On the authority of Wikipedia:WikiProject UniNet and per [1], I'm afraid you are no longer welcome on the Internet, we're going to have to ask you to leave--Jac16888 Talk 11:15, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
- Whatever, the internet is just a fad anyway. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:21, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
Calvin Coolidge
I wanted to inquire as to why you have deleted the recently created page Calvin Coolidge (rapper). Calvin Coolidge is an up-and-coming rapper with a significant following, and I fail to see why the page warranted deletion. On the contrary, more people should contribute to the page and help it to grow.
Marinedonut (talk) 02:10, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
- He is unsigned and doesn't appear to have done anything to suggest that he is notable yet. Has his significant following been documented in any reliable sources yet? Adequate sourcing is what usually decides whether an article is kept or not. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:17, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Philosophy semiprotection
I noticed that you semiprotected Philosophy here:
And that the protection was removed here:
There appears to still be an ongoing problem with edits that are not made to improve the article, but rather because of Wikipedia:Get to Philosophy, and thus in my opinion semiprotection is appropriate.
To reduce the likelihood of damage to Wikipedia I added a section to Wikipedia:Get to Philosophy (section "Gaming The System") and made sure that the first few links in Philosophy went to appropriate philosophy-related articles rather than articles about partially or completely unrelated topics, but I still believe that semiprotection of Philosophy is needed due to ongoing vandalism by IPs and new accounts.
If I understand the note at Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates correctly, this can be corrected by using <noinclude>{{tl|pp-semi|small=yes}} instead of {{tl|pp-semi|small=yes}}. Guy Macon (talk) 19:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- Looking at the history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Avicennasis it seems that several of the pages that were unprotected may need some sort of protection. It's hard to believe that Anal sex doesn't have an ongoing vandalism problem, yet there is http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anal_sex&diff=prev&oldid=431691085 I will leave it to you to decide on those, especially because I have this sneaking suspicion that perhaps I am making a newbie mistake by assuming removing {{tl|pp-semi|small=yes}} actually changes the protection level. Guy Macon (talk) 20:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- Just to cover all bases, I put in a request here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection#Philosophy Guy Macon (talk) 21:59, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- You're right, you are making a newbie mistake :)
{{pp-semi}}is just a template to notify other editors that the page is protected. It has no bearing on the actual protection level. The protection on philosophy wasn't removed, it just expired: I only set the duration for a week. Incidentally, I don't think I protected it due to the philosophy game, but rather run-of-the-mill vandalism. But you're absolutely right that the philosophy game has been something of an annoyance lately. I've also noticed some related problems at articles like sequence, quantity, and information, with some editors trying to break the chain, and others trying to restore it, with little regard as to what's best for the article. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- You're right, you are making a newbie mistake :)
- I had a look at the section, very nicely done. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:41, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

—HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
uhh hi.
Um, what I edited to the Kate Voegele page is... "true". But now I guess I'll have to find scholarly sources that meet your stringent requirements for adding to the field of human knowledge. Because we can't gain access to her plastic surgeon's surgery records, I suppose we'll have to find some of kind of "E News" style discussion of it, which... doesn't exist, because she's a nobody in the grand scheme, who will probably be spit out the bottom of the porn industry in 5-6 years. By the way, the thing about clearchannel is 100% guaranteed.
I would like to add an epistemological comment, namely, that because the sphere of Wikipedia's coverage is _far_ beyond that of any kind of properly "encyclopedic" standard, not to mention, journalistic standard, any thing which could possibly call into question the bona fides of this... "pop star, singer-songwriter, and actress," whose wiki entry makes her sound like a self-made creative juggernaunt, which might be found in a "real" journalistic source simply does not exist. How can you rectify this with your apparent high standards, as I note a palpable lack of sources for the positive (epistemologically speaking) details presented on the page as it stands?
You know what I mean?
