File:Greater rayalaseema.jpg

If there is no existence of any such region, why there is a file? Earlier an article of the same user was deleted at Greater Rayalaseema.--Vin09 (talk) 05:55, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

@Vin09: I actually am going to take this file to Files for Deletion myself. Speedy deletion is the wrong process in this situation, FfD is more appropriate. I will make the nomination in just a moment. Safiel (talk) 05:56, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

David Teeuwen

Thanks Safiel, for responding.

I'm not sure how to dispute an article. I am extremely unsavy at wiki editing. I would say that David Teeuwen doesn't warrant a page. The page seemed to be created two days after he died, as a tribute.

The claim is the he was "a pioneer of digital news." The only reference to this seemed to be in the obituary written by his employer.

I'll point out that of the three references, #1 is just a badly translated (broken English, see "USA Nowdays" instead of "USA Today") copy of reference #2. That is, The first two references are the same obituary, just one copied onto another site. And reference #3 no longer exists.

Basically, it appears someone read the USA Today obituary, and created a wikipedia entry.

Best to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.231.249.138 (talk) 04:44, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Alex Wiesman

I may be nominating it for the wrong type of deletion. But he does not warrant a page. You can pick any semi successful regional actor and create a simmilar looking page. It also seems to me that the page is being used as his personal website and promotional tool. He does not have his own website which further leads to my suspicion that the page is being used as a free webpage instead of paying for a domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.72.205.3 (talk) 13:22, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Other article I could use your opinion on

Hi, so I was the one who found a bunch of "pillory" articles while doing a search for military imposters, one being James Shortt. I would like your take on another, Alan Mcilwraith. Like Shortt, he is not notable in any particular way and the article content is almost entirely focused on pointing and laughing at him. I raised issue with this article but was shot down by a single user who promised to raise a stink if I nominated the article, but failed to make any compelling arguments. Again, the Mcilwraith article is sourced, but there is no evidence of notability other than on-wiki (he tried to make an article about himself) or persistence.Legitimus (talk) 16:09, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

@Legitimus: I will take a look at it. Safiel (talk) 16:16, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

@Cadeymar: This is a poorly designed, poorly documented and poorly implemented template, designed to add color to railway infoboxes in several article. However, it is used in a number of articles and deleting it would mess all those articles up. The best thing to do is just leave it alone.

I am also surprised that everybody can put inaccurate informations on wikipedia without getting deleted in a few days, it is very unprofessional.

PROD after AFD

How can I get China Next Generation Internet deleted if nobody chimes in on an AFD and I can't PROD it anymore? I get the feeling that had I just prodded first, without going through AFD, the article would be gone now. Nobody seems to care about this. --Ysangkok (talk) 08:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Page for Dan Schneider

RE: request for PROD of Dan_Schneider_(writer): Reference links provided in support of user are either all dead or were nonexistent to begin with.

  • I understand that this has been brought up before, and denied, but if the article is edited to remove misleading or false links, there will be ZERO supporting evidence that the page is valid whatsoever, which is my point. There is nothing to suggest that this person is noteworthy in the least, nor anything to support that assertion. This needs to be take higher, it seems to me, given the suspicious nature of this article being allowed to remain. Thanks! Rik Halvorsen (talk) 01:08, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

BLP tagging

In March 2012, you added two BLP tags, {{BLP sources}} and {{BLP primary sources}} to the article now titled Lincoln Birch.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joox (music streaming)

Hi there, I saw that you closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joox (music streaming) as "no consensus. Insufficient participation after relist." I'm intrigued to know why you chose not to relist it again, as they can be relisted up to two times. I also can see that in your archives, another editor has brought this up. Was there any reason why you chose not to relist it? jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:14, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

@Jcc: To be blunt, in my experience, I have found that shutting down an AfD and starting an new AfD results in more participation than attempting to relist multiple times. I shut it down and then immediately started a second AfD, which appears to have enough participation at this time to result in successful deletion of the article. Of course, that is just my personal opinion on how to do things, but for me personally, closing and restarting seems to work better than multiple relistings when participation is low.

CFD

Hey you Removed the CFD on Category:Colonia, for one, how could roman colony be better than Colonia, the actual word for it? For two, please dont remove CSD's.Iazyges (talk) 04:03, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

  • @Iazyges: I can remove speedy deletion tags if they are inappropriate. Go ahead and delete Category:Colonia if you like. However, you can't simply move a long standing category such as Category:Roman colonies which has existed for several years, without obtaining community consensus to do so. You need to go to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion and follow the instructions for nominating a category for renaming. Don't attempt to unilaterally move or rename the category without discussion. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 04:41, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
@Safiel: I have done it, I was planning on doing it alone purely because Colonia is the actual word for it, so it makes little to no sense to have it be roman colonies. Iazyges (talk) 04:59, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
@Iazyges: Just a note that I have formally objected to the speedy rename request. It will likely be moved to the regular rename process that lasts 7 days. Safiel (talk) 05:45, 7 September 2016 (UTC)

Elizabeth Ulanova page deletion

Contrary to your baseless claim, the Elizabeth L Ulanova page did indeed meet criteria for speedy deletion, and was deleted under criteria WP:A7 (speedy deletion: no indication of importance). That is, the earlier A7 tag was valid. When uncertain of Wikipedia guidelines, please exercise caution in removing such templates in the future, and refrain from editing hastily.

