Do you think some salt would be appropriate? Also, could you give me the names of the recent recreators so I can check for similar-named article creation? Thanks. ^Bongo_matic 01:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• I've salted -- I checked the other two users who created this page, and they haven't done anything else bad. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 01:04, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks & cheers, ^Bongo_matic 01:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Are you kidding me?

Why would you delete my Retro Fox page! It deserve's to be on this website.

• Not if it doesn't assert notability per WP:CORP, it doesn't. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• How about you help me out by doing that for me instead? TheFoxIsBack (talk) 01:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• • No, as the proponent of the article, that's your job. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:21, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I know I haven't made many Wiki entries, however, after 100 podcasts over so many years and a rich background, after deleting my page seconds after it was created... I think you're taking your job a little /too/ seriously.

• See WP:BIO and WP:V - lots of people have 100 podcasts. You need to show that this person has been recognized as notable by independent sources. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
• I hardly see the New York Times covering this guy. I think you're biased. I'll find something about him getting a key to the city or whatever is sufficient for you to deem him worthy.
  • He's a contributor to the Urban Dictionary - http://www.urbandictionary.com/author.php?author=Dante3000
  • I found him featured on http://www.suburbanhomerecords.com/category/drunk-dial-hotline/page/2/

• Anyone can contribute to Urban Dictionary, and the second source is a blog. You should read WP:RS to see what sources are considered reliable. NawlinWiki (talk) 01:43, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Runescape help for newbies

Hi there Nawlin. I saw you said that Runescape help for newbies was an expired PROD in your deletion reason, but I'd only added the PROD tag a few minutes before, and it looked like a user was attempting to contest the deletion. Although you also said it was spam/advertising (WP:CSD#G11), which would overrule the PROD, except from I can't recall seeing anything on the page which sounded like spam. Although that is from memory. Best, - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• The user was trying to advertise her Runescape site, which she had also created a separate article for. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:53, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

  Ah I see, I saw on the user's talk page that you had deleted another page, but I didn't get a chance to look at it. By the way, do you think you could let the IP address who commented on Talk:Runescape help for newbies that I have replied on Emily ht's talk page (they are almost certainly the same person, but better safe then sorry). I'd do so myself, but again, I can't see who it was. Thanks - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 16:57, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

  • Copied the comments to the IP talk page. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:00, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

    Thanks Nawlin - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Zurb

Hello, just noticed that Zurb wikipedia page was deleted. Can you state the reason? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.144.253.52 (talk) 18:17, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• Because it didn't assert that the company was notable per WP:CORP (doing work for notable clients doesn't make you notable). The three sources cited were the company's own website (twice) and what appears to be a PR release. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:58, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

ZURB does comply with WR:CORP. There are a number of credible third party sources which have reviewed ZURB, here are just some:

Can we list the proper references on the article?
