Bill Twomey Senior.jpg

Thanks for letting me know. I have previously uploaded some other WEG posters and they're also under the same criteria so I'll have to take look on the web for some better images to replace them. Cheers. Crickettragic (talk) 08:37, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Tool discography

In your revision of this list, you stated Opiate (EP) had no singles. I'm not totally sure, but our article for Opiate states otherwise. If you know this to be fact, please correct that article as well. Best regards, Lara❤Love 15:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Since October

I mean yes it would so much better if their were more people helping me on this then just me and three other people. But i'm trying the best i can with this page. Their is no need to delete. I going to try my best on this page. But more help would be great thank you.Skateremorocker (talk) 12:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

DC Tonic

Thanks for fixing the prod. I was rushing through a ton of proposed deletions for related articles and made a few boneheaded errors. -- Atama 15:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Joe Kleon

This article meets notability guidelines. Do I need to cut and paste them here? Just because I know the subject, does not mean there is a COI. The section I added is as neutral as the article, as it was written by Gwen Gale. There are no mentions of advertising on any part of the article. The subject meets notability guidelines in many areas, with many areas of his work. What is your problem with this? You do a lot of editing. Why not help improve the article, or at least add suggestions, instead of tagging it and running? Doesn't Misplaced Pages want you to help those new to the project? Aren't you supposed to help new articles develop? There are many sources, from daily newspapers, magazines, etc. I fail to see what your notability problem is. From Misplaced Pages: ""Closeness to a subject does not mean you're incapable of being neutral." My edits are as neutral as the article, writeen by experienced sysop Gwen Gale. Are you saying she was wrong for removing the notability tag? The article you created on the "Sweedish stoner band" Greenleaf has no sources at all. The Joe Kleon article has more than 20 reliable and notable sources. I do not understand your "logic." Clevelandmusic24 (talk) 18:22, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Disgustipated

The deletion was overturned due to the lack of discussion, lack of reasoning given and the lack of discussion of either side. If you wish to convert it to a re-direct then please put the AFD up again and have the discussion according to the[REDACTED] guidelines so that this article can be fairly dismissed. The song is rather signifigant and there's a lot of information that may warrant a new page. Either way though, a good discussion on the talk page would be better than an arbitrary deletion due to no one seeing any discussion and possible ignorance of the rules from everyone in this.

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 10:08, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Mere Theory

If I received explicit permission from the band, thier manager and the record company, would I then be able to upload those images in the discography section without including a critical commentary of the album?

thanks, 05kinjac (talk) 03:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know the answer to that question. Duffbeerforme (talk) 09:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Afd nomination for Mystical Sun

Hi there. Just a friendly reminder -- if you nominate an article for deletion it's customary to notify the page's author or major contributor, in this case User:M-sun, about the discussion. I did it for this one. justinfr (talk/contribs) 11:54, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Vroomtone and hoaxes

Hi. FYI, following up on our earlier discussion: per WP:HOAX#Dealing_with_hoaxes, hoaxes are officially not grounds for speedy deletion. Actually, that sounds extreme to me: if something is already known factually to you to be a hoax, because you've already read about its perpetration and its debunking, it ought to be a speedy-delete issue. But if you just assume it's a hoax based on the nature of the article, it makes sense that the deletion should be posted for consideration by others because they may know something of which you are unaware. (Hoax or no hoax, vroomtone would have been deleted anyway, of course, because even if it's real and even if becomes notable in the future, it isn't notable now! WP:CRYSTAL.) —Largo Plazo (talk) 18:31, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

I was going by the speedy deletion page, WP:CSD, which says Hoaxes. If even remotely plausible, a suspected hoax article should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum. Note that "blatant and obvious hoaxes and misinformation" are subject to speedy deletion as vandalism. Duffbeerforme (talk) 03:04, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, great, a contradiction. Well, that's what makes life interesting. Good to know, because some of these articles sure don't merit five days' consideration. —Largo Plazo (talk) 03:48, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Another editor editor tagged it as a CSD G10, another issued you a notice for CSD G10 and no hangon was on it. A living person depicted as a stick figure might not be considered lighthearted by everyone and very likely not agreeable with WP:BLP. — Ѕandahl ♥ 17:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Tjupi Band

