Puebla (city)

Hi Anthony. Can you restore (move back) this article to where it was at (Puebla (city)) before it was moved to Puebla capital? There was no need for it to even have been moved in the first place. Thanks! --Discographer (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Is "Puebla City", friend. --JkMastru (talk) 01:28, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Move to → Puebla City. Disregard my above message Anthony. Okay, go ahead and move it to Puebla City then, please, for consistency, even though it is wrong as it falsifies both a city's given common and proper name, along with Aguascalientes City, Chihuahua City, Colima City, Campeche City, Durango City, Guanajuato City, Oaxaca City, Querétaro City, San Luis Potosí City, Tlaxcala City, and Zacatecas City (all wrong!). I now see that the Puebla (article) was moved late last year, I didn't catch that earlier. Only Mexico City and Ciudad Victoria are at their correct article places. Best, --Discographer (talk) 02:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @JkMastru and Discographer:  Done (There seems to have been quite a move war here, judging by the amount of deleted redirect edits at name Puebla City.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:56, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
    I think you stepped into what @TonyBallioni: had already fixed differently. Too bad none of these guys talked to each other between moves. Dicklyon (talk) 05:00, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
Yes. I moved it to Puebla (city) because that was the stable title. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:36, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
  • Anthony, please could you revert back to Puebla (city)? That's the agreed name of the article per the 2018 RM at Talk:Puebla City/Archive 1, and Tony had restored and move protected that title earlier this morning, so I'm unclear why you moved it again. Thanks!  — Amakuru (talk) 05:48, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Wojciech Waleczek

Hi. Could you please help me to move an userspace draft about an award-winning composer into article space? I would appreciate this a lot if you could review it or tell me who could review the article. The draft is about Wojciech Waleczek—a succesful pianist from Poland whose numerous achievements deserve to be celebrated with his own Wikipedia page. He took 3rd prize at the Premio Mario Zanfi competition and was the absolute winner of the 4th Franz Liszt National Piano Competition—to name just a few of his accomplishments. Mr Waleczek already has his articles on German and Polish Wikipedia. Hope to hear back from you. Regards, AngelOfDestiny (talk) 13:44, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Why was the page on Bolic Sound deleted?

I created a page for the recording studio Bolic Sound which you deleted. Why was it deleted? I see someone made a page in 2008 that was deleted for copyright, but I created a new page properly citing credible sources. I provided valuable information and the page was deleted with an explanation other than the section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. I don't see further discussion on why a page on Bolic Sound is being forbidden from being made. Where is the deletion discussion? Bolic Sound was a studio where many legendary artist recorded in the 1970s. It deserves to have it's own page.Twixister (talk) 09:22, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Some template fixes in season articles

Hello. Can you please fix the titles linked in each of the episode lists for each of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series (such as the ones linked at List of Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes)? The title listed in the 1= or Episode list/sublist/ (if the title is listed here) needs to match the current article title exactly, otherwise the episode summaries for those pages won't even show up at all (e.g. Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 1) - which I haven't gotten to yet). I've already taken care of the pages for Capsule Monsters, and the 1998 series (Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's didn't have this problem to begin with). I'm asking you since you might have a way to do this for all 21 or so Yu-Gi-Oh! episode lists faster than I can (and also since I'm just plain exhausted at this point). LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 12:34, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

  • @LightandDark2000: Sorry :: I have looked at page List of Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes, and I cannot work out what I am meant to do. Please, in detail, for each of the episodes involved, what should I do? I have never watched Yu-Gi-Oh! and I know nothing about the Yu-Gi-Oh! series's scenario or characters. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:43, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
I was referring to the episode list template syntax. For example, for one of the pages I linked above, for each episode | 1= List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters episodes (season 1) is incorrect and should be changed to | 1 = Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 1), because the page being referenced by the template needs to match the article title exactly. This edit is an example; it's really a tedious task. It's a really repetitive task that could be better done by a bot or automater, but I don't have access to those kind of tools. I could do this later, but there are a lot of pages, and I don't really have the time for that today. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 17:09, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
  • @LightandDark2000: I do not have access to a bot or an automater either. Try this: Go to the page to be edited. Click on "edit this page". Right click on the resulting edit display. In the resulting popup menu click on "select all". Press ctrl-C . Open a text editor (Notepad or Wordpad). Go the text editor display. Click in the text-editing display. Press ctrl-V . A copy of the Wikipedia page in editor form should appear in the text editor. Use the text editor's Replace function to replace (say) 'xxxxxx' by 'zzzzzz' wherever it occurs :: use the "ask me for yes or no each time" mode. When that is finished: right click in the text editor's text display. In the resulting popup menu click on "select all". Select menu Edit, Cut. Go back to Wikipedia's edit display :: its editing area should still be blue all over. Press ctrl-V . That should copy the edited editing-mode into Wikipedia's edit display. Examine it. If it is right. save it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:53, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Restore deleted edits for John Murton (or not)

