Request on 15:37:31, 4 January 2018 for assistance on AfC submission by Passportgang


Hey 78.26, Just in regards to the B-Nasty discography, the album on the discography contains multiple artists on wikipedia. I had a few other references other then discogs, and imdb & apple. Digital Journal seems to be a decent source, I also have found another reference. would this help? I've worked on a few discography articles before and I've seen less references this this.

What else would need to be added? I was going to create the artists wikipedia profile after his discography unsigned post by Passportgang 15:48, 4 January 2018.


Update, the artist also has Authority Control such as a VIAF ID and so forth. Passportgang (talk) 15:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC) Hi Passportgang! Thanks for writing. Usually a discography doesn't require as stringent notability requirements, but that is because the notability of the artist is firmly established. Since notability hasn't been established yet, then WP:N would be needed to support the discography. Beware of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. My recommendation would be to create the article about the artist first, and add the discography to the artist's article, unless the discography is so extensive that leaving it in the article would make the article unreadable. As it stands, I don't think it would. All the best, 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 15:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that 78.26 I have these articles. http://www.cleveland19.com/story/37184633/hip-hop-sensation-b-nasty-to-feature-in-wu-invasion-mixtape-series & http://amnplify.com.au/portfolio-items/b-nasty-the-end-of-the-beginning-album-review/ would this provide notability? for the discography and also be a good reference for the artist? i've already added them to the discography. should I resubmit?

also I have another question, so the artist has links to them from other discographies, does this help with notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Passportgang (talk • contribs) 16:00, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conrad Thibault

I appreciate your note about my contributions to Conrad Thibault. I didn't know anything about him until I ran across his name when I was doing research for The Gibson Family article. I noticed the lack of inline citations, so I made a note to go back later to try to supply some citations. Some of the sources that I added inline were already listed under "Sources", but fortunately I was able to find some additional information. I was especially glad to discover information about his first wife and add it to the article. Eddie Blick (talk) 21:56, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Teblick: Yes, I wrote that article very early in my Wikipedia "career", and I didn't know how to utilize inline citations yet. Some of the sources are no longer available to me, unfortunately. I was very glad to see the article so vastly improved. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:59, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize that you were the article's creator. I recently completed my fourth year of work on Wikipedia, and I have learned so much (about both Wikipedia and various subjects) over that span. Much of the credit goes to you and We hope for your help in my early days, when I often became frustrated, thinking that I would never get the knack of how this system functioned. You two were the ones who taught me and encouraged me to keep at it, and I greatly appreciate the help that both of you gave me. Eddie Blick (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Those are very kind words, thank you. Of course, it has reached the point where I should be asking you for advice. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:34, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kind sirs-may I slide down the Wikipedia firepole to offer you some free "gifts" at no cost to you? :) PD photo of Conrad Thibault and some other cite-able information about him? Before his singing career, he was a store floorwalker. He did quite a few radio shows-Manhattan Merry Go Round was one of them, and went on to "The Tent Show" from "Gibson". he was also active in some trade organizations related to music and had taken a Hollywood screen test. No idea why he never went into film. There was a late 1940's television program he was a regular on, but this is sketchy re: details right now. Have more "freebie" photos of him and some for the Gibson show, so am not neglecting anyone. :-D We hope (talk) 18:30, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, getting around to this much later than anticipated. Apparently he wasn't just a singer, he had significant acting roles on at least two shows. Interesting. Thanks as always for your sleuthing, We hope! Should I put anything more than a PD-Pre1978 on it? 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:38, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cher

I am confused why you named me in a edit summary. Cher does have native American ancestry. I was somewhat surprised she was never categorized as such. Last time I checked the Armenians are an extinct race. Some mixed breeds such as Cher survive. Remember her song , "Half-breed"?--Wlmg (talk) 03:36, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Wlmg:, my edit summary is because I reverted to your version. And I'm confused by your question. She has Armenian ancestry through her father, but Armenians are not an extinct race, you might ask the people living in Armenia. It is not a Native American tribe. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 03:51, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not patronize me. Not a native American tribe lol. The remaining armenians of the diaspora are of mixed blood (such as Cher) synonymous with an extinct nation to be more accurate. The so-called Armenian state was a Soviet invention to annoy the Turks. We are done here. And on a personal note ur ok as an admin. Wlmg (talk) 11:35, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
My intent was not at all to patronize, and I deeply regret I communicated in such a way it could be construed as such. The short of it is that I reverted what I perceived to be an ethnic-warrior, your edit was great, and Twinkle includes, in the edit summary, the name of the editor whose version of the article was restored. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:06, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