Sincerely, Someone who went to school with the aforementioned charlatan
P.S.: Would it be ok if I added the detail about her nepotistic connections to Clear Channel corporation, if I found a source for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.118.101.137 (talk) 08:16, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- The criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. If the references present in the article are lacking, the solution isn't to add even more unsourced information, especially if that information is contentious. The Clear Channel stuff would be absoulutely fine, as long as it is properly sourced. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:26, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Would it be ok if I were to remove the unverified and unverifiable content, that is to say, 95% of the article that isn't linked to any reputable source? It might a be a big project though. --75.118.101.137 (talk) 08:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
Sorry, another post, but to back up what I just had. "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source."
Clearly a lark on the part of whoever wrote that. Or if not, why shouldn't one be able to remove the unsourced material? Could I tag every thing as unsourced and after a week is it fine to delete it? Or do the publicity companies have free reign on this "encyclopedia"? --75.118.101.137 (talk) 08:39, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
More over, you avoid the epistemological issue: could one add whatever they want unsourced so long as it isn't controversial? I mean, how did any of this get on here in the first place then? The only links here are to thumbnail galleries and publicity releases by dubious corporations.--75.118.101.137 (talk) 08:41, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hello, anonymous user. I noticed this question, and thought I would try to help out.
- It's quite easy, really; and quite fast. Please see this edit. In accordance with the policy WP:V and particularly WP:BLP, I have removed a large amount of unreferenced or poorly-referenced information.
- Now, if possible, please add back anything you like, with a reliable source - that is, something with a 'reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'. Anything that does not have one should be removed.
- If there is not evidence of "significant coverage in independent reliable sources", the article may be deleted - see WP:VRS, WP:BIO.
- I also suggest you create an account - amongst other reasons, it makes it easier to get help with this sort of thing.
- That's sooo encyclopedic of you. Cheers. --75.118.101.137 (talk) 08:55, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Question
(Moved from your user page, where it was originally placed by UnifiedLeft StrikerforceTalk Review me! 10:48, 3 June 2011 (UTC) ) Why did you revert the Donut Day page back to a SPAM advertisement page for donut retailers? How is any of the nonsense about doughboys relevant? Instead of reverting, how about gutting the advertisements and nonsense from the article and seeing what would be left?--UnifiedLeft (talk) 10:42, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Kyle Mosher
Just curious why you removed Kyle Mosher as notable resident for Nashua, NH? Goodartistscopy (talk) 19:29, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- He didn't have a Wikipedia article when I removed him, which led me to believe he wasn't notable. I see that he has one now, so I'm appeased. Please understand, people like to add their buddies or themselves as notable residents of wherever. Seeing if they have an article written about them or not is a quick and easy way of determining if they really belong. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and good luck with the article. --Bongwarrior (talk) 21:46, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

I think you should semi-protect it again. It expires tonight, yet he only resigned today. Just a thought. SOXROX (talk) 00:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

D-Pryde
Ya hi....I was wondering why the article for D-Pryde was deleted, and I am not able to create that page. There is plenty of info that I can use on him in this page: http://rap.wikia.com/wiki/D-Pryde_%28Rapper%29.
--Techno31 (talk) 22:10, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- The article was repeatedly deleted, then finally protected, because the subject didn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I'm reluctant to unprotect it because there's nothing in the Rap Wiki article that suggests that much has changed since then. If you believe I'm mistaken, you are welcome to work on a draft in your userspace. If you are able to develop a suitably referenced article, I'll consider moving your draft into the main encyclopedia. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
- Or, you could just create an unreferenced article at an alternate title, which will soon be deleted. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:34, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks & A question abt. reverting vandalism
High Bongwarrior, wanted to say thanks for blocking that IP user that launched a wholesale vandalism attack on Red Sea. I tried to fight them off best as could but it was so late at night here (central USA) I finally had to go grab some sleep. Question - in a situation like that how can I revert more than one of their edits at a time, like back to the last honest edit? Is that whats called "rollback" rights? If so, how can I be granted them. I'm not a full-time vandalism fighter, but have been involved with it quite a bit lately patrolling recent changes, and thought it might be useful. Thanks again, and have a great Wiki kinda day! Sector001 (talk) 19:37, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I've enabled rollback for your account. Be sure to use it with caution, and only on obvious vandalism. You may also want to have a look at Twinkle. It's basically a slower version of rollback, but it gives you the option of adding an edit summary if needed. It's also very useful for warning users, reporting them to WP:AIV, welcoming them, and nominating pages for deletion, among other features. It can be enabled as a gadget under your preferences. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
Philosophy?