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Tjupi Band, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Tjupi Band seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Tjupi Band, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I may have found some reliable sources for The Lost City of Malathedra. Could you please take a look here for coverage in what may be reliable sources. You may want to revisit Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Lost City of Malathedra. --Eastmain (talk) 15:53, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I have responded to you and yet still the pages that I edited have been penalized and the artists are suffering. Please respond to my comments on my talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helioprmedia (talk • contribs) 19:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Trevor Adamson

A tag has been placed on Trevor Adamson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Nuttah (talk) 20:44, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Ilkari Maru

A tag has been placed on Ilkari Maru requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

YoYo Records

Just a friendly note on YoYo Records. I declined the speedy and sent it to AfD instead, because it was at AfD last year with some keep !votes. Feel free to put your two cents in at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/YoYo Records (2nd nomination).--Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Crutch (film)

I believe your concerns have been addressed. Schmidt, 23:22, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Owl City

I removed your prod flag from Owl City after I added a link from an independent outside source (an album review from AbsolutePunk.net). If you want to run this article through the AfD process, please feel free to do so. I think it's a borderline case. travisl (talk) 00:30, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Amunda

I have nominated Amunda, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Amunda. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Oliver Twisted (Talk) 11:41, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Your hard work is about to be deleted from Misplaced Pages

The article you created, Amunda is about to be deleted from Misplaced Pages.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Amunda.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Misplaced Pages:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
You can merge the article into a larger article.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. travb (talk) 19:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Amunda

I'm happy to concede notability on Amunda with the additions you've made to the article. I've posted the sentiment to the AfD as well. Best regards. --Oliver Twisted (Talk) 12:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Dom Mariani

Its been sitting in my sandbox as there a still a lot of blanks relating to different periods in his life and more importantly I haven't referenced the various pieces of information that I have included within the article. I guess I like to try and make sure any article that I create is not just a stub. If you want to add/make any changes then you are more than welcome. Dan arndt (talk) 23:54, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

RE:AFD

Just a friendly suggestion, when you add an article for deletion, please notify the article's creator. Undead Warrior (talk) 01:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Notability of Legends of Motorsport (band)

A tag has been placed on Legends of Motorsport (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Eeekster (talk) 11:08, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Jamie Rae

Your comment on the Jamie Rae article makes me curious. What award did you win? - Mgm| 10:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Minor, unimportant details. It's one you have probably not heard of. I probably overplayed it's chance of making me notable but the yea but have you done betta comment annoyed me. I'm not interested in my own article here and know the basic criteria are flawed in that they let the maybe technically notable but will soon be forgotten to be here. My name will be always listed as having won the award, but so what? I've done things since that are more important to me but mean nothing here. Duffbeerforme (talk) 14:54, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

What's up with you?

I don't understand your recent moves. Back in July and August 2008 you worked on some Buckethead and Deli Creeps related pages and voted against deletion of the Deli Creeps' main article. That's why I invited you to the Taskforce when I started the project in November. You didn't even respond. Now you simply go to Category:Buckethead songs and nominate all entries for deletion, throwing them into only two discussion bunches, regardless of their individual notability. And that, after your poor attempts of getting them vanished without much noise failed about a week ago. Can you explain it to me?--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 18:38, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for not replying to your invitation, it was rude of me. I nominated these articles because there is no indication of why these songs are notable. Non notable subjects should not have articles. I voted to keep Deli Creeps as there was a goood, valid reason for their notability. Yes, I erred in bundling them too much. My attempts at making them vanish earlier is consistent with nominating them later. The redirects I created were appropriate and suggested at WP:MUSIC "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for the songwriter, a prominent album or for the artist who prominently performed the song." The ones I proded had diambiguated titles so where not a feasable search term possibly making them not useful redirects. Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I really should have known better...--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 19:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

FYI...

