Speedy deletion contested: Cohen & Gresser LLP

Hello WilliamJE, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Cohen & Gresser LLP, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:57, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Speedy declined. A medal recommendation is significant. Dlohcierekim 17:15, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

He fails WP:MILNG clearly. A recommendation isn't a medal. The article also looks like a copyright violation. I AFD it....William 17:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

The copyvio has been removed (twice). Speedy deletion WP:CSD#A7 is only to be used where there is no assertion of significance. This is apart from notability. Certainly being nominated for a medal is significant. However, you are correct in questioning the subject's notability. The place to sort it out is AFD. When an article asserts significance but the subject is still not notable, it is best to apply a WP:PROD. Please do review WP:CSD#A7 and WP:PROD. Thanks, Dlohcierekim 17:39, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Boulevard Drive-In Theatre (Allentown, Pennsylvania)

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Boulevard Drive-In Theatre (Allentown, Pennsylvania), which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Mikhail Pakhomov

Hi, I was a little surprised at your A7 deletion tag of Mikhail Pakhomov as members of Parliament are usually deemed notable, even for somewhat smaller countries than Russia. So saying that someone was a member of Parliament seems to me an assertion of importance. I nearly deleted it G10 as it was unsourced and negative, but decided it was better to source it myself. Hope you don't mind, feel free to AFD it if you think members of the Russian Parliament don't meet wp:politician, but please don't use A7 for articles with a credible assertion of importance, even if you think that AFD would probably deem them not quite notable. Cheers. ϢereSpielChequers 15:34, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

The article was unreferenced when I CSD it. Try refreshing yourself on WP:BURDEN before coming to me instead of approaching the editor who created an article without one single source for what he had written. Bamler2 isn't a neophyte editor either and should know better....William 15:43, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Unreferenced is not a valid reason for an A7 deletion tag. If the chap was still living it would have been valid to BLPprod it, but BLPprod only applies to biographies of living people. ϢereSpielChequers 15:59, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Again WP:BURDEN where's the proof the person is a member of parliament, isn't alive, and was murdered? A article creator can just say anything then is what you're basically saying.

Get off my back and try giving Bamler2 a hard time instead. I'm not the one who created an article WITHOUT ONE SINGLE SOURCE OR THE EDITOR WHO SEEMS TO BE FORGETTING ALL THE MAKE BELIEVE THAT'S POSTED TO THIS WEBSITE DAILY AND INSTEAD GIVING A HARD TIME TO PEOPLE WHO TRY TO PUT A STOP TO IT. Since you can't address Bamler2, you're only reinforcing my very low opinion of administrators around here. That rogue or rouge administrator category link at the bottom of your user page might apply....William 16:22, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Don't say either that unreferenced articles about dead people haven't been deleted because something about it told an admin. that it was possibly made up in spite of assertions of notability. For example, there was an article created a week or two ago about a child being murdered. It was CSD. Child murders have been the subject of WP articles but somehow and administrator just didn't find the article credible without a source. Just an assertion of notability is deemed not enough by admins around here even if A7 says otherwise. Maybe you should be building the case against them to be desoped since they don't follow A7 to the letter. Then I have often said the administrators here protect their own/ignore admin. abuse and that rules are only applied to the little people....William 17:54, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

We admins are supposed to use our tools within the policy that all editors can take part in setting. If you want to change policy to broaden A7 so that any unsourced new article can be speedied then feel free to make your case at Wikipedia_talk:Speedy_deletions. As for your reference to "Make believe" articles, I was able to source this to the Daily Telegraph, and I also saw a story on the Daily Mail website. I really don't think that this is a "make believe" article. It was of course an unsourced article about someone being murdered, so if you'd tagged it G10 then I wouldn't have disputed the tag. Unsourced negative articles need to be deleted or sourced PDQ. ϢereSpielChequers 18:22, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Palm Springs list

Say, William, that List of people from Palm Springs, California has a section for the different towns in the Coachella Valley. The list is not confined to Palm Springs, and the lede states that fact. Some thought & discussion has taken place over creating a List of people from Coachella Valley article, but no real progress has been made. I included the other towns in the PS list because the whole area is popularly known as PS. (People living in the valley will differentiate as to what towns they are from.) Outside news reports typically show people as from/living in/dying in Palm Springs (because that is what the area is globally known as) when they are actually in the neighboring towns. So, how does my rationale comport with WP:Category_names#Residence? Regards. – S. Rich (talk) 18:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

One of two things need to be done with that oversized list- Either rename it to a title such as People from Coachella Valley or Break off some of the other communities into their own lists. I just recently cleaned up the People from Youngstown, Ohio which had people on the list from areas around Youngstown. List articles like I describe stick to a well defined area and the article's title should display it....William 15:01, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

I put the CV names in my sandbox. It is just shy of 11k bytes. At the moment, though, a simple cut & paste into a new article won't work because of the multi-refs. (I've wanted to create a CV article all along, but just haven't moved beyond my good intentions.) Maybe this weekend. Probably will do so by the end of the month. You've inspired me! – S.

Kristijh

Sorry for the trouble. I should have reported the vandalism on the spot. I don't know why I waited the 11 minutes. I forget. I could have been called away on an off-wiki thing.

On the upside, Kristijh got the message, and hopefully it will have the same effect as a block and he will change his ways....hopefully. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:16, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