Hi Bongwarrior, I'm curious why you added "philosophy" to the Lupin/badwords list. Is there some particular philosophy related vandalism going on? So far, I have only seen false positives for this word.--Kubigula (talk) 05:05, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- I added it because I thought it might help track edits related to the philosophy game. I haven't noticed it to be a very worthwhile addition either - would you like me to remove it? --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:15, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
May 2nd
I made those changes because of the new Harry Potter movie that is coming out in America on July 15th. May 2nd is the date that the final scene takes place on. I do not think that my content is considered "vandalism". Most people around the world know of, or have read the Harry Potter series. The Harry Potter series is much more relevent than some of the other things that happened on May 2nd. The date of May 2nd was the date that the author of Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling, said in an interview as the date of those characters deaths and the final battle. Millions of people would not care if they see this in a Wikipedia article for that specific date. http://www.hp-lexicon.org/timelines/timeline_battles.html <--- this is the link that J.K. Rowling said that it was May 2nd. I hope you change that article back and include my additions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.174.165 (talk) 03:24, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
- I apologize if your edit was meant in good faith, but that information has been added so often that it's starting to become a problem. The addition has no encyclopedic relevance - we don't present fictional events and people alongside real ones on date articles, whether it's Harry Potter, Twilight, Indiana Jones, or whatever. --Bongwarrior (talk) 07:42, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

I think you unfairly blocked this user. I checked his edit count via the edit count tool on the toolserver, (Twinkle provides a quick link to a users edit count) and it says that the user has 1 live (not deleted) edit, and 0, count 'em, ZERO deleted edits. Wikipedia admins should always check and make sure that they will keep doing it. Perhaps (s)he was going to be a good editor after that, and now (s)he can't due to an indef block made after they made one edit. LikeLakers2 (talk) 22:27, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Block on User:Leopard0leo
Bongwarrior, many thanks for the indef block on Leopard0leo. I wonder if I could ask you a further favor? Would you consider a temporary semi-protection on the Queensland Core Skills Test article? It has had a lot of vandalism in the last 24 hours from a number of editors, mostly IPs. I have a request at Wikipedia:Rfpp#Queensland_Core_Skills_Test_.28edit.7Ctalk.7Chistory.7Clinks.7Cwatch.7Clogs.29 but its getting a bit tiresome reverting while waiting for that request to be addressed. Many thanks, Claviere (talk) 09:59, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

What did I do?
I'm trying to write myself a Wikipedia page. You deleted it.... No explaination? If I did something wrong maybe you can explain it. Is there a specific format I should be writing in? Am I supposed to pick a topic first, and if so, how? You got time to go through and delete stuff, maybe you can try being constructive this time and offering some advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christhulin (talk • contribs) 15:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- The subject of the article (you) does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. My best advice would be to pick a new topic. --Bongwarrior (talk) 15:32, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
I can't pick a different topic. And what makes someone notable? There's rappers on Wikipedia! Do I have to hit the Billboard charts first? I'm confused. And how is it that you get to decide who's notable or not? Not trying to sound angry, these are actual questions, not rhetorical. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christhulin (talk • contribs) 15:38, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
- No problem, check out Wikipedia:Notability (people). Essentially, a person is considered notable if news outlets and magazines and so forth have covered or reported on him or her. And yes, if you hit the Billboard charts you're pretty much in. --Bongwarrior (talk) 15:44, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Latest block of an Anon.
Hi Bongwarrior!
