CF Rock Fest

Why did you delete the page for Canadian Forces Halifax Rock Fest?--24.222.189.203 (talk) 03:47, 7 September 2009 (UTC) I should explain that I answered every nomination for deletion: one guy said it would be alright if it were annual, and it is, another guy said it didn't have enough references so I got some more. I even wrote it so that it only reflected the facts, so that it didn't appear promotional, like my first version did. --24.222.189.203 (talk) 03:56, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

I deleted it per my understanding of consensus, after reading the discussion. If you wish to contest my oppose, you can go to WP:DRV. Regards, NW (Talk) 04:02, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Do you think it deserves deletion, even after the conditions put forth by those who voted for deletion were met? Or do you think it deserves deletion at all? --24.222.189.203 (talk) 04:42, 7 September 2009 (UTC) I looked at the consensus link, and feel that the editing process wasn't fulfilled -- . After the article was edited further, there were no agreements or disagreements with the changes. --24.222.189.203 (talk) 08:31, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

The part about the consensus that I meant was Misplaced Pages:CONSENSUS#Community_discussions_and_polls. As for the five links that you added to the article, two were unreliable (as blogs), and the other three were either self-published sources in local sources or simple event descriptions that do not go to establishing notability, which means the points of those moving to delete the article were not properly addressed. NW (Talk) 15:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter that the blogs were from reliable sources (Much Music and Sabian)? Also, I don't understand why news articles describing the event don't establish notability; the entire purpose of news is to promote notable events of the day. Should it instead be in a different category? I mean, I understand how a single concert with those musicians is not considered notable, but the fact that this is Canada's military hosting a concert I do find notable. I noticed it was reposted in a Music category for a consensus, so this is why I mention this--I don't think it's musically notable. For next year's concert, do you recommend adding references early, to assure a good number of reliable sources? How many is enough? I mean, there were four newspapers referenced for this article. I'm sorry for continuing to question this, I'm just at a complete loss as to how to create a Misplaced Pages page.--24.222.189.203 (talk) 02:49, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

If you want, you can ask Jake Wartenberg to comment and maybe he'll reconsider the deletion. He's usually open to discussion and I'm sure he'll be happy to go over it with you. Nathan 03:52, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

The Girls of Phnom Penh

Dear Administrator

I am the producer and director of The Girls of Phnom Penh. I am trying to place this film's synopsis on Misplaced Pages but it appears it has been deleted, and I've been asked to email you with regards to this. Could you please advise me how to proceed.

kind regards

Matt Watson

The reason your article was deleted was because the way it was written failed the anti-advertising policy. Per WP:NPOV, all articles must be written neutrally and without bias, and per WP:V, must also include sources to reliable, third party reviews. The article must also satisfy the notability criteria for films. If you believe that you can recreate the article so that it fits all those criteria, then it can be recreated.

How old do I have to be before I can join the account creation team?

When I go here this is the response I get I'm sorry, you are too new to request an account at the moment. How old do I have to be before I can join the account creation team? Dr. Szląchski (talk) 19:48, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Generally, about three months of editing experience and a solid understanding of the username policy is required to join the ACC team. NW (Talk) 20:30, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Dewan357

Looks like you are up and about. Think you could get 159.91.20.43 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) blocked quickly for me. He's refusing to give up tonight, and it's obviously Dewan357 back again.—Kww(talk) 02:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for alerting me. NW (Talk) 02:03, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Bounced immediately to 159.91.22.150 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)—Kww(talk) 02:07, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Nikita Zotov

Fake timestamp: 15:59, 27 September 2009 (UTC) Before I forgot it. I am only glad helping with that article (those russian translations were a matter of minutes, though the language was really tough at times, we don't use such for centuries :-), but I will have uncertain internet access between 16 and 26 September (probably some, but little, on public PC). Materialscientist (talk) 06:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

That's no problem at all; I have likely hit my source limit in any case. I shall hold off on submitting the FAC before 26 September; I would prefer if you could take a look at it before it goes there. Thanks for the notice, NW (Talk) 15:59, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Made a note on Talk:Nikita_Zotov#Information_incorporated; do you think you could take a look? Thanks, NW (Talk) 03:41, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

User:150.101.28.41

150.101.28.41 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was blocked for 31 hours just 2 days ago. Any chance the length of the block can be extended? Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I blocked for one week; should that be sufficient? NW (Talk) 02:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

That looks good, thanks. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 02:11, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Joe Egan

If you are going to remove uncited information, then at least distribute the omission fairly. None of his career or personal life information is cited. Thus, it should be completely removed and not partially. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.159.230.55 (talk) 02:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I see that you have already done so. Please check out WP:BLP if you wish to know why we remove uncited negative information on biographies on living people. Thanks, NW (Talk) 02:17, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I will read it and consider it in the future. Do take note though that none of the information was cited. At least be fair when distributing your removal of contributions. Thank you. 66.159.230.55 (talk) 02:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

No biggie

No biggie, but I could swear that those 2 pix from The Shells were in use as recently as a day or two ago, not "unused for 7 days".--VMAsNYC (talk) 06:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I see from the image captions that they were not to be deleted until the 15th (if at all). Can you double-check that, and if so restore them for the moment, as discussion is still ongoing? Tx.--VMAsNYC (talk) 11:59, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I believe they were in the category for deletion on the 10th, but I could have been mistaken. I have restored the images. NW (Talk) 20:20, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

They were in the category for deletion on the 10th. Your mistake was deleting them under WP:CSD#F5; they should have been deleted under WP:CSD#F7. —teb728 t c 00:01, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

The Maiden City sockpuppets

Could you please reblock Fenian Hunter (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Papist Hunter (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) so they cannot create accounts, as he is using the first account to create more sockpuppets (such as Maid in China (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) which needs blocking) and will no doubt move on to creating sockpuppets with the second account as well. Thank you. O Fenian (talk) 09:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks like someone else got them while I was offline. In the future, it might be faster to drop this both on my talk page and on ANI. Regards, NW (Talk) 20:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

from NGO 2.0 China Project

Hi, Nuclear Warfare: I am a new comer in Misplaced Pages. The article "NGO 2.0 China Project" was deleted by you just now. I would like to know why you think it is "promotional"? It is an article introducing a new territory where Chinese grassroots NGOs meet Web 2.0 culture and tools. It helps wiki readers to gain knowledge about the scene of Chinese grassroots NGOs. What did we do wrong to be deleted? Would appreciate your advice.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitjingwang (talk • contribs)

Hello there! I deleted the article because it was not in compliance with our advertising and neutral point of view guidelines. If you wish, you can recreate a page on the subject, if and only if your project meets the notability criteria for organizations, if the article is written neutrally and if any conflict of interest does not impede you. I also advise you to read Misplaced Pages:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest and Misplaced Pages:Your first article before you begin. I hope this helps; feel free to reply if you need further assistance. Regards, NW (Talk) 03:35, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