The page John Murton had some deleted edits from 2009 and earlier that were also about a diplomat, perhaps the same one as the current article. You should therefore restore those edits unless you can show that the deleted version was about a different diplomat with the same name. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

But now, you have restored too much. Please delete John Murton and then restore only the article edits where the number of bytes has 4 digits (i.e. excluding 23:15, 12 June 2019 (55 bytes) and 23:18, 12 June 2019 (133 bytes)). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Burr comb moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Burr comb, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Jmertel23 (talk) 13:18, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

  • @Anthony Appleyard: It was never a question of not believing you, but rather that without references, the article would be at risk for deletion in mainspace. Thank you for adding the references! Jmertel23 (talk) 11:11, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

Restore deleted redirects to Burr comb

Inside of an HTML comment at Burr comb, it says that the pages Bridge comb and Brace comb had redirected there. After restoring the draft to mainspace, you should then restore both of those redirects, and remove the following HTML comment from the top of the article:

*[[Bridge comb]]
*[[Brace comb]]
-->

Hi Anthony, my article has been deleted today. How can I do to prove that I'm the owner of the copyright of the page http://www.andremehu-aquarelles.com/en/article-87.php . I created already a Creative Commons Licence CC-BY-SA 3.0 on this page (only this page) of my website to avoid copyright concern . You can verify it at the bottom of this page. Could you tell me what I have to do to re-submit my article. I wrote this text some years ago and I am creating the article for wikipedia with elements of this text wich is mine.

Reverted move

Cuchullain unilaterally reverted your move of WJCT to WJCT, Inc. without even discussing it at WP:RM/TR. If he wanted to challenge the move, he could have done it before you moved the article. Just take it to full discussion. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 17:00, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

As I explained at the talk page, I had no way of seeing that a technical request had been made until after Anthony moved it. This wasn't eligible for a technical request as it wasn't uncontroversial (this is no fault of Anthony's). If you wanted to argue for a move you should have opened an WP:RM and made your case.--Cúchullain t/c 17:30, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, I decided to delete the page http://www.andremehu-aquarelles.com/en/article-87.ph from my website. Please could you verify that it doesn't exist any article-87 on my website. I hope this will be enough to prove that I am the writter of this article , and that I am the owner of the website http://www.andremehu-aquarelles.com. Consequently I hope you will allow me to re-submit again for review. Thank you very much.

@Anthony Appleyard and Lize56: It is cached, and there's no indication of the necessary statement of release. Deleting the article from their own site means that the statement, if there was one, no longer exists. This doesn't appear compatible with the WP:DONATETEXT process.

Novoland: Eagle Flag

I'm just curious about the justification for deleting Novoland: Eagle Flag. As I recall it was a good article, equivalent to any other Chinese drama's article, and the topic it dealt with is a smash hit cultural phenomenon, thus completely warranting a Wikipedia article.

Philologick (talk) 17:23, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

So you're saying if a user gets banned, everything they made is deleted?

If not, then why was this page deleted? Oughtn't there be some review of pages to ensure good, quality articles aren't disappearing, especially on something as already under-represented as Asian culture?

Since you are the one listed as the one responsible for the deletion, you seem like the best person to ask.

