Merging pages

Thanks for the info on merging pages. I realized that I made the mistake on the Ohio Institute of Photography and Technology page and I was trying to figure out how to delete the incorrect page. Looks like you got it taken care of for me. I appreciate the help. I hope I get this all figured out so I can keep making contribution! Thanks!--Jtknowles (talk) 22:14, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No problem! :) Cunard (talk) 22:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about deleting page

I recently received your email about deleting the ASPEN 360 Accounts Payable Edition page. I checked the links that you sent and I'm not sure why this page is being deleted. I read the guidelines and didn't notice anything that pertained to this entry. Please let me know the reason for deletion so I can avoid this in the future. Thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aspen360 (talk • contribs) 14:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

The ASPEN 360 Accounts Payable Edition was deleted because it was advertising for a company (see WP:Spam). The article may also have met the notability guidelines. If you have any further questions, please ask the administrator who deleted the page User:Seicer (talk). This editor will be able to better explain why ASPEN 360 Accounts Payable Edition was deleted. Hope this helps! Cunard (talk) 19:53, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about deleting another page

I am not sure why you are deleting the Soul Generation page. Citing "(A7 (group): Group/band/club/company/etc; doesn't indicate importance/significance)" does not tell me anything. using this criteria why not delete en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Sister or en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perri_Reid; Their Importance or Significance to music as a whole are no different then Soul Generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stallsmithb (talk • contribs) 19:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I did not delete Soul Generation [1] ⎯ an administrator did. Soul Generation was deleted because the content in the article did not show that this band is significant. In response to why Twisted Sister is not deleted, this band has produced some hit songs. For example, We're Not Gonna Take It (Twisted Sister song) was a hit song in 1984. This "single reached #21 on the Billboard Hot 100." Also, I Wanna Rock is another hit song by this band. It reached "#68 on the Billboard Chart in November of 1984." These achievements make them notable enough that many people will want to read an article about them. Perri Reid is notable because she founded the TLC (band). This band is "one of the best selling girl groups of all time." TLC has "sold over 45 million records worldwide." Her achievements are remarkable because she started one of the most successful bands ever. If you can prove that the band Soul Generation also has these types of notable achievements, then the article will will deserve to stay on Wikipedia. Even though Wikipedia nearly has a lot of disk space, we cannot have articles about everything. The articles that remain on Wikipedia are articles that people are interested in. Since Twisted Sister and Perri Reid have so many significant contributions to our society, people from all around the world will be interested about them. The bottom line is: if Soul Generation doesn't have these types of notable accomplishments, then they won't have an article on Wikipedia. However, if you think that the band meets our criteria at WP:BAND, then you can appeal the deletion at WP:DRV. Good luck! Cunard (talk) 23:09, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about deleting a page of a famous historical figure page

I was just starting a page for Reverend David McGregore and editing in the references, and 5 minutes later, along comes Mr. Anal Retentive and deletes it in its infancy, what’s with you, do you automatically delete anything first and ask questions later? Do you do any kind of research before shooting down a factual posting? You just ticked me off, I think you see where I am heading, but I’d better stop before you cop an attitude towards me.

Edit conflict

Hi. I just want to remind you to watch for Edit conflicts when saving pages. When you added a request at WP:RFPP, you saved over a new version of the page. See here. So, when you get an edit conflict, please don't save the page, but go back and re-add your comment on the new version. Please read Help:Edit conflict for more information. Also, add new requests for protection to the top of the section, not the bottom. Thanks, - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for the reminder! Cunard (talk) 21:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Thomas Moorcroft/Regulus Black

