DYK for Operation PBFORTUNE

On 30 December 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Operation PBFORTUNE, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Operation PBFORTUNE, organized by the CIA to topple Guatemalan President Jacobo Árbenz, was terminated when the coup attempt became too widely known? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Operation PBFORTUNE. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Operation PBFORTUNE), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

@Sulmerruhtan: I'm afraid that something being "real" is not enough for it to have an article on Wikipedia. I myself am decidedly real, but there is no article about me. You need to demonstrate that the subject of an article is notable, through the use of reliable sources. Also, please read WP:NOTINHERITED. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 08:05, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Deletion of Ivan V. Polyakov article

Hi, Vanamonde93. I've recreated the article you deleted as a draft. It's a little bit strange to me that it was deleted as I provided all answers to the person who did the initial moderation of the article and corrected the article according to his comments. Please check the draft and if you have any comments I'll be more than happy to correct the article. Also, please be informed that this article os a translation of the article in Russian segment. Best regards, Ivp.office (talk) 21:31, 8 January 2017 (UTC)

When I came across the article, it was certainly too promotional in nature to be in mainspace. Recreating it in draft-space is fine, as long as you are using the draft to bring the piece in line with WP:NPOV, and not simply to store something that would not survive in mainspace.

Slum Soccer Deletion

As you deleted the Slum Soccer Article due to in your opinion promotion, please explain me in detail, where promotional content was. I was only showing in this high quality article how Slum Soccer is working. For the reason they are doing an amazing job, the content of the article seems to be promotional. but it was only the pure working truth. Please show me where promotional content was. Constantin Masch (talk) 11:12, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Please read the links I've posted on your page. As a good rule of thumb, though, everything you write here needs to be supported by reliable sources: when we abandon those and write just "what we know," neutrality issues crop up. Vanamonde (talk) 11:17, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

About the deleted article Archiam Centre: I disagree with the deletion reason, but agree that it should be deleted.

Hi Vanamonde93,

You deleted the article under the WP:G11 rationale.
I was looking for reliable third references for that that article, and was about to suggest a WP:AFD based on the evidence that the "Archiam Centre" was an offshoot of Nottingham Trent University's Centre for Architecture, Heritage and Global Difference project.
So: Nottingham Trent University has a project called "Centre for Architecture, Heritage and Global Difference" One of its sub-projects included The ArCHIAM Project.

All that said. maybe there could be a carefully written article about this maybe notable topic with references from impeccably reliable sources.

Your thoughts about this?

Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 11:31, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@Shirt58: G11 is one of the deletion criteria that actually has very little to do with notability; all it says is that the article is so unsuitable for Wikipedia that it needs to be deleted. If a well-written article can be written about the subject, then write one by all means. Vanamonde (talk) 11:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC)


About the deleted article PriceWeber

Hi! You flagged an article for PriceWeber for speedy deletion, and it has since been taken down. I am new to posting on Wikipedia, so any policy violation was completely unintentional. Do you have any advice on how to write an article that won't be eligible for deletion in the future? I'm planning on rewriting the one that you tagged, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! LTaylor197 (talk) 15:33, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

@LTaylor197: Thanks for approaching this in the right spirit. First off, you have to check whether the subject you wish to write about is actually notable, and whether that can be demonstrated through the use of reliable sources. Beyond that, a page must comply with WP:V and WP:NPOV, which you should also read. I see that somebody has posted a welcome template on your talk page: just go through those links thoroughly, and you will be in decent shape. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 16:40, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Tractors India Pvt. Ltd.

Joydip.B (talk) 11:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC) Hi Vanamonde93, You nominated Tractors India Pvt. Ltd.for speedy deletion, however i updated the article with reference links, & participated in talk pages also, i am new to Wikipedia, want to keep this company page active, please suggest

@Joydip.B: Hi there. The best way for you to go forward is to carefully read the links posted to your talk page, and then to create a draft that complies with the policies that have been linked there, and use the WP:AFC process to create the article. I'm afraid the talk page that you have posted on will have to be deleted (since the article has been deleted) but don't worry, I have read it. Vanamonde (talk) 15:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Alternative DNS Roots

Hi, someone keeps adding self-promotional sections to the Alternative DNS root page and I'm not sure what the correct course of action is. Writing this to you because you reverted the change once and you're an admin, so hopefully you know more about the correct procedure than me :) -- Jonah Aragon |Talk| 14:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

@JonahAragon: Hi there. Yes, there do seem to be some issues with promotional editing. The correct procedure would be to remove the promotional material, and then request semi-protection on the page, since the users are IPs or new accounts. This can be done by asking an admin (as you have done here) or by posting to WP:RFPP, which is usually quicker, as there is an option to do this easily in the twinkle menu. In this particular case, I have protected the page for a week. However, removing the content is not so straightforward, because although it does seem promotional, and is unsourced, so is a lot of content on that page. So, I'm going to leave that to you to clean up: any information that is in the form of listing prominent examples should be sourced, or it is probably falling foul of our policies. Regards, Vanamonde (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Template issue reminder

Vanamonde, i understand the issue on WP:CRUFT within the templates that you're about to delete with: 

    Template:Current APEC finance ministers
    Template:ASEAN Foreign Ministers
    Template:ASEAN Finance Ministers
    Template:ASEAN Defence Ministers

and also the recent deletion of this template: 

    Template:Current APEC Foreign Ministers

As these templates are concerned, isn't there a way to make these templates non-CRUFT? Such removal would be unfair and a detrimental to undo all the hardwork being done given that despite all the reliable information as well the functions and purposes they have stating the representation of these template are legitimate. Earlier, you stated that few of them received any sustained attention in reliable sources as groups which i don't understand.