I have contributed to two projects aimed at increasing the representation of under-represented groups. This is a major issue on Wikipedia and much effort is expended in working to make Wikipedia as broadly applicable as possible, not a narrow portrait of Western life, but encompassing the entire dynamic range of human experience. Deleting perfectly acceptable pages because of a taint in the history of that page seems profoundly counter-productive. If it were any other page, others may defend it; alas, China has few defenders in the English world, so I must take up the mantle.

Deletion

Hey, you just speedy deleted my creation, which was previously AFDed and deleted. As you may have seen, the article was deleted for not having continued coverage. This is while, recently, AP News published a piece deeply covering death of Mohammad Habali (Ctrl+f the name please), besides addressing other files. I did not have the opportunity of contesting the deletion or I would detail what's going on. --Mhhossein talk 18:47, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anthony. You deleted a page I created do to my 1) not rewording info from elsewhere enough and 2) not appearing neutral enough (e.g., I used included the Awards section other book author's pages have). I thus recreated the page as very minimal, with no mention of awards or favorable things said, etc. (hard to do while trying to communicate her contributions, but I did it). Now that I did a thorough job of rewording (so there is no similarity to other content) and just removed any content that seemed favorable, the page can be added, correct? I just submitted a new version if you want to take a look. I was modeling the page after the page I saw on Brene Brown, as her work is similar, but this time I left out anything favorable. Given Wikipedia's very publically expressed concern over pages on important female thought leaders being lacking from the site, Wikipedia's page on systemic bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias), etc., I would hate for the page not to be allowed at all when the copyright and non-neutrality were the only concerns and those concerns have been remedied. I want to be sure to push for Wikipedia's goals. Thank you for your consideration. Also, I'm happy to remedy anything else found (whereas a total wipe-out of the page is discouraging for people wanting to get major female authors, etc. included for a more balanced Wikipedia.

American Horror Story: 1984

Just querying this move when the the draft had been rejected twice, both times with the suggestion that content be merged into the existing page now at American Horror Story: 1984 (version 2), which until recently, had been an article itself. I don't believe that these moves were correct. PC78 (talk) 16:03, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

I'm also a bit confused as to why you moved the existing redirect to American Horror Story: 1984 (version 2) instead of either moving it to draftspace or just deleting it under WP:G6.

Hi, I saw that you moved the Jammu and Kashmir page to Jammu and Kashmir (Indian state) based on the request of an IP. As you would probably know this is a contentious topic and I believe an undiscussed move should not have been done here. Jammu and Kashmir is used to primarily refer to the state in India and a disambiguator for it is unnecessary especially with regard to the princely state (Jammu and Kashmir (princely state)) on whose basis the request was made.

Plus also episode section etc. We could do Version 1 history up to Aug 3 (when the userspace draft was last updated). Then use version 2 for everything thereafter.

Ukrainian Academy of Sciences

You've made a lot of confusion by renaming Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (Non-Governmental organization) to Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, it is wrong that disambiguation is not needed here, nearly everything that links to Ukrainian Academy of Sciences is referring to National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. "Ukrainian Academy of Sciences" is former official name of this national academy and simply how people were often referring to it here, while this NGO is more or less a fraud organization that sells fake degrees of "academicians" (I don't know how it corresponds to any criteria). So now lots of well-known scientists, like Vladimir Vernadsky, are stated to be fake academicians of NGO instead of well established national scientific organization. Please fix it by making disambiguation or by checking and correcting every page that links to Ukrainian Academy of Sciences.--Igor Balashov (talk) 01:15, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Recent history restorations

I’m concerned recently that the history restorations/merges of Draft:Gladiator 2 (film), Draft:Baby Driver 2 and Draft:Your Name (upcoming film) that were requested by the IP address 70.21.181.186 were very specific requests. These edit histories were deleted when the draft creators User:Hayholt, User:Artix Kreiger and User:TheGreenTower were blocked for sock puppetry, with the first two being socks of User:Winterysteppe. I’m wondering if the IP has correlation to those editors and were looking to have their edit histories restored, which is in itself a circumvention of their ban.

Hello. I'm Joshy. I don't wanna bother you, but I noticed the example you added on this article, which was a feature in a YouTube video. The first thing I'm gonna say is I would rather call that a play on words, as it was a coincidence. But that's not even my point. My point is I don't believe it should be cited on Wikipedia as a feature in an individual's video. I decided to remove it for now.