I can confirm that he is playing Regulus in the new film. Mainly because he is me :) and I've just done some filming with Jim Broadbent this past Wednesday. TheHeartbreakKid15 (talk) 18:47, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Very interesting! Do have any sources or links to prove that you really are Thomas Moorcroft and that Thomas Moorcroft is really playing Regulus Black? Cunard (talk) 19:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I can give you my email address, my personal facebook, bebo and myspace pages if you want and i can tell you personally about it. I was notified of getting the part last august, went up for a wig fitting in December, costume fit in January, another one last week and the final filming was this past Wednesday at Leavesden studios. TheHeartbreakKid15 (talk) 19:37, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to give me any of your personal information. I believe what you say but I'm still not sure if you are notable enough as a number of the Harry Potter cast members do not have articles (see List of Harry Potter cast members). I'll let more experienced editors take a look at it [2]. BTW, good job for landing the part of Regulus Black. Cheers! Cunard (talk) 00:59, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Question about deleting Jayms Madison page

Jayms Madison has worked with Jay Z and Ghostface Killah and has written for Taylor Dane. I dont not understand why her page was deleted... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siiren (talk • contribs) 20:28, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

The page for Jayms Madison was deleted because even though she has worked for notable people, she does not have any notable accomplishments herself. For her to have an article on Wikipedia, she must be notable. If you think that her page was deleted in error, you can contact one of these admins to get your page back so that you won't need to start over again. Cunard (talk) 20:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

HER NOTICEABLE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE APPEARING ON THEIR ALBUMS AND SONGWRITING ON THEIR ALBUMS... WHAT MORE DOES SHE HAVE TO DO? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siiren (talk • contribs) 23:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

If you believe that Jayms Madison is notable and should have a page on Wikipedia, please raise her notability and why she deserves an article at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks! Cunard (talk) 01:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Im not trying to be an asshole but this wikipedia debating system is very hard to use... its like a a maze... I see the points as simple... she songwrote and was featured on two major label rap albums... one of which went platinum and was nominated for a Grammy. I dont see how shes not notable when we have other songwriters and performers on this site that have done much less. Sometimes I think whoever is in charge here gets power hungry... lol. Does she have to be Beyonce to get a page? CRAZINESS. Shes a notable songwriter/singer because her lyrics/vocals are found on Grammy nominated material... which was also a soundtrack to a major movie. And everytime I try to explain that, one of you guys direct me to someone else. lol... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siiren (talk • contribs) 12:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Since you consider Jayms Madison to be notable, I recommend you to request one of these admins to provide you with Jayms Madison's article that was deleted. Then you should re-write the article to meet the notability guidelines. You should also provide references for what you write in the article. The most important thing is that the article must show why Jayms Madison is notable and why she should have an article on Wikipedia. But a Google search shows very few hits for Jayms Madison, so I'm not sure if she would pass an AfD. You may want to choose another notable songwriter to write an article about, see this. Good luck!

WP:UAA

Hello, just to let you know, since Wikipedia is not censored, a username having the word "porn" in it may not necessarily be a violation of the username policy. In this case, however, I have still blocked the username as it was being used to promote that particular person. Thanks for your help, I just wanted to point that out. Happy editing.

Okay. Cunard (talk) 20:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

First Post: Shapiro (band)

I've started a talk page to prevent the quick deletion of my article Shapiro (band). Please let me know what else I can do to prevent this article from being deleted. --Daniel W. White (talk) 22:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

You must show that this band is worthy of having an article on Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Notability (music)). A Google search shows few results for this specific band, so it might not be notable enough to be on Wikipedia. Has this band produced any hit songs? Has this band performed at any important ceremony (e.g. Oscars)? If not, they might not pass the notability guidelines on Wikipedia. Cunard (talk) 22:49, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Do I need to show their worthiness via the article or to you? The artist is currently working with the producer for Ben Folds, Sixpence None the Richer, Death Cab for Cutie. They are playing a nationally recognized festival on the eastcoast next weekend called MACROCK. By googling the bands name, you find their website(s) as the top hits. They've toured nationally and been recongized for it through blogs, newspaper coverage (articles found on their .com) and multiple radio interivews/coverage.
