we did two years running in Donnington Park - you can see our name on the poster here - http://downloadfestival.co.uk/sites/live.c.downloadfestival.co.uk/files/2009poster.jpg - We got played more times that I can remember on National radio in the UK - Specifically Radio 1 (but also Radio 2, XFM and BBC 6 Music) - here's some links: http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/5c30b393-fab6-4c40-85a7-71e72fe7c390 http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/cfb42d28-1cd6-4e37-8f0b-1379f5ae139c

Please do let me know if this helps to get the page reinstated.

If not, no worries, but it would be cool to see it back :-)

Lots of love,

Luke.

comment added by Lukekeast (talk • contribs) 22:39, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Luke. Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been taking a break over the holidays. The main reason the page was deleted was for not meeting the notability guidelines, but promotion was brought up in the discussion so I'll deal with that first. When people on Wikipedia say something is promotional it doesn't always mean that it was created with the sole intention to promote something. This term also covers content created by well-meaning editors who don't realise that we have a specific, neutral tone here and end up writing the way they would be used to seeing in places like Facebook, the official websites and some Newspapers/Magazines, which is too promotional in tone for us. I think that was the case here. I don't think it was too bad in this case and could have been fixed with some copy editing.

The main reason for deletion was failure to meet notability guidelines. I know it can be confusing to people that don't regularly edit here but when something here is described as not notable, they mean that the subject doesn't meet our specific guidelines on notability. In this case, the relevant ones are the General Notability Guidelines (GNG) and the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles (BAND). GNG requires significant coverage in reliable, third party sources and BAND requires that at least one of the criteria listed in the linked page are met. Only one of these needs to be met. In this case neither seem to be met as Wikipedia doesn't count any of your achievements as evidence of evidence of Notability, and unfortunately the links you provided don't have enough in-depth coverage. If you have any evidence of meeting any of the criteria listed in BAND for example proof that your music is on rotation on Radio 1, 2, 6 Music etc., or proof that a single or album has charted, let me know and I will look into it again.

Your band seems to be doing well and hopefully you will meet the notability criteria in the near future. If that happens then I will be happy for it to be recreated.

If you have any further questions, just let me know and I'll try my best to help. Regards, Sarahj2107 (talk)

FFC Functional Food Definition Retrieval

Hi,

I’m an internship student with Functional Food Center. The reason I am contacting you is because I was wondering if it were possible for the recently deleted “ffc functional food definition” to be restored or temporarily viewed. The content on that page had some information that was copyrighted by FFC and I would like to retrieve it. Since there are some citations that were used in the wikipage, I would have to review the article because we are planning on moving the article away from wikipedia and publishing it on FFC’s website. According to this wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Viewing_and_restoring_deleted_pages#Viewing_a_list_of_recent_page_deletions), this is a valid reason for temporarily restoring the page. The only other reason as to why the content must be temporarily viewed is because I had made a few edits to the wikipage while it was still running and made the mistake of not saving the content on an external document. Alternatively, maybe you could provide a copy of the article with all of its exact content to avoid having the wikipage be restored and open to the public. 24.23.239.124 (talk) 03:41, 24 December 2016 (UTC)Bryansingharaj

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding. If the page contained copyrighted material, I can't restore it. The relevant policy is Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Access to deleted pages, which states "Note that these requests are likely to be denied if the content has been deleted on legal grounds (such as defamation or copyright violation)". Although the page wasn't deleted for this reason, if you are now saying that it contains copyright violating material (which a quick google search seems to confirm) then I don't feel comfortable restoring it or even emailing it to you. However, what I can do is give you a list of the sources used in the article (see below).

Why are you (wiki-admins) deleting utterly huge portions of the criminal-psychology information on Wikipedia? - (For the article in this situation) Your accepted reason was "A psychobabble bullshit coined by a single person. This is nothing but a well-known "terrorist" concept. The author creates a mil-style pseudoscience by concocting a bunch of abbrevs VTB, HASSOM, SMASI, SMAGI,... to create an illusion of serious research. - üser:Altenmann" - Just because Altenmann doesn't agree or accept J. Reid Meloy's (Or any other criminal psychologist with differing opinions) arguments/beliefs doesn't make mass deleting articles that have existed and provided years of quality information correct......... (In this instance) Altenmann has not given any detail on why this article should be deleted other than "psychobabble", which in itself makes up a very small percentage of the words in the article(s) deleted.Even if the articles were of low quality as Altenmann implies (which they aren't from a neutral perspective) his comment for their deletion are very poorly written and heavily opinionated. For the same line of dialog can be ad-libbed for similar articles I or other people disagree with. Once again, the comment you used to the judge this article is low quality, fallitic and most likely politicized (Same user tried to get /wiki/Clintonism deleted). So given what I have said, there's no reason for the article(s) to have been deleted.

The article was deleted because there is no evidence of usage in the wider world. That is the reason, there is no great conspiracy. Evidence would include detailed commentary on the subject by independent reliable sources. Comments made by other editors have nothing to do with me, and if you have an issue with them you can take it up with them on their talk page. I myself am not going out of my way to delete "huge portions of the criminal-psychology information on Wikipedia", I am not aware of any sort of agreement among admins to do so, and I don't answer for other admins or their actions, so I'm not sure what you want me to about it.Sarahj2107 (talk) 09:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

EDIT: "The article was deleted because there is no evidence of usage in the wider world." "No evidence of usage in the wider world"? First of all what does that actually mean and how can you with no experience in that area make those claims. You also say " independent reliable sources". I think most intelligent people would consider someone who works for the FBI as a criminal profiler to be a reliable source. If you do not agree then what about a huge portion of Wikipedia articles that do not have "independent reliable sources". You raise the bar for articles you disagree with and lower them for articles you agree with. Tired of the old guard Wiki-admins whitewashing information you disagree with as you push your left-wing agenda. Anyways it doesn't matter at this point, I found I can just pull up all the information on WaybackMachine and will be sharing that with everyone else from this point forward.