I just came here to inform you, that I believe that the Anon. that you blocked, 69.108.2.77, is actually a sock of blocked sock-puppeteer User:Catherine Huebscher. I have my suspicions, because another one of he/r Ip's he/r Ip's that had been blocked for Sp, 69.237.119.134, just so happens to have the same editing pattern as this new Ip, simmilar address, has shown hatred to User:Legolas2186, and has confessed to saying, "I'm happily editing on another IP and there is nothing you can do about it you lame biased d...". I know I should be reporting this somewhere, but have no clue where, and since you are the blocking admin of this current Ip, I was wondering is there anything that can be done? Thank You -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 02:49, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hey. In my opinion, nothing else needs to be done at the moment - the IP has been given some time off, and probably won't be used again. As for the sockenmeister, you may want to make a note at the SPI page for future reference. If it continues, a range block might be the way to go. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:37, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Different person here, I really think it is notable when its on the front page of a major site. 94.12.216.158 (talk) 03:30, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- This is in reference to...? --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:32, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
EDIT Sorry, I didnt realise this was your user talk page. New to editing and wikipedia! 94.12.216.158 (talk) 03:37, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- Ok, understood. Now, I like Reddit, but being on the front page of Reddit isn't quite the same as being on the front page of CNN.com or something. Reddit is entirely user-created content and doesn't come close to being a reliable independent source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy, which is something that Wikipedia requires if we are to have anything to base an article on. Using Reddit as a source about a meme/theory invented on Reddit isn't exactly kosher. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:56, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Whilst I understand it is user created content, I still believe it should be considered notable (possibly not for this article in question) and reputable generally because it has such a large userbase. 94.12.216.158 (talk) 04:58, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
- Notable, maybe - but only if CNN.com or someone were to do a story about the concept first. But reputable? Not likely. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:50, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

So you can't even tell me what is specifically wrong? How are you an authority on wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan61rusty (talk • contribs) 23:59, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

The article's primary flaw is a very fundamental one: nobody cares about the subject, a dek hockey team created by you and your friends. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:12, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Funny. Don't worry about crap when you don't know anything about the subject. Which you clearly don't. For your information over hundreds of fans have attended our games. Show some respect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan61rusty (talk • contribs) 04:17, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
- Just spotted this conversation; hope you don't mind my jumping in.
- Dan61rusty: I haven't read your article, so I can't say for sure, but based on your's and Bongwarrior's comments above, I'd refer you (like Bongwarrior said above) to Wikipedia:Notability (WP:NOTE). Basically, a reliable, independent third-party (like a local newspaper with an editorial policy for fact checking) must publish a story about whatever before it is considered sufficiently notable to be included on Wikipedia. This ensures that someone, themselves independent from the topic, thought that this was something (at least some) people might be interested in, and it provides a source for the Wikipedia article to be compared against to ensure that what appears on WP is accurate and unbiased. Odds are there aren't a lot of WP editors in your area who could attend your game(s) to verify what you might have said, and even if they did, that would be Original Research (WP:OR) which is not acceptable on WP. (Note that for an article to demonstrate that a topic is notable, the article must be about the topic; it wouldn't be sufficient for someone in an article to just mention that they went to one of your games; just so you know.)
- Basically, you have to contact your local newspaper and get someone who isn't involved with your thing to write a story (unbiased third-party), and get them (the newspaper or other third-party media) to publish a story about your games/league. This will then be a Reliable Source (WP:RS) which will prove notability; but review WP:NOTE to make sure you've met all the requirements. After than, you can re-create the article (including appropriate references to the WP:RS Source), and if anyone suggests that your article should be deleted because of WP:NN (Not notable) or for any other reason, you'll be able to argue your case citing the references you have from the independent third-party. It seems harsh when someone else deletes your work, but I've seen Bongwarrior's name elsewhere (although I've never dealt with him/her before), and from all I've seen (s)he's just trying to make WP the best it can be (which includes not having a bunch of irrelevant articles about things which only a tiny number of people care about). This is, after all, a global encyclopedia; and while the 3+million articles that do exist here represent way more than any other encyclopedia, they are all still stories which (could) be of interest to the entire English speaking population of the planet. Don't get discouraged, just try to learn the rules and procedures (and there are quite a few of them and it takes a while) and then do what it takes to be able to create and keep the WP article you want. (I notice that Bongwarrior didn't say (s)he deleted it because of lousy incoherent writing style, so you must be doing something right!
