He there. You inadvertantly warned CesareDunker (talk · contribs) about the speedy deletion tag, when the actual user who created it was Lee hldn (talk · contribs). FYI. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:52, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure of the notability, the the user seems to have created to identical articles. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 21:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not sure why you're asking me? I steer clear of album/song articles, as I don't know much about that world, and as far as I can see such notability rules as we have are not much enforced. I guess one of these is a mistaken title - perhaps ask the author which he wants to keep? JohnCD (talk) 21:21, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John, My first article (Flight Options) was deleted yesterday, I'm still a rookie at effectively using wiki. How can I adjust this article to get it up without it being tagged for deletion?

Deletion of BYU Ph.D. Prep track

Deletion of BYU Ph.D. Prep track

I admit that the original post to this page was not very good. I was planning on improving it. Here is an improved version of the Ph.D. prep track. The page was deleted because it was not considered "notable." I think it is "worthy of notice" and the American Accounting Association agrees. The Prep Track is being heralded as a potential solution to the critical shortage of accounting PhDs. As such, it is "worthy of notice." You will notice that a reliable source (the American Accounting Association gave the program an award (they are an independent organization from the program) and that it has been mentioned in their newsletter (see here. There is objective evidence concerning the program based on where graduates have gone and where they are now, and there is objective evidence of its existence (it is referred to on the Marriott School's webpage under the accounting program (see here) and by the awards and other metnions. Under the description of notable organizations, the prep track fits several of the criteria. It is not small. It is a non-profit organization that has a national/international scope (it has placed students in Spain). It has longevity--been in existence since 1994 informally and formally since 2000. It has received internaional recognition from the American Accounting Association.

Based on this evidence, the page is notable and deserving of an entry. Please unlock the page so I can include the text listed below.

BYU Accounting Ph.D. prep track is part of the masters of accountancy program designed to train prepare accounting students to enter into a Ph.D. program upon finishing their Master in Accountancy degree. As of 2008, accounting academia is suffering from a significant shortage of accounting professors and is projected to face even more significant shortages in the future.[1] The BYU Ph.D. prep track has been recognized as one possible method for increasing the supply of accounting Ph.D.’s to lessen the effect of this shortage.

History of Ph.D. Prep Track

The Ph.D. prep track began unofficially in 1994 by BYU accounting faculty member Doug Prawitt. Doug noticed several students who had a desire to enter a Ph.D. program but had very little idea what earning a Ph.D. entailed. To better prepare these students, Doug suggested classes they take before entering their program and educated them on life as Ph.D. student. This early program served to help nine students prepare for accounting academia.

The program began in greater earnest between 2000 and 2001, as Doug required application to the program and more formally recruited students into the program. In 2002, seven students finished the program and entered Ph.D. programs. Thereafter, the program has placed between four and nine students each year into Ph.D. programs across the country.

Results of Ph.D. Prep Track

The Ph.D. Prep Track has been highly successful placing students into highly regarded accounting research institutions including: Arizona State University, Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Duke University, Emory University, Indiana University, Michigan State University, Northwestern University, The Ohio State University, Stanford University, University of Arizona, University of Chicago, University of Georgia, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, University of North Carolina, University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, University of Texas, University of Utah, University of Washington[2]. Individuals who have gone through the Ph.D. Prep Track and gone on to finish their Ph.D.s have likewise been successful in placing at highly regarded accounting research institutions[3].

The Ph.D. Prep Track was recognized by the American Accounting Association with the prestigious 2007 Innovation in Accounting Education Award [4].

One of the benefits of the program is that graduates of the program are highly likely to continue in a Ph.D. program and not drop the program once it has started. Between 1994 and 2007, 51 students graduated from the program and entered a Ph.D. program. As of 2008, 49 of those students were still working towards the completion of a Ph.D. or had graduated and taken a job as an accounting professor.

  • I'm afraid I can't unlock your page, because I am an ordinary editor on just the same footing as you. When I have time I help with "New Page Patrol", looking at newly arrived articles and flagging any that seem to need attention. When I saw yours, I tagged it as promotion and put on your user page a welcome message with useful links and an explanatory note. Then an administrator working down the list of tagged pages looked at it, agreed, and deleted it. I see from the deletion log that the page was created and deleted three times, and it was then "salted" - protected to prevent re-creation. You will need permission from an admin, perhaps one of the two who deleted it, before you can re-create the page.
Before you ask permission, I urge you to read carefully the Business' FAQ and the guidelines on Conflict of Interest, Neutral Point of View and Advertising to which it will point you. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or even a notice-board. An admin will probably need to be convinced that your article will comply with the guidelines before he will allow you to re-create it.
One last point - when leaving a message on a talk page, it is useful to end it with four tilde characters ~~~~ - the system automatically converts them into a signature with time and date, so that the recipient knows who the message is from - like this: JohnCD (talk) 11:52, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Steve Hiller credibility

You deleted my Steve Hiller wikipedia under section 997pi which totally not constitutional. As a member of the Martians, the band fool, Steve Hiller was very influencial. Your credibility as a member of the wikiNation is suspect. In conclusion, I leave you with a quote to ponder...

"Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way?", Derek Zoolander —Preceding unsigned comment added by L130115 (talk • contribs) 15:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gabriel Levin

The page, wroten in that way, looks like a joke or a big mess. It is also the e-mail address and an e-mail content of the author ... Is it permitted ? I know that for "credits" it's used the talk page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.18.159.132 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • The page needs improving, but it doesn't qualify for speedy deletion. I have tidied it up a bit and moved the "permissions" bit, which doesn't seem to me necessary, to the talk page so that it is preserved.
The acceptable reasons for speedy deletion are actually quite restricted - read WP:CSD. If you are putting a speedy tag on, it is best to use one of the standard ones, like {{db-person}} or {{db-spam}}; if you can't find one that fits, it probably means the page doesn't qualify for a speedy. Also, deletion should be a last resort, used only if there is no way an article can be improved to be useful - read WP:DELETE. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:14, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Post-transcriptional regulation

I removed the copyright violation information from this article and left just a stub. This is a major topic in genetics and molecular biology, and it is very surprising there is no article on the subject in Wikipedia already. I asked on the administrator noticeboard for an administrator to simply close this debate. Please just withdraw your request for AfD from the article so as not to spend any time discussing the issue. --Blechnic (talk) 00:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • AfD already closed by the time I woke up this morning (I'm on UTC+1). The article didn't seem to me salvageable, and indeed it seems nothing but the title was. Perhaps you would look at the article 5' flanking region copied (with some modification) from the same source by one of the same authors. Can that also be saved?

Brendon Burns

Can you please delete the prod. Brendon Burns is notable and is almost certain to win the Christchurch Central seat. I note that Nicky Wagner has an article even though she has stood for that seat on several occasions and lost. Bactoid (talk) 09:50, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you read the PROD notice you will see that you may remove the PROD template yourself "if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason." I would then probably nominate the article for deletion under the Articles for Deletion process. There are good reasons for the precedent in WP:BIO#Politicians that being a candidate does not confer notability (otherwise Wikipedia would become an election hoarding for every election). As far as Nicky Wagner's article goes, it says she holds a seat in Parliament; but anyway, read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. JohnCD (talk) 10:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nicky Wagner holds a seat because she is on the party list as is Brendon Burns. He is guaranteed a seat even in the unlikely event he loses. I will most likely be removing the prod since a) I don't want to have to go through the process of putting the article back later in the year and b) it's a stub (ie. a work in progress). Bactoid (talk) 10:10, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mud Mud Ke Na Dekkh Mud Mud Ke

With your PROD of Mud Mud Ke Na Dekkh Mud Mud Ke, is it possible to go straight to AfD? I just get this funny feeling of Déjà vu thats all.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 12:16, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Greta Wodele

I am disapointed to see my small contribution on Greta Wodele deleted. She is regularly on CSPAN. She is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Washington Journal. I think a living person who appears rehgularly on a serious program like Washington Journal is worthy of mention.

Speedy deletion of Bitti Babu

A tag has been placed on Bitti Babu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:47, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • I didn't actually create that page - I userfied the first version of it, put {{db-r2}} on the resulting redirect, and left a note for the originator Bitti007 (talk · contribs) to say that he could re-create it but should first read WP:BIO and WP:AUTO. He went ahead and over-wrote the redirect with his autobio. I have copied your speedy warning to his talk page. JohnCD (talk) 10:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nessesoryism

I replaced your 'prod' tag on this article with a speedy tag. The last line of the article says that this 'belief' has one follower, leading me to believe that the whole thing is a prank/nonsense. Tnxman307 (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fine by me, if you can make it stick. I didn't think {{db-nocontext}} really fitted, and I have found some admins think that {{db-nonsense}} should be restricted to "lk'j8^er#!h%bgl*wjk" and the like, not anything where the words have a coherent meaning. I am thinking of proposing a new speedy category for things blatantly made up one day - neologisms, drinking games, joke religions - which have to be PRODded now. That would cover this nicely. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree. There's the gibberish-type nonsense, and then there's the nonsense into which people actually put some thought. While commendable for creativity, it's still basically nonsense. If you do propose such a tag, let me know, as I would support it. Tnxman307 (talk) 15:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see Yes, two more. Did not see a block notice and confused one of the more recent socks with that one. User:The Limit Is Me and User:Lampireslayer69 appear to be socks of User:Lampireslayer666.