As can be seen at Talk:Kildin Sami orthography#Requested move 21 December 2018, this move is far from uncontroversial.

two synonyms

You moved Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (ANGLICO) to Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company with the explanation that a title should not contain two synonyms. Please explain. Are you saying that an acronym is a synonym? In the literature before an acronym is used it is first spelled out. The term Anglico is actually more wellknown than the words Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, hence it would be proper to title the article with the full name and acronym. don't you think. Writing Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, is not quite analogus to writing infantry company, the later is generic, the former is specific to a particular and specialized unit, much like Seabees. Of course there is no acronym for Seabees.Oldperson (talk) 22:13, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

  • @Oldperson: It is not usual in Wikipedia for an article's name to contain both a set of initials and also the words that the initials mean. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:17, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
@Anthony Appleyard: Ok it is not usual, and it is not usual for such WP articles that need to have their Acronyms in their title either, but just because it is not usual does not mean that it is wrong or contrary to WP:MOSIn this case it is highly appropriate. As I said persons familiar with the acronym ANGLICO are not familiar with it's long name.

And ANGLICO is just one of many such that can be hauled out as an example.Oldperson (talk) 22:42, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

Anthony Appleyard I saw that, the move was requested by Gnome de Plume, however I think he made a good faith request out of misunderstanding.

You deleted List of compositions by Johannes Brahms!

What the hell are you doing?! You deleted (blanked) the entire page List of compositions by Johannes Brahms, and Undo doesn't work. Then you put a redirect line that points to itself (circular redirect). And most of the History has been removed as well, so I can't see any previous versions! I've been working very hard on this page for a couple weeks now, and the whole thing is gone. What the fuck!

Your note says you did a Page Move to this page, but the move you refer to was already done yesterday! You overwrote the new page with data from the old page which was just a redirect after yesterday's move.

Undo undo undo dude. And restore the edit history too. And while I'm here, I need to point out that the person who successfully did yesterday's move User:JalenFolf also deleted the history on the new page; it was a page name already in use and had an extensive history. Edit histories need to be preserved, by WP rule. For instance in just such an event as someone like you blanking a page! Can you restore the history User:JalenFolf deleted too?

I'm gathering you aren't a vandal, but please pay attention: the records of yesterday's move are there (still) in what's left of the history, and you should know better than to make a circular redirect. The fact that the page you moved from List of compositions by Johannes Brahms by opus number had a redirect from a move and SAID it was from a move, should have told you it's been done already. But what's the idea of deleting edit history?! You really screwed up here.

The page Wikipedia:Requests for history merge currently has a few requests from October listed under "Completed requests September 2019".

Havana D'Primera

Hello, the page that I wrote and created, Havana D'Primera, was deleted mistakenly. The page in question that you believed it was copied from actually copied the text from Wikipedia, and from my own writing.

I think the confusion arose because they copied an earlier version of the page, which was deleted before for not having enough reliable sources. It was deleted due to inactivity (I left it for a while), so I wrote a new one with more sources and this time it was accepted. The website copied the text directly from an earlier version of this page. I'm positive about that because they're my own words! Nicksufc (talk) 08:28, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Did you want to re-attach this history to the new redirect? Or delete it? My apologies if this is a standard practice that I have misunderstood. Lithopsian (talk) 14:16, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Move deleted parallel history for John Howe (Australian settler)

