Contested deletion of Riscos.info

The Dirty Martini Duo

so this was a learning experience for me. Lacking WP:RS we put the BLP Prod right back on there. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 03:29, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I was following that, seems like a long path. Hopefully someone either finds sources for it, or the prod gets completed without being removed again. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:38, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jorge Camil Starr

thanks for getting the ones I missed. Also, I new there was a word I was looking for. Dloh cierekim 15:13, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 15:14, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested speedy deletion: Nappier DJ Nate Thomas

I contested the A10 speedy deletion tag you placed on Nappier DJ Nate Thomas, as it fails the "recently created" criterion (it's over 2 years old) and does not appear to duplicate the Just Blaze article to the point that it "does not expand upon, detail, or improve information" about that article. A10 is mainly for articles whose entire content is copied and pasted from another article and where the new article is not a plausible redirect to the "from" article. Another acceptable use of A10 is when an article is copied into a new title and all mentions of the original subject are replaced with mentions of the new subject, for example, copying the article Blue to a new article called Vancouver green and replacing all mentions of "blue" with "Vancouver green". —KuyaBriBri^Talk 16:04, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Um, that is exactly what the article is. It is a copied article from Just Blaze that appears to be a hoax. It just wasn't caught when originally written because the editor who reported it was using an Anon IP. It is at AfD now and people are recommending speedy deletion actually based upon the hoax angle. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:08, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Consider me WP:TROUTed. I didn't dig far back enough in the history of Just to see that you are exactly right on the copy-paste count. And if A10 was around in March 2009 and you had caught it then, it absolutely would have applied. But as it stands today it still fails the "recently created" criterion of A10. I fully support a G3 speedy deletion as blatant hoax and will post diffs on the AfD shortly. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:34, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 19:21, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Derty sesh

Hello ConcernedVancouverite. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Derty sesh to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 00:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. But it appears that it was deleted by another administrator already without waiting for the expiration of the PROD. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Altered speedy deletion rationale: Dat Good

Hello ConcernedVancouverite. I am just letting you know that I deleted Dat Good, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 03:27, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know. It had struck me that the portion of A3 that reads, "This also applies to articles consisting entirely of the framework of the Article wizard with no additional content beyond the above." applied. But G2 works too. Thanks. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I rewrote the page and left it in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Wikilawrenceolivier/City_models a draft space please have a look and comment if needed so we avoid this useless deletion process after this i ll write the missing pages for the major agencies worldwide there are many missing ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikilawrenceolivier (talk • contribs) 18:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The page was speedy deleted because it was written in an advertising like tone. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising. You can read over the guidelines on how to write a good Wikipedia article here: Wikipedia:How_to_write_a_great_article. Please also read over the guidelines on notability and learn how to include references to reliable sources to confirm any claims of notability. Please note that representing famous people does not create notability, as notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. If you need help re-writing, or advice on an article in your userspace, please place an editor assistance request using the following: Wikipedia:Editor_assistance#Posting_a_request_for_assistance. Best of luck. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging Jorge Camil Starr

I understand the reason that you placed 6 tags on the Jorge Camil Starr article, but I've removed two of them because they overlap with other more specific tags. I've done this to satisfy the policy on overtagging which suggests that 6 tags is excessive, especially when some of them are closely related. --Mrmatiko (talk) 18:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears multiple editors added tags around the same time. Thank you for consolidating them into a single listing. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 21:35, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cold Rock Ice Creamery

Hey, seeing as you've taken an interest in this article, would you like to help and edit and bring up to par? Also, what's the problem with this reference (other than the formatting and lack of in-text stuff) - http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-3189769/Cold-Rock-Ice-Creamery-grows.html ? I didn't understand your reason for the edit, "References: removing citations that were passing references, or behind paywals". P.S - I love your 'dated info' tag in the history section. Tinkstar1985 17:31, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The issue with that reference is that it is behind a paywall so it can not be read by users without registering. We tend to avoid those. If this is such a large chain there should be much better secondary reliable sources available in mainstream news outlets. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:49, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