B-Nasty article

Hey 78.26, I heeded your advice, would you be able to go through and check out the article for Draft:B-Nasty, I believe all the references are correct, in terms of notability he had an article with themusic.com.au that is one of the most popular magazines in australia. Just looking for your blessings before send it off for a submission. Thank You! Passportgang (talk) 05:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't submit this yet. Please read WP:RELIABLE and WP:INDEPENDENT. It's not my job to go through every one of these sources, but there are some issues. Yes, the "theMusic" source looks good, to a limited extent because the source contains so little information. However, the next sources are problematical. TripleJ is user generated, I could go there and leave a review. It is not a reliable source. The RTRFM site looks like it was generated by the artist's public relations people. It also looks like a directory listing, which does not provide in-depth coverage about the subject. Even more of a problem are sources #4 and #5, which don't support the claims at all. #4 says nothing about meeting Bangs, and #5 has nothing at all to do with Barnes. When an experienced editor sees this, they will think "This subject is not notable, because the submitter is using links to reliable sources, but the sources don't back up the claims and don't mention the subject. The submitter must be desperate." The WENY link is very obviously a PR release, so it is not independent of the subject. If it wasn't obvious enough from the content, the disclaimer at the bottom "Information contained on this page is provided by an independent third-party content provider" is proof. I hope that is helpful. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 07:51, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request for deleted page copy - Siteimprove

Hi 78.26,

I recently updated Siteimprove's Wiki page, but all changes were rejected because I am from the organization. I was unaware of the rule that usernames associated with an organization are blocked from editing, unfortunately. Is there any way you can help me recover the updates I made? All updates were informational, and I did my best to steer clear of anything promotional or "sales-y". I spent several hours on these updates (i.e. gathering citations, listing awards). It would be much appreciated if I can recover that work, at the very least for other content uses.

Thank you in advance! SiteimproveWW (talk) 16:37, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You changes were not deleted, they were reverted. If you click on the articles "View history" tab, you can see any previous version. That said, please do pay attention to the conflict of intest guidelines. My recommendation is that you not directly edit this article, but make edit suggestions on the talk page, so that uninvolved editors can review them for neutrality. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:46, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Zaid Ali

Re: Draft:Zaid Ali. This person is not notable. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zaid Ali (2nd nomination), which is mentioned on my comment at the draft. I don't believe giving false hope to a user is beneficial to anyone. Nihlus 20:49, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I reviewed that AfD before I reviewed the AfC submission, and I'm not sure the person is non-notable. Yes, I am also aware of the lengthy deletion log, and that it is currently salted (which I agree with). On the other hand, that is an awful lot of you-tube followers. I have a feeling there may be good non-English sources. Nonetheless the sources used must be better than those provided, I hope I was unambiguous about that. Thank you for your input. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 21:00, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Close as "no consensus" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Jacob

You have to provide far more detail to justify a "no consensus" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Jacob, if indeed a "no consensus" can be justified. All of the keep votes directly addressed the sourcing as passing WP:GNG or referenced other votes that directly supported the claim. Votes such as "Delete: failed politician bio", "Delete The people voting keep have confused widespread coverage of the election including incidental coverage of the candidates with actual widespread coverage of the individual." and "Delete - no notability outside the election... which he lost. Fails npol." all fail to address WP:GNG. The article had been expanded after the nomination, and the shift in voting after the article was relisted on February 17 and its expansion was overwhelmingly in favor of retention.

Your "no consensus" close seems to contradict the consensus reached at the discussion. Alansohn (talk) 16:53, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Alansohn: Three points first. 1: you're right, I owe more detail. 2: Judging consensus is just that, a judgement. I can, have been, and will be wrong on occasion. That said, re-reading the discussion I come to the same conclusion, which is "no consensus" resulting in a de-facto "keep". There isn't a "Week keep" or "60% keep" such that the article renders itself in a shade of gray to the reader. 3. If I had "!voted", I would have voted "keep" because I do believe it satisfies GNG, and that the losing major-party candidate for a national seat is probably inherently encyclopedic. Now, for my reasoning: The discussion involves much more than a mere "GNG", the discussion also involves "what is appropriate for an encyclopedia". Those who said "Meets GNG" have a strong case, but didn't clearly indicate the coverage was more than local. (Yes, I saw the local interest piece from India). On the other hand, neither did I see Bearcat's arguments completely refuted, and here it becomes an interpretation of what is appropriate for this encyclopedia. I discounted arguments that coverage for a politician must transcend his political activities. (I write articles about musicians, and coverage often almost solely on their musical activities, that's what they do and what makes them notable.) However, if all coverage is about a single election, it was argued that the topic is not notable outside that election. It was also suggested that many of the sources were not independent of the candidate, but instead were mere spins of the candidate's message. These points were not refuted, although in my opinion they probably could have been, and there had been no further discussion for nearly a whole day. Therefore I have come to the "no consensus" conclusion. Thank you for your input, it is always welcome here. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 17:51, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2018 March newsletter