Your behavior is absolutely unacceptable

I caught your horrible edits to the raids article. You had the nerve to write in the edit summary that you provided references specifically "as asked", even though you just made a list of books at the bottom of the page, and did not use proper Template:Sfn citations as I specifically told you to. Also, you failed to make ANY copyedits to the list, and by doing so, you published the most god-awful unprofessional rough draft I have ever seen. It is absolutely not OK for text in a Wikipedia article to contain so many question marks (that aren't even quotes, but from a confused writer) like that. It is not acceptable to bring up Russian Wikipedia as being the source of the list in the article text. It better not be the only source, because WP:CIRCULAR is a rule. It is not unreasonable, in fact it is generous, to ask only for at least one citation per paragraph and basic copyediting so that the list is at least slightly comprehensible to an English speaker as opposed to looking like a robot spit it out. And in your reversion to the list, you brought back many other problems with the article that I spent my time taking care of - you merged the references and footnotes section and messed up many citations that I took my time finding ISBN, OCLC, author, and page number information for. THAT IS NOT OK. Put the list in your sandbox and fix it before even considering putting it back in the article, and DO NOT hit the revert button again. Damaging the article by going back to old, bad formatting just to add your precious list is not OK. Adding that list, which was trash not content, at the expense of other parts of the article IS NOT OK. You are not a new user, you should know how to edit things in your sandbox by now. And you should know better than to publish such a long amount of text that is not supported by sufficient IN LINE citations to reliable sources. Since you clearly just want to base English Wikipedia off Russian Wikipedia without any checking of Russian Wikipedia itself, perhaps you would be better off editing on Russian Wikipedia instead. You would like editing there, since most of the stuff they make is uncited like your work anyway. I hope to never see your username in the page edit history again.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 22:51, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

  • @PlanespotterA320: I directly literally translated the references that were in the Russian article ru:Крымско-ногайские набеги на Русь. (click on "История" (= "history") ("байт" = bytes)). The above complaints should be addressed to whoever wrote those parts of the Russian article. If Russian referencing is not acceptable by English standards, I will accept that. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:34, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
    • First of all it's rather generous to call what you added to the article to be a translation. It looks far more like a copy-paste google translate without any copyediting and numerous basic english errors. Just because you "translated" references listed at the bottom of the Russian page doesn't mean you provided the in-line citations required by English Wikipedia. As you know, Russian Wikipedia is far less strignent about sourcing and citation matters, resulting in hoaxes and unsourced claims being very common. Point being, if you can't support what you get from Russian Wikipedia with enough inline citations and are unwilling to do basic copyediting, don't even bother putting it in the article. This is not Russian Wikipedia, citations are not a "bonus feature" here, they are required.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
      • In case it isn't incredibly obvious - Russian Wikipedia is very lenient about sourcing stuff compared to english Wikipedia. Something being on Russian Wikipedia isn't an excuse to barf it up through google translate onto enwiki. I don't care who wrote it on ruwiki, or who brought it to enwiki; YOU restored it knowing it was poorly written, poorly sourced, and that consensus was against restoring it without SERIOUS changes. But you restored it anyway. Not ok.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 17:57, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
  • @PlanespotterA320: I understand. Thanks for pointing it out. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:37, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Re: Gas van

The original move had no discussion and no consensus supporting it (the person making it admitted it was WP:BOLD.) I'm concerned that you opened WP:RM without first reverting it (after all, that could go on for an entire week, with the page remaining split the entire time; and leaving it in this state increases the complexity of reversing the merge if, as seems likely, the discussion fails to reach a consensus to support the split.) My understanding is that the whole purpose of a "Requests to revert undiscussed moves" option is that such moves get reverted immediately, no questions asked, and then discussions are held to determine what happens. Otherwise, I mean - is your interpretation of the relevant policy that if someone (with no prior discussion or consensus) moves a page, edits the redirect, then contests the reversal of their action, their edit remains in place the entire time the RM is open, simply because, as a technical matter, it is impossible to revert without admin action? (And, to be clear, a failure to reach a consensus in the WP:RFC will result in the split being reversed - that is, the article being moved back to Gas van, correct? Since the original move was undiscussed.) Plainly moving an article and then editing the redirect to prevent revision is improper and doesn't result in Nug's proposal becoming the longstanding version we default to if he fails to produce a consensus supporting it. --Aquillion (talk) 17:24, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Eloah

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Eloah. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Elohim. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Elohim. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ~riley (talk) 07:29, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

  • @~riley: I created it as a redirect, way back at 18:53, 8 December 2004. Since then, I have not touched it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:54, 18 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi Anthony, It has been almost a year and a half since I was granted the page mover bit after which I started helping at WP:RMT. I have learnt a lot in the past months.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Proposed deletion of Northstar Electronics