Hi Sarahj2107,

I noticed my article on the restaurant Spear It was removed with speedy deletion. I would like to know if there is any way I can get the article's contents back so that I may fix my errors. In addition, I would greatly appreciate any suggestions you have as to how to make the article less like an advertisement. In creating it I never intended to advertise, so I'm not sure which parts led to the deletion. Thank you for your time! JGundal (talk) 17:00, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi JGundal, unfortunately I can't restore the article because it is too promotional. If you assign a valid email address to your account I can send the material to you that way if you want. The main promotional issues were the fact that it only talked about the restaurant in a positive light (See our policy on neutrallity for help with this), and the fact that it listed menu items; this should normally only be done for items that are particularly noteworthy and have been discussed in detail in third party sources. If you were to rewrite the article you need to bear in mind that Wikipedia is and encylopedia and we don't list every buisness that exists. We determine if a subject is suitable using the notability guidelines. For the restaurant to meet these guidelines there would need to be multiple independant, reliable sourcse that talk about it in detail. If these sources exist and were used to provid information to write the article, it would likely be less promotional. I have had a quick look and I don't see any. If you want me to email you the content of the deleted article though, let me know. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Sarahj2107,

I would greatly appreciate the contents back so I can fix it. You can reach me at joshgundal@yahoo.com. Also, given that the establishment I am covering has been open only 7-8 months, I can't find any online sources. All of the information I am getting is from the manager and the documents the company owns. How do I cite these things? In creating the article I tried to look at other restaurants' wiki's as references. I thought I followed pretty closely to that of Long John Silver's page. They referenced food items as I did. Thank you for your time, JGundal (talk) 16:33, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

@JGundal:. Information from the manager or company cannot be used to show notability because they are not independent. If there are no other sources then the restaurant doesn't meet the notability guidelines at the moment. While looking at other articles on similar topics can be helpful, remember that they might have problems that have not been fixed yet and so shouldn't be used to justify something in another article.

Hi Connatural. The page was deleted following a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/MC Conrad. Multiple editors agreed that there are not enough reliable sources to prove the claims the article made and to meet the notability gidelines. For the article to be recreated there would need to be multiple reliable, independant sources discussing you and your work in detail, or one of the criteria here would need to be met. Sarahj2107 (talk) 14:57, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

thank you for getting back to me.

as i mentioned i am the artist known as mc conrad

the criteria you mention that i would need to meet should be fairly easy to meet. how would i go about providing the needed information?

i've never actually edited/used wikipedia as a user for my own page entry, so the arena of controlling my own data entry in quite new to me.

please advise

regards

conrad

Connatural (talk) 16:17, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

@Connatural:. You shouldn't be editing your own article or "controlling [your] own data entry" as you have a conflict of interest (See also WP:Autobiography). As I said above you need to provide multiple reliable, independant sources discussing you and your work in detail, or proof of meeting one of the criteria here which would need to be suported by a reliable source.

Victoria Nixon deletion and Michael Messenger conflict of interest - part 2

Further to your sage advice. I want ideally to go back to Victoria's original Wikipedia page prior to the debate starting about its validity, and start from there - is that possible? I see on your recent comment you mentioned the existence of a draft version that could be worked on but I was unable to open it, or was that because I was not signed in? baby steps....! Regards MM 89.105.121.92 (talk) 15:21, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Victoria Nixon deletion and Michael Messenger conflict of interest - part 2a

I have now signed in but find that the page mentioned 'Draft: Victoria Nixon' does not exist - please can you tell where to find it if it is the key to reworking Victoria's data correctly@ Thanks Messengero (talk) 15:28, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

@Messengero:.The draft had been deleted because no one had edited it in 6 months. I have now resotred it so you can work on it - Draft:Victoria Nixon. Sarahj2107 (talk) 16:13, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Deleted page Diamonds Private Free zone

Hello Sarah,

You have deleted a wiki for the page Diamonds Private Free zone earlier today. This page was related to the second largest Trade Free zone in Jordan and the only private Free zone of its kind in the middle east. The content in there was not promoting or advertising the company but rather to give some information about what a private free zone does. Could you explain your reasoning for deleting the page?

Yours, Majd B.Eng, MSc., PhD — Preceding unsigned comment added by MAR 81093 (talk • contribs) 09:30, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi MAR 81093, the page was deleted becuase the content was overly promotional in tone. Wikipedia pages should not contain "Mission statements", "visions" or list of objectives. The whole article was written the kind of tone you would see on the company website, which is not apropriate for an encylopedia. Please read the guidelines on promotional content and the policy on writting neutrally. Sarahj2107 (talk) 09:39, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

Please recovery

Hello, please restore the article Andrey Smagin. I beg you. I promise to finalize the article and I promise to clean hoax article. Please recovery.--VikiLaikeR199 (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Joshua57. As this article was deleted after consensus to do so was reached at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrey Smagin, I cannot just restore it, especially considering it was a biography of a living person who is only 15, and there were problems with unverified content and unsuitable sources. These issues would need to be addressed before the article could be restored. If you think I closed the discussion incorrectly, or you have substantial new information that was not addressed in the deletion discussion, then you can take it to deletion review. Any attempt at recreating the article as it was will result in it being speedily deleted. Sarahj2107 (talk) 08:47, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

And a Happy New Year of the Rooster to one and all!
