Speedy Deletion Converted to PROD: Felisha Terrell

Hello Fribbulus Xax, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged (Felisha Terrell) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow, and do not fit the page in question. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any queries, please let me know. Thanks again! decltype (talk) 09:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

No probs – I'll keep an eye on it. Cheers. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 09:45, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Great. I saw your comment on the talk page, and I agree with your assessment, it's not enough for WP:ENTERTAINER, but WP:CSD#A7 requires less, thus PROD. Regards, decltype (talk) 09:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Glastonbury 2009 wristband

So, you managed to remove your wristband without breaking it, did you? --Rebroad (talk) 17:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Not quite... I stuck a metal skewer into it and wiggled until it loosened and I could slide it off – they'd put it on quite tight this year. Usually I keep the wristband on for a while – I find it's a good conversation starter with strangers who've also been. I do have a tan line from where it was, though!

Edits on Gooroo Software entry

Hi, and thanks for your notes and edits on this entry. I am Gooroo's UK PR contact, but I felt I was careful not to include any unsubstantiated claims or hyperbole for the company and solutions. I also linked only to credible IT media sources. Just wanted to explain where I was coming from. Craig.Coward (talk) 11:00 GMT, 9 July 09 —Preceding undated comment added 09:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC).

Re: CSD noms

I probably went a little whole hog, but the articles were tagged as such because of the inappropriate nonsense Hoklo9999 was adding to them, such as "The Phrase 'Fuck Off And Die' Is Sexual Harasment Like Saying 'Go Fuck Your Penis.' " He continued posting material like that despite warnings from myself and another user to stop, which constitutes vandalism. sixtynine ^{• spill it •} 00:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you, but can't help feel that this user has been somewhat bitten. Perhaps that's me assuming too much good faith, but it seems on the whole they've tried to create articles on legitimate Green Day songs – without realising our original research policy and guidelines on profanity. In terms of the articles, I've redirected or rewritten (wikified/stubbed) them where appropriate.

I must note that the warning given by Coffee was for a slightly different article (although named similarly, it contained no suitable content – clearly speedy deletable). I think it would be best to show the user what's wrong with the articles rather than going straight in with a block – after all, they've been registered less than a day and are unlikely to know how the whole thing works. Thanks for your input. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 00:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, they're undeniably vandalising now, ClueBot got it. There goes my friendly introduction... :) Fribbulus Xax (talk) 00:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Efestivals screen.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Efestivals screen.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Diversity (dance troupe)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Diversity (dance troupe). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Diversity (dance troupe) (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you check ...

... the infoboxes for Hoe Benham, Wickham Heath, Wickham, Berkshire and Ownham that you created last year? I think the constituency is not right and the councils mentioned (metropolitan) seem out of place in this rural area. Best Wishes Saga City (talk) 15:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll see what I can do. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 15:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Purugu

Hi. I noticed that you changed the PROD on this article to a dictionary redirect. No problem with that, except the redirect misses one bit of the original, namely that it's in Telugu. Favonian (talk) 20:41, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, looks like that was some sort of edit conflict. Is there a template that would suit this better, or would you be happier with the delete? I'm cool either way – I'd only made it as a soft redirect after a quick search for the term at Wiktionary. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 21:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Linking to Wiktionary is probably the best solution, but I've changed the key from "insect" to "purugu". That way you can actually see that a) it can mean either insect or worm, and b) it's Telugu. Favonian (talk) 10:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Coolio. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 10:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Double L

Why do you keep deleting my Musician Profile? I dont't understand what I'm doing wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndItsDoubleL (talk • contribs)

Probably because it fails WP:MUSICBIO miserably. Favonian (talk) 11:03, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

(EC) The reason I nominated the article you created for deletion (I am not an administrator so don't have the ability to delete articles) is that it does not show why it passes our notability guidelines for musicians. Remember that we don't exist as a personal web site provider; we're not MySpace. Check out the general notability guidelines for the absolute basics of what an article like this should be able to do.

Challenge to your deletion

You deleted my user page because it looked like another page.

That is because there are 56 Army National Guard CST's in the US that fall in each state's jurisdiction. The page you said that mine mirrored is probably because some of the verbiage is pulled directly from the CST charter from the National Guard Bureau. You referenced another state's CST page. When my page is published/launched, I want Maryland first responders to know who we are, what we do, and how to get ahold of us. The page you referenced is only good for that state. Please put my page back or inform me how to get my unit's information on there. Thank you Acollins17 (talk) 00:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)Drew

I blanked (rather than deleted) your user page as it was a copyright violation – this is irrespective of any other page I may or may not have tagged. As I said on your talk page, if you wish to use this content, there are steps to take to allow its use. As it sounds like you have a link with the web site in question, you can follow the "donating copyrighted materials" route. However, I suggest you read our guidelines on conflict of interest. As I said in my original post, copied text (even with permission) is often biased – and so not suitable. It seems you may misunderstand Wikipedia; we don't provide a service to allow groups to communicate with people (that's what web sites are for). We aim to document organisations and groups that conform with our notability guidelines. If the CST article is notable (and worthy of inclusion), the page would not serve as a way of finding out "who [we] are, what [we] do, and how to get ahold of [us]".

As a next step I feel it may be worthwhile to follow the steps at WP:AFC to submit a draft article for review before it is fully included on the site. If you have any more questions, I'd be more than happy to help. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 01:04, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Day Turns Night band page on Wikipedia

Hi there,

what contribution would be considered of significance? I feel this is very well presented and documents a respected individual or groups efforts to make themselves more 'present' on the cyber arena. I would like to call on point 7 of notability guide for musicians stating: Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

I will follow up on this motion with references form published media

Sarge d' Night (talk) 12:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

If you can reference that the band pass this particular criterion then of course the article would stay. To pass it would have to comply with the general notability guideline, which basically states that it must have multiple coverage by reliable third-party sources. If you have any trouble with the referencing of the article, I'd be more than happy to help – just let me know. Cheers, Fribbulus Xax (talk) 12:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I would appreciate your assistance greatly. I will review the general notability guideline. Also go through the reliable third-party sources document.

Thank you