) Anyways, I hope that helps explain it more; and remember, just have fun! — Who R you? (talk) 20:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I read an article about the Wadsworth Constant on Lifehacker this morning, and immediately came to Wikipedia to learn more about it, only to find that you deleted the information I came here to read. "&wadsworth=1" is now an official URL argument to a YouTube video's URL to obey the Wadsworth Constant and start playing 30% into the video. It's surprising; YouTube took it seriously enough to integrate it into their application, but it warrants deletion here. Rpdillon (talk) 22:32, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Could you "unprotect" a certain article?
Excuse me, I'm new to Wiki, could you do me a big favor? I don't know who to ask, but I was wondering if you could immediately "unprotect" Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia so that myself and Andrew Lancaster could go in and re-edit the article. Plus, we recently edited/updated a few other articles and leaving this one untouched would leave it as a potentially contradictory source of info. I'm quite sure that whatever controversy over the article that existed before has died down considerably. Would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

Hi, can you help me with a correct specifying of the image to avoid its deleting? What should I use instead "Invalid fair use rationale" for the file, please? It is a screenshot taken from a TV talk show. Thank you. Uzerakount (talk) 10:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think there is one. Many of your uploads are okay, but too many of them are either non-free images used for decoration, or used to identify living people. For living people, it has to either be a free image or no image, with very few exceptions. --Bongwarrior (talk) 10:45, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- I thought Wikipedia policy allows to use screenshots. Else we couldn't either use a screenshots from music videos... I believe that as for Gombitova, one picture for a well developed article shouldn't be considered as decoration but be that "exception". Sorry to bother but can you advise, please? Uzerakount (talk) 10:57, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- The rules for music videos and album covers are different than the rules for living people. There is no possible free substitute for an album cover, so it is usually acceptable to use a non-free image under a claim of fair use. The same is usually true for music videos, as long as the video is being discussed in the article, not just the song. For File:Gombitovascreenshot.JPG, there is no valid claim for fair use because it is replaceable: i.e., a free image can fulfill the same purpose. It is not necessary that a free image is readily available, only that one could conceivably be created, which is always possible if the person is still alive. If the person is deceased, then a fair use image may be permissible because it is no longer possible to create a free one. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:14, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for sharing as above... It is a sort of difficult to manage all the rules for a non-native english person. One more question, please. As for Gombitova's screenshots I didn't use claim for fair use because it is "replaceable". I included in 'REPLACABLE' field that "the image is not replaceable by free content". Or am I getting confused...? Thanks heaps again Uzerakount (talk) 12:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- I modified the description details for Gombitova files. Hope it is alright.. Uzerakount (talk) 12:33, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- But it is replaceable by a free image that would serve the same purpose, so I don't think that will work. It can be kind of tricky - Wikipedia:Non-free content probably does a better job of explaining the difference between acceptable and unacceptable fair use than I am able to. --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:13, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- How could a picture that refers to a concerete event be replaceable by any free image. If so, in that case it must apply also for screenshots of music videos. I discuss the person and the issue itself (e.g. Car Accident of Marika Gombitova) in the relevant article. I left my comments on the discussion page of the discussed files, there is nothing more I can do about as it seems. Uzerakount (talk) 21:26, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, I know that Hullaballoo Wolfowitz removed the files yesterday. Though, I think he'd wait unless discussion is not finished. I included today into all files' description that "a free equivalent is unavailable," which is true. But I don't know what more I can do. Thank you anyway Uzerakount (talk) 20:31, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for handling the "award" on my talk page last night
It's appreciated. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:19, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. Congrats, by the way :) --Bongwarrior (talk) 20:40, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
I think the crash image does belong. Dan's alive and well in the photo and the photo furthers the reader's understanding of the accident by illustrating it in a way which text cannot. I've made a more detailed comment on article's talk page and would appreciate your input before we decide whether or not to include it. N419BH 01:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- Understood, thank you for letting me know. --Bongwarrior (talk) 01:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
Why did my page get deleted?