Refer to: 01:23, 20 September 2016 Drmies (talk | contribs) deleted page Elizabeth L Ulanova (A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events): earlier A7 tag (or attempt thereto) was in fact valid — Preceding unsigned comment added by IcarusLivesX (talk • contribs) 22:58, September 19, 2016 (UTC)

@IcarusLivesX: Before you go around lecturing other users about policy, I suggest when you do, that you 1. Place new posts UNDER existing posts on a talk page and 2. SIGN your posts. Doesn't look to good to be lecturing other users about policy when you yourself are getting it wrong.

  • As for policy itself. Criteria A7 for deletion states that an article may be speedily deleted if "It does not make a credible assertion of significance for the subject of the article." If it makes any credible assertion of significance, the article should not be tagged for speedy deletion and instead it should be taken to Proposed Deletion or Articles for Deletion. If there is ANY doubt as to whether a credible assertion of significance exists, a user should err on the side of caution and use PROD or AfD instead of speedy deletion.
  • I have tagged on the order of thousands of articles for speedy deletion. I have also removed hundreds of speedy deletion tags from articles when I felt the criteria did not properly apply.
  • You, on the other hand, have slightly over 400 edits TOTAL and about 6 months of experience.
  • I saw the administrators little snark on the deletion summary. Very unprofessional on his part. And administrators have no additional standing or authority above that of ordinary users. They merely have access to tools unavailable to ordinary users. I have seen a number of administrators that were deopped for abuse of tools and many administrators have circumvented policy. Just because something comes out of an administrators mouth does NOT make it right.
  • I suggest YOU gain more experience and learn about policy BEFORE you take it upon yourself to lecture other users. Safiel (talk) 21:37, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

"Policy"

  • There was absolutely no doubt of any kind regarding the existence of a "credible assertion of significance" on the page, and therefore, the page met criteria for speedy deletion. Not to mention, essentially none of the links actually worked, and the ones that did had no mention of the subject.
  • The main source was the subject's personal blog. The deleted Wikipedia article was a mini-biography written by the subject herself, and it contained absolutely no credible assertion of significance. Therefore, your assertion that "If it makes any credible assertion of significance, the article should not be tagged for speedy deletion and instead it should be taken to Proposed Deletion or Articles for Deletion. If there is ANY doubt as to whether a credible assertion of significance exists, a user should err on the side of caution and use PROD or AfD instead of speedy deletion" did NOT apply here.
  • Whether or not you've made one or ten thousand edits/tags is irrelevant here. It doesn't follow logically that because of your experience, everything that comes out of your mouth is right. By the same token, my lack of "experience" doesn't automatically preclude me from making any appraisals regarding speedy deletions. While I'm sure you're quite knowledgeable, I think it was quite clear that the page was devoid of any credible claim of significance, and the fact that the admin agreed is a testament to that.
  • It seems you're quite upset, and I'm sure you may disagree with all of this; in that case, I suppose we will just have to agree to disagree.

Take care, and have a great day! ;) IcarusLivesX (talk) 23:35, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Namco X series deletion?

Hi there, you assured me that the Namco X series re-direct would be deleted in under a week if nobody contested against it during that time, It's been over a week, the former redirect is not going to be used by anyone henceforth as to why it'd be ideal for it to be deleted. Iftekharahmed96 (talk) 21:18, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

@Iftekharahmed96: Unfortunately, they are backlogged at Redirects for Discussion and the closure process is somewhat delayed. That happens. Nothing to do but wait for them to catch up. Once they do it will be deleted as nobody has objected to the deletion. In any event, the redirect is not hurting anything. Please be patient. Be glad that this is not a FILE we are talking about here. That process has been known to get backlogged to six months. We are looking at a week or two backlog here.

So recently you turned Go! Kids into an redirect to 9Go!, yet the page hasn't been merged into 9Go! by you yet. Because of this, I have undone your edits and will keep the page forever (Like I said in the deletion discussion).

