Antoine Beuger

Please tell me why my quasi-crop page for the composer Antoine Beuger was deleted for lack of notability, considering the fact that the equivalent (and, truth to be told, much larger) article on German Wikipedia wasn't deleted (therefore some editors are considering it notable). Add to that the fact that he is the founder and leader of a group of composers, Wandelweiser, whose page exists right now on English Wikipedia.95.77.105.30 (talk) 16:48, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It had not independent reliable sources whatsoever. Only had two sentences and a link to his own website. No sources to assert notability under WP:MUSIC. Other Wikipedias (e.g. German) might have other requirements, we do not go by theirs and they do no go by ours. The German article is better written and has some references from books. Nothing on here. If you care to translate that article and source it accordingly, be my guest. -- Alexf^(talk) 17:02, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Page

Hi,

You deleted a page called "ClassHack" last week, probably because it didn't have enough sources or because you felt like it was personal promotion. ClassHack.co is not my own personal website and will have several articles written about it, but unfortunately they won't be published until September. Its creators, the co-founders of the company "YouSit", have a had several credible articles published about them. Here are a few of the links to show proof:

Please let me know what you think.

Good afternoon,

I ask that you please un-delete the page Simona_Rivero I created. Thank you.

Sincerely, Mavis Brown

Mavisbrown (talk) 03:19, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You have not explained why. In order to request un-deletion you have to provide a reason in support of your position. That reason has to follow policy. Have you read the notability requirements under WP:PEOPLE? Have you read about Biographies of living persons? -- Alexf^(talk) 11:17, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete?

Just noticed you deleting pages. Can you please take a look on this? It is waiting for more than 20hrs now. Thanks, Jim Carter (from public cyber) 15:06, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Alexf^(talk) 15:13, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dj D (Nechepurenko)

Please, return page about Dj D (Nechepurenko). Who do you know from the European stars? It is naively to assume that the American stars best of the best, only because the stars from other countries you do not have in your american radio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christina232 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Who do I know of European stars? Many, but it does not matter. What matters is asserting notability, specifically in this case under WP:MUSIC. Posting a bunch of spam links to downloadable music does not help. Spam removed. Please rmemeber to sign your posts as required. Thank you. -- Alexf^(talk) 16:38, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you deleted Onvolo

I saw you deleted Onvolo. I would like to context that deletion at WP:Afd. Could you restore the article?Casprings (talk) 03:46, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is not how the system works. AfD is for deletion proposals for articles that do not immediately meet the criteria for speedy deletion and need consensus. It was deleted because it did not assert notability under Wikipedia:Notability (web). It had one paragraph, overly promotional in nature, and no independent reliable sources to back it up, just a link to the company's website, hardly an independent reference. Even if I were to restore it, it would have to be immediately deleted as promotional. Therefore I would suggest, if you can assert notability and have proper sources, to start a new article from scratch. If you are connected to the company please read the issues on conflicts of interest. -- Alexf^(talk) 12:06, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am not connected to the company. However, can you cut and paste the article to my sandbox? I will fix the issues with the article. That said, that is how the system is supposed to work. If an editor has an issue with a speedy deletion, he can certainly challenge the judgement. As per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, a speedy delection should "have broad consensus to bypass deletion discussion, at their discretion, and immediately delete Wikipedia pages or media." Since I am dispute your judgement here (I think the article could easily be fixed based on a simple google search for WP:RS), you can't just bypass a deletion discussion. That even means if I didn't see it in time to dispute the speedy deletion before the actual article was deleted.Casprings (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not say "bypass a deletion discussion". I said it was already deleted so AfD is not the venue. The proper way is to ask the deleting admin. You did, and I answered. You can always go to deletion review and ask there. Any other admin that feels differently can restore it for you. As I said, there is no value in the deleted article (no notability asserted and overly promotional), but a new article could be written that stays if properly sourced. -- Alexf^(talk) 17:35, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give me the article in my sandbox? I can at least have whatever is there to work with.Casprings (talk) 17:56, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Userfied at User:Casprings/Onvolo. -- Alexf^(talk) 20:51, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for doing that. Casprings (talk) 21:32, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think you mean "re-deleted" not "re-blocked". Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:51, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Note to self: don't do this early before coffee. Thanks. -- Alexf^(talk) 09:54, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Save the Snail page deletion