On the contrary, you should understand that ASEAN and APEC's foreign ministers and finance ministers in which they represent in their respective countries by ministerial meetings is same thing that the G20 and the G8 had done so. But if you really believe that such these templates that i have contributed are considered as a CRUFT as what you have really insisted, the alternative way would be recreating these templates in order to remove its description as CRUFT and to remove redundancy. Saiph121 (talk) 12:42, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

My apologies for a belated reply. The short answer is "no". The longer answer is that each sovereign country tends to be a part of a number of multilateral groupings: and if we created such a navbox for every position, for every grouping, we would be absolutely inundated with navboxes. G8 and G20 receive far more attention than the average international grouping, but even so, these navboxes are questionable. I don't think you have truly understood what cruft is, or why it is a problem. I would suggest that you try to broaden your perspective a little. Vanamonde (talk) 07:04, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Chelsea Manning ITN

Hello. Since you're an admin and I don't want to be wrongly accused of canvassing, could you please post a note about the current ITN at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies?Zigzig20s (talk) 11:44, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: There is nothing wrong, in general, with posting a neutrally worded note. In this case, however, the ITN entry in question does not address gender and/or sexuality at all, except inasmuch as it is about a person whose transgender status is widely known. Therefore, I'm uncertain that such a notification would be appropriate. What might be more appropriate would be to notify folks who are involved on that article already. Vanamonde (talk) 12:20, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
It is appropriate because as you say, "it is about a person whose transgender status is widely known," which means many editors in the WikiProject will be interested. Can you please do it? Otherwise I will ask someone else.Zigzig20s (talk) 12:22, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
If you believe it to be entirely appropriate, then place it yourself: if you don't believe it to be entirely appropriate, you shouldn't place it. If you are uncertain, then you should take the advice that you asked for. I have no intention of placing a notification: do what you will with my advice. Vanamonde (talk) 12:29, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
In light of "it is perfectly acceptable to notify other editors of ongoing discussions, provided that it be done with the intent to improve the quality of the discussion by broadening participation to more fully achieve consensus." and "An editor who may wish to draw a wider range of informed, but uninvolved, editors to a discussion can place a message at any of the following: The talk page or noticeboard of one or more WikiProjects or other Wikipedia collaborations which may have interest in the topic under discussion.", I have done nothing wrong.

Deletion of an entry for Professor Alan Sinclair

Hello,

Can you please explain why you deleted a page about an academic friend of mine called Professor Alan Sinclair?

He was mentioned by his school's wikipedia page but didn't have a page, so we created one with no agenda other than sharing his biography.

Rather innocent, or that's how it appeared to us. I can't see the problem, although I am new to Wikipedia, so please explain so this doesn't happen again.

Yeah, he's basically requesting people to contribute to Hindi Wikipedia. I have around 5000 edits on hiwiki, and I still lurk there sometimes. I stopped being active there because the community's convention of using ultra-Sanskritized Hindi put me off, but I may start contributing again sometime in the future. utcursch | talk 23:45, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Secondary schools proposal

Hi Vanamonde! Since we've met editing an India related article, it occurred to me to bring this proposal to your attention. It seems to me it might impact how we include items from India. But, I then realized I don't really know that much about India-related articles, or, in the grand scheme of things, very much about, well, India. So, I thought I would bring it to your attention and see what happened! (Having found you, should I sign this 'Alvin'? Or, in the case of your alternative account, 'Stormgren'?)

Deletion of the page LEAD Business Growth

Hi Administrator,

Greetings of the Day!

This is in reference to deletion of the page LEAD Business Growth, a short while ago, for which I wish to provide some clarifications.

We created the page because it is a story about 'purpose' and 'resolve'. The page is not intended for marketing and promotion, in any form. The story is, definitely, going to be 'big' in the near future. I believe what went wrong is that we did not use references (links) of third parties, to verify the details. Given the paucity of time, this afternoon, we intended to provide the links tonight. However, in the meanwhile, the page got deleted.

As a resolution, we have furnished some references in the talk page of LEAD Business Growth. We hope that the references would suffice, to have the page restored.

Thanks and warm regards, Dheeraj Mirpuri — Preceding unsigned comment added by LeadBizGrowth (talk • contribs) 11:15, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Okay, there are a few issues here. First, a page can be promotional even unintentionally. Any page needs to comply with WP:NPOV, WP:N, and WP:V; yours did not. Second, it sounds like this is a group you are involved with: in which case, you have a conflict of interest, and should avoid writing about LEAD on that basis alone. Third, the talk page is that of a deleted article, and so I have deleted the talk page, too: if you wish to collect sources, please do so on a draft in your userspace.