Bayt.com

Thank you for proposing this article for afD - I had missed that this article already went through an afD (will the result being delete), so this article is most likely a candidate for speedy deletion G4 - just wanted you to know why the afD template was automatically removed (when I nominated for CSD), and if this pans the deletion discussion will take place! Thanks, Garchy (talk) 18:15, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

  • @Garchy: I see the page has already been deleted under CSD G4 and I have closed the AfD discussion page. Thanks. Safiel (talk) 18:45, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

could you please be more careful...

The record shows that you moved the misnamed User:USS_Cole_bombing_video to Draft:USS_Cole_bombing_video, but, in doing so, you didn't leave a collegial heads-up on the talk-page of the person who started the draft.

I was the one who moved the original article USS_Cole_bombing_video to User:USS_Cole_bombing_video. I started USS Cole bombing video many years ago, when the wikipedia had frankly looser inclusion standards. When I come across an article I started, years ago, that measured up to the wikipedia's inclusion standards current when they were started, but which I was concerned didn't measure up to the stricter inclusion standards of today, I take a look to see if any edits made since I started the article had added any editorial content. Commonly, while other contributors will have edited the article, all of those edits will either be corrections to the article's spelling, grammar, punctuation, or will be changes to the article's internal metadata -- invisible to our readers.

If no one else has added any editorial content, I think I am authorized to place a {{g7}} on the article -- deletion requested by sole author. Alternately, if I think the material can be brought up to our current standards, or placed in a sub-section of another article, I think I am authorized to remove the article from article space, by moving it to a subpage under User:Geo Swan, for review at my leisure.

That would have been my intent here.

I found it extremely unfortunate that you didn't contact me. I am sorry you didn't either leave me a collegial heads-up, telling me of your move, or alternatively left me a question asking what the heck I thought I was doing, instead of moving it to draft space.

Yesterday, I got a heads-up on my talk page that Draft:USS_Cole_bombing_video was about to be deleted, because it had sat in draft space for six months, without being edited.

I knew I had never started anything in the draft namespace.

I write on controversial topics. This has pretty regularly made my efforts the target of disruptive edits by bad faith POV pushing vandals. I try to roll with this, but I am only human, and I can't help getting furious when it seems I am being targeted by vandals. It took me about fifteen minutes to figure out you were operating in good faith. During those fiftenn minutes the only explanation for the unexplained movement of material I was working on to the draft space was that one of those petty vandals was targetting me again.

Until I figured that out I was as angry as if my efforts had been disrupted by a vandal.

Yes, I now realize you were well-intentioned, not a vandal. But I also think you acted quite thoughtlessly.

So, I am going to ask you to be more careful, in future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geo_Swan (talk • contribs) 17:59, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Removing speedy tags/replacing speedy tags

Hi, Safiel! I saw you changed the custom speedy tag that indicated Stanley A. Motta was largely spammy/promo. I purposely used a custom criteria so that I could indicate a G11 deletion but explain why and perhaps engage other editors to create a new article that is not as spammy rather than a normal templated CSD. What reasoning was there for removing my comment? I also noticed that you removed another editors A7 speedy here but there is no criteria that prevents deletion just because it has a history. Though the history is what matters, if prior edits established notability. I don't know that is the case in the article but your comment implying that an article can't qualify for A7 simply based on age is confusing and wrong. Cheers!

Deprodding of TVPaint Animation

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from TVPaint Animation, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Minami Itahashi AFD

Thanks for taking a second look at the above AFD. If you come across similar articles in the future, please drop me a line and I'll see if I can help. I came across this one because it was listed in the daily article alert for the Japanese WikiProject. But sometimes they don't get listed if the project's banner is missing from the article's talk page. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 05:01, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Nomination of List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of federal judges appointed by Donald Trump until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Carl Fredrik 💌 📧 12:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Bowling Green Massacre

Okay. But there was one comment made that I will not repeat that did need blanking because it really was a BLP violation. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:30, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

USS ENTERPRISE page

After having been assigned to USS ENTERPRISE CVN65, I am trying to figure out why I can no longer edit the page.

I have contributed quite a bit to the page

What can we do to unprotect it. I have many private photos that I would like to add

Thanks

  • @Oldnavy1024: The page was protected due to vandalism and the protection lasts until January 18, 2018. However, I look at your contribution history and you should have enough edits to be autoconfirmed, but your account does not show you as being autoconfirmed. Lemme see if I can point you to the right help desk. Let me look and hopefully I will have you a link within a few minutes. Safiel (talk) 05:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
  • @Oldnavy1024: Try asking at Wikipedia:Help desk. Since your account is old enough and has about 35 edits, you should be autoconfirmed and thus able to edit the Enterprise article, but your account does not show as being autoconfirmed. Unfortunately, I can not really give you any more help beyond this, as I am not an administrator, but good luck. Safiel (talk) 05:10, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