Hi,

you deleted my page Save the Snail (reason A7) - it is not (was not) page about web content. It was page about mobile game (which is also offered as bonus for web browsers). Your reason is not valid. Please undo deletion. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Corwin888 (talk • contribs) 21:01, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted for lack of assertion of notability. I reviewed the link (which you did not provide as requested) and the deletion stands. The article did not pass muster. -- Alexf^(talk) 23:59, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

CampsitePhotos.com Article Deletion

Hello, I submitted an article this morning about an organization I represent - CampsitePhotos.com

It looks like the page was deleted by you this morning. I would like to kindly request that it be restored. I do represent CampsitePhotos.com but was very careful in drafting the content to not be self-promoting. Also per your rules and regulations I did make it known on my user profile page that I am a representative of the organization. I do not have an interest in promoting on Wikipedia as I do use the website quite a bit and agree that it would not benefit the user base, rather I'd prefer to provide general information about the organization.

It appears that I may have missed the sourcing section. If that is the reason for deletion, I'd be happy to revise the page. If it is something else, please let me know and I will promptly address. As I mentioned I was very careful in the words we chose to describe what CampsitePhotos.com is, so please let me know what we can do to get it restored. Thank you for your consideration Alexf.

Zacbdct (talk) 19:56, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the advertising tone the article had absolutely no assertion of notability whatsoever. By the way, the proper link is Campsitephotos.com. The one you put does not point to anything (capitalization is important). You did note your COI in your user page but do you understand what this means? -- Alexf^(talk) 22:16, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page @RealTimeWWI

Hello,

You have deleted the page on wikipedia that I have created concerning @RealTimeWWI I assume it is for the lack of reference, I was looking for them while you deleted the page. Here are some of them:

As you can see there are lot of them including official newspaper like the Italian one "LaStampa"

Please let me know if I am right to consider that it is a default of reference or if the problem is elsewhere.

Sincerely

Arnaud — Preceding unsigned comment added by RealTimeWWI (talk • contribs) 19:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place to put references (which were lacking in the article), but of the ones you put here, only La Stampa might be ok, as it does not do much to assert notability except mention in passing (yes, I can read Italian). The rest are blogs or self-publishes sources , and are not considered reliable sources. Please read: Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources to understand. For help you might try asking at the Tea House. Please remember to sign your posts as required. -- Alexf^(talk) 19:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note,

As for LaStampa, I think that the israelinfo.ru is also a good newspaper reference, at least this is what I understood through the translation of it. I will try the TEAHOUSE to get info on how many reference are needed.

Sincerely RealTimeWWI (talk) 20:33, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Page: Elementary (musician)

Hi there,

I noticed you deleted my page, the reason was that it did not show the significance of the subject. The article failed to mention that the subject has been nominated for a Grammy Award in the past in his work on Rev Run's album for Def Jam Records. Does this qualify the subject for a wiki article?

Elementary_(musician)

Thank you in advance. JoeAtHFM (talk) 12:06, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It might if you supply ample reliable sources to assert notability and it complies with the minimums detailed in WP:BAND. -- Alexf^(talk) 14:39, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Manu Gargi

Hi, I saw that my article of Manu Gargi is deleted. I feel it should exist for the following reasons

He has a reference in IMDB as a producer, director and actor. This shows the genuineness of his involvement in in Hollywood and Bollywood
Articles like that of the following mention him part of the text. In case this page does not exist this page may end up with red links or not be able to refer to the persons details

Let me know if you need further clarifications for the necessity of this page.
