Disambiguation link notification for January 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Druk Air, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bumthang. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Exostar
The page I created on Exostar was deleted, after I took out the items that could be construed as promotional. On the speedy deletion memo, it said the page would be fine if I deleted anything that was promotional. The page is about a joint venture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Va23Tarheel (talk • contribs) 22:05, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Va23Tarheel: The entire tone of the page was unambiguously promotional and even after you removed the blatant copyright violations, it was still heavily laden with close paraphrasing. The article would have required a lengthy fundamental rewrite to be acceptable and such circumstances justify deletion. If you want to rewrite the page, please do so entirely in your own words and after reading WP:NPOV and WP:PEACOCK. Moreover, write a draft article in your sandbox and ask an experienced editor to review it before putting it in the mainspace. Following this advice will make it far less likely that you efforts will be summarily deleted. Please feel free to ask me any more questions you have. Bellerophon talk to me 00:51, 16 January 2015 (UTC);
- Actually, after I removed the information that was taken from their website for the wiki, i made it almost bare bones. The leftover paragraphs weren't closely paraphrased at all and it listed outside references. In any case, thanks for the advise; I'll try writing the page in the draft space.Va23Tarheel (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't know. I edited my name, is that ok?Va23Tarheel (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- Absolutely :) Bellerophon talk to me 19:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Toxgnostics
It appears that you declined this article, but it is now in mainspace.... I am not familiar with the AfC process, but is this how it is supposed to work? The article doesn't seem ready for prime time yet. Thx Jytdog (talk) 13:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- It was moved into mainspace by the page creator. There is no policy against this, but it's generally frowned upon. It will still appear in the new page feed and you are entitled to take any editorial action you feel is appropriate, including nominating it for deletion. This subject is not really my area of expertise. Bellerophon talk to me 17:48, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
- hm. i need to spend some time to learn about the AfC process. strange that someone takes the time to review an article and that time is just blown off! thanks for answering. Jytdog (talk) 17:56, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Little Venice Pilates Article Deletion
With regard to my article that you have marked for deletion. I do not have any problem with the sentiment and reason - that it lacks notability - however the nature of your message is completely out of order and bordering on offensive. Misplaced Pages has little enough people editing it without apparently senior "editors" resorting to juvenile elitist garbage on other peoples work. Your message offered no constructive criticism and lacked any sense of maturity or intelligence.
Its very easy to slag-off other peoples work and your comment paid no regard for the genuine sentiment I tried to convey in the article. We all make mistakes - however your "self appointed" critical assessment brings no credit to the great work that is Misplaced Pages. I believe it will not encourage people who wish to participate for fear of public ridicule. May I suggest in future that if you are making statements in regard to articles you do it with maturity and a positive viewpoint to try and encourage the right way of doing something - not simply ridiculing the work of others with impunity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davyrobertson (talk • contribs) 19:22, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Davyrobertson: I'm very sorry you feel the comments were bordering on offensive; it was not my intention to be so. The way in which the article had been written seemed to suggest that 'this subject is notable because famous people go here'. My comments were intended to reflect this error and form a rationale for deletion—rather than at you personally. Having re-read what I wrote, I can see now why I may have come across as giving rather short shrift, and I apologise to you for that. However, may I suggest in future that if you decide to rebuke another editor at their talk page you do so in the very spirit you prescribe. Namely, without resorting to personal attacks such as labelling them: juvenile, elitist and immature. Finally, and in all sincerity, if you would like some help in your Wiki activities please feel free to ask and I will offer you any assistance I can.

The Deletion of the Article on Luiz Palhares
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your comments on behalf of the article I wrote on Mr. Palhares. Both Mr. Palhares and I were disappointed that Mr. Palhares accomplishments were deemed not notable enough to warrant an article. As was noted in the closing comments it was a borderline case. As this was my first Misplaced Pages article I was certainly disappointed on that front as well.
I was in Jacksonville Florida on business recently and stopped in to meet Mr. Palhares at his facility. I asked him if he was aware of any further documentation I could site to support a claim of notability. He provided me with a number of plaques and citations he has received over the last 35 years from the Gracie family and others for his work in helping Brazilian jiu-jitsu grow into what it is today. (Mr. Palhares is considered in jiu-jitsu circles as one of the first generation to popularize the art around the world.) I have attached photographs of these citations from Charles Gracie, Royce Gracie, Dan Inosanto, and The Special Forces in support of his notability. I told him I didn't think such items would be the sort of thing that could serve as adequate references for Misplaced Pages. I submit them for your consideration as I am not familiar with the rules that govern such things on Misplaced Pages. I don't want to ask for a Deletion Review and waste peoples time if these items can't be submitted to support a claim of notability.
Thank you Sciambro Sciambro (talk) 18:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Sciambro. You're welcome. The images you tried to add were not uploaded becuase your account has not yet achieved autoconfirmed status, which is required to upload media. However, from your desription of them I believe that you are right that they would not help Palhares' claim of notability. If the article is to be recreated we will need to provide evidence of significant coverage of Palhares in independent published sources (such as widely circulated magazines, published books , Newspapers etc.) and there must be several of them.