Regarding : When you remove the Google hits plus the example, the statement about cyberculture of course looks like OR. If you think it can be better done, do it. (see: {{sofixit}}) BTW: Do you only come here to terrorize Buckethead articles? What has he done to you? --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 05:46, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Partialy adressed at the articles talk page. I'm not fixing it because it is clearly original research. Claiming the song is an integral part of cyberculture is a huge leap from what the sources say and is something I simply do not believe. I did not come here to terrorize Buckethead articles. I'm just trying to fix Buckethead related content. Articles that do not belong, make false claims and are made up primarily of original research do not help. Maybe you should have another look at wp:v and wp:nor. Duffbeerforme (talk) 16:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

It's kinda strange that nobody else is seeing that. And the article has had lots of hits the last few days. Really strange. I might award you a barnstar for your tireless attempts in removing content from Misplaced Pages. Or annoying people, or whatever. The "integral" might be a bit nasty, yes. I removed it until I've made a deeper research through some of the hundred thousands of Ghits.--Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 17:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe you should have another look at wp:v and wp:nor and try to avoid making personal attacks . Duffbeerforme (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh, it is a personal attack to have a different opinion - ok... That closes every discussion... --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord 17:20, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

The pages about HURT (band)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Misplaced Pages again, you will be blocked from editing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/Happy_slapping http://en.wikipedia.org/Fuck http://en.wikipedia.org/Question http://en.wikipedia.org/Breadcrumb http://en.wikipedia.org/Reading_(process) http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia

Are you saying that these pages above are more notable than a band that has been heavily researched???

We've had this discussion with someone else; JUST BECAUSE THE INFORMATION ORIGINATED FROM A FORUM DOESN'T MEANT THAT IT'S NOT RELIABLE! Have you checked the links yourself? Most of the info we get has been through interviews conducted by other sites, that had the same feelings as you, that the band wasn't notable enough. As such, we've archived the interviews to the forum.

Also, deleting the pages, Hurt (Self-Titled) and The Consumation is a major point in this discussion. Those pages were based off of an interview that one person conducted. He had no other place to put it except the forum, this way it could be cited for the specific use of being on Misplaced Pages.

I hope that you take the time to reflect on what you delete from now on, because face value of a link isn't quite enough.

What is a reliable source is something defined at the link provided. I don't know if those other article are more or less notable but that does not matter, see Misplaced Pages:Other stuff exists. A superficial look at the first, Happy slapping shows very many independant sources. Do you really think that Fuck is less notable? Seriously? Such a question says a lot about your credability. Duffbeerforme (talk) 18:10, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't matter how notable it is. The point is that is some of those pages are useless, and make this site look like a joke. Do we need a page about the process of Reading? No. Because if someone doesn't know how to read, then they won't be reading it. Besides, you're reading while reading about reading. We don't need that article. But they're there, despite how useless they are. What makes breadcrumbs more notable than a band with a history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by EOA3928 (talk • contribs) 18:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

It does matter how notable it is, see WP:N. How notable is reading? If you really don't know then look at the Bibliography, the Further reading and the external links. The article on breadcrumbs is a poor article. That said find me a good number of people who honestly don't kow what breadcrumbs are and who do know who HURT are and I will withdraw my position. Duffbeerforme (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Once again, you're not reading the citations. December EP links came from the bands official website. Not notable enough? Apparently the band's information FROM THEM isn't good enough. You're vandalizing now, and trying to get back at me won't make you feel any better. EOA3928 (talk) 18:51, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

The bands official site is not independant of the band. Please don't make false accusations. Duffbeerforme (talk) 18:56, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