Notice

The article Northstar Electronics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence this company passes WP:NCOMPANY. BEFORE doesn't show anything but mentions in passing/primary sources/press releases and like.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on History of the Hagerstown Suns/old sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Draft:Amit Ramani and User:Rishabhbehre/sandbox

I realize that this happened two weeks ago, and you might not remember everything specifically, but I have a question. You moved Draft:Amit Ramani back to User:Rishabhbehre/sandbox. This prevented my usual step of moving the sandbox back into draft space and took me a few minutes to figure out what had happened. I am planning to move the redirect into neverland so that I can move the draft back to where it belongs. Is there a reason why that is dangerous? Exactly what was done to require a histmerge? And are Rishabhbehre and Peterdeegan really two different accounts? And do you have any thoughts except that the previous versions of the BLP were not ready for mainspace? Robert McClenon (talk) 15:47, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you. I see that I replaced one of the drafts with a redirect to the other one and rejected it. I think that is that, unless one of them asks for advice at the Teahouse. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:12, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

Page moves

Hi, could you move "Chuck Hall" back to "Chuck Hall (Florida politician)", and make "Chuck Hall" a disambiguation page? That was always the intention, but the disambiguation page was quickly deleted minutes after creation, and the page for the Florida politician was moved before I could finish creating the page for the Oklahoma politician.

Also, could you take a look at "Matt Silva"? Currently, the page redirects to Buddy Murphy. I think there could be a case for Matthew Silva, the former dual code rugby player and current coach. The BBC and Wales Online, have referred to him as such, although he did go by Matthew as a player. There are two other sportsmen with similar names: a Canadian footballer (Matt Silva (soccer)) and a Portuguese footballer (Matthew Silva (footballer)), but both are too minor to be the primary topic. However, I'm not against having a disambiguation page for either name.

Many thanks, APM (talk) 13:04, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Please review WP:RMUM: If you disagree with such a move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move. A revert requested of an undiscussed move, as I made here[2], should not be contested. Please revert as requested and close the discussion you started at Talk:Cinema_of_Georgia_(country)#Requested_move_10_December_2019.

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

Brahma Chellaney

Hi Anthony, I noticed that you deleted the page "Brahma Chellaney" on grounds that it was promotional. I may be wrong but the action seems a bit drastic. The page had existed for over 10 years on Wikipedia. Professor Chellaney is a notable personality, as a quick Google search will reveal. In fact, he is one of India's best known public intellectuals.

Wikipedia pages of living personalities, at least to some degree, tend to be promotional. As you would appreciate, strictly objective pages of living persons are not easy to create.

May I request you to please reconsider your decision to delete the page? You may delete any sections that you believe to be promotional while keeping the rest. Otherwise, it might seem odd that lesser known Indian academics are featured on Wikipedia but not someone prominent like Brahma Chellaney.

Best regards. --Alpinespace (talk) 14:17, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Hi Anthony,

I sent you a request yesterday to consider restoring the page "Brahma Chellaney." In response, I received your message saying "Done." Has the page been restored? I am unable to see it.

If you have not already done so, may I again request you to please restore the page? If you need my help to clean up anything that may be promotional in nature on that page, I will be happy to help out.

Best regards. --Alpinespace (talk) 05:01, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Hi Anthony, I now see that you undeleted the page Brahma Chellaney yesterday, but a few hours later, it was deleted again. Can you please undelete the page again to give me an opportunity to revise it, including by eliminating any promotional references? Best regards. --Alpinespace (talk) 17:34, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

  • Many thanks Anthony for sharing the editable file of the deleted page "Brahma Chellaney." I need your advice, as you are an experienced and respected Wiki editor and administrator.

How to deal with some old edits in a deleted draft

Hi Anthony. Could you take a quick look at [3]? I see a bunch of edits in the deleted version, and I'm unsure if those can be deleted via G6 (which I just did). There has been a dispute for the last couple of months on whether a certain institution should be called Punjab Sports University or Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University. There have been two RM's this fall at Talk:Punjab Sports University which declined the move to the longer name. Since I haven't done a history merge lately I'm unclear on whether these old edits are deletable or if they need to be kept somewhere in mainspace.