I have been working on a wiki page since 6 pm today, right now it is 1am in the morning and my page has been deleted. I'm new to Wiki, so I don't know if it got deleted because I saved it before it was done... and I wasn't done with it. More information had to be put in like the discography. I was making a page about Jlcdlt. He is a recording artist. And he is notable enough to be on Wikipedia. He has fans in South America, the United States, Europe, the UK, Australia and Canada. Do you think I could make a page about Jlcdlt and not save it until it's complete? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popguru101 (talk • contribs) 07:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- I've moved it to your userpage, where you can work on it as much as you like. However, I'm fairly certain that the subject doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, so I'm not sure there's anything you can do to make it more acceptable. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:04, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand how you are certain if I hadn't put sources in it yet and it wasn't even complete? And I read the notabiliy requirements. I'm have studied this artist enough and I am fairly certain that he meets those requirements. I would like to finish the page to the fullest, but I don;t want to spend hours working on it, so it can be deleted. How can I assure that it won't be deleted? Maybe it can be reviewed by a person that has done research about this artist's notability? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Popguru101 (talk • contribs) 08:11, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
- If you like, I'd be happy to review it when you are finished. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:13, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
Why did the Jlcdlt page get deleted...again? Can you provide specific reasons? --Popguru101 (talk) 06:51, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Because Jlcdlt is not notable by Wikipedia standards. Facebook, Twitter, even iTunes - great for promoting an artist wanting to make it. This site is for those who have already made it to a level that at least a few reliable sources have commented on. Bongwarrior is just doing what the majority of editors would do, so don't take it personally. Doc talk 07:04, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
What the heck would I do with this?
Hi BongWarrior, I see you've been busy clearing out CSD tagged articles. I ran into this (Love_To_Be_Hated) and cannot find a suitable CSD rationale. Does it really have to be PROD'd or have I missed something? Best, ROBERTMFROMLI | TK/CN 00:18, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- Much thanks. I thought it kinda leaned G11 but wasn't sure. I was skipping A7 since it wasn't quite talking about a company (just their product line). Thanks again, ROBERTMFROMLI | TK/CN 00:25, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. You picked the best possible course of action, which is to not tag it if you are uncertain, rather than to try to shoehorn it into a category where it might not fit. Sometimes it's painfully obvious that something needs to be deleted, but it's not really a speedy deletion candidate. There's nothing wrong with using prod in that case, but that wasn't necessary here. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

why have you deleted the page? You based your decision on a vandalised version of the article which I restored, which DID state his importance. At the very least it deserves to stand trial . Δελφι — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.89 (talk) 10:59, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- No, I saw the correct version. There wasn't a big difference, and I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
If u saw the correct version, then why did you delete it. There was a claim of importance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.136.195 (talk) 11:05, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- I read it twice, very slowly. There wasn't, honestly. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:08, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes there was. It said he was a prominent musician. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.217 (talk) 11:10, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
- Being a "prominent musician" is so vague that it means absolutely nothing. If you feel I have deleted this incorrectly or out of process, you are welcome to mention it at Wikipedia:Deletion review, which functions as a sort of oversight, but I don't believe you will find satisfaction. --Bongwarrior (talk) 11:17, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
Thanks..
for the protect on Heather Mikayle its been a problematic CSD. If you look at the primary author's contribs you'll notice that they've created it under other titles... might want to place a protection on them too, if you see fit. Cheers Petiatil »Talk 14:52, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