And so ends the first round of the competition, with 4 points required to qualify for round 2. With 53 contestants qualifying, the groups for round 2 are slightly smaller than usual, with the two leaders from each group due to qualify for round 3 as well as the top sixteen remaining users.

Our top scorers in round 1 were:

  • United States Aoba47 led the field with a featured article, 8 good articles and 42 GARs, giving a total of 666 points.
  • Germany FrB.TG , a WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points, gained from a featured article and masses of bonus points.
  • India Ssven2, another WikiCup newcomer, was in third place with 403 points, garnered from a featured article, a featured list, a good article and twelve GARs.
  • United States Ceranthor, India Numerounovedant, Minnesota Carbrera, Netherlands Farang Rak Tham and Romania Cartoon network freak all had over 200 points, but like all the other contestants, now have to start again from scratch. A good achievement was the 193 GARs performed by WikiCup contestants, comparing very favourably with the 54 GAs they achieved.

Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 1 but before the start of round 2 can be claimed in round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to help keep down the review backlogs!

Re: Draft:Nestor Mesta Chayres - Biography of a noted Mexican Romantic Tenor who recorded for Decca and RCA Victor

Ciao 78.26 I have enjoyed learning of your editorial efforts as a Master Editor for Wikipedia and your interest in the Wikiproject Articles for Creation. Perhaps if you have some free time you might assist in the process of moving Draft:Nestor Mesta Chayres from draft space to the main page space in the days ahead? The article appears to be ready for a final review by an experienced Master Editor such as yourself. It might also be possible to link the article on Wikidata to es:Nestor Mesta Chayreson the Spanish Wikipedia (See Wikidata Q50293161) and it:Néstor Mesta Chaires on the Italian Wikipeda (See Wikidata Q20006068). Many thanks in advance for your thoughtful consideration and best wishes for your continued Editorial Success in the future.

Oh wow, what a delightful surprise! This is clearly a notable topic, as demonstrated by the references. I'd suggest you re-format the discography to distinguish between albums and singles. It is also not clear how they are organized, as it is neither alphabetical nor chronological. That is a small nitpick. I'm moving this beauty to mainspace, since I've checked it for copyright violations. There are none, just song titles match. I encourage you to register an account, and hope to see many more contributions for you going forward! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:40, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ciao 78.26 Many thanks for your prompt reply and thoughtful comments. As per your insightful suggestion, I shall alphabetize the Discography section of this article since it is currently presented in the reverse order of the known recording date posted for each 78 ROM - a somewhat cumbersome formulation. During the course of the last 12 years I have contributed to the development of various articles for Wikipedia predominately in the areas of Musical artists and Ballet. I hope to draft several new articles about leading vocalists from the 1940s who also recorded for RCA Victor and Decca in the USA but are also now largely ignored. I shall attempt to forward them to you for a final review in the days ahead. In the meantime you might also enjoy listening to the music of that era as conducted by Alfredo Antonini and his CBS Orchestra on Archive.org here Alfredo Antonini performes on Archive.org Once again many thanks for your kind assistance.

Re: Wiki-stress

Thanks for your kind words and your concern in the message you posted on my talk page today.

I probably should not have raised the question on the Teahouse anyway. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:14, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Albert Methfessel

On 7 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Albert Methfessel, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while his parents wanted him to serve in the church, Albert Methfessel pursued his interest in music, becoming a key figure in German folk and male voice singing in the 19th century? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Albert Methfessel. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Albert Methfessel), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Re - Draft:Juan Arvizu - noted Lyrica Tenor from Mexico and accomplished recording artist for RCA Victor

Ciao 78.26- As promised I'm sending along another draft article of a highly acclaimed Mexican Lyric Tenor who recorded extensively for RCA Victor in both North and South America. Whenever you have some free time in the weeks ahead, I would welcome your expert editorial insight as well as any assitance which you could provide in moving the page from the draft space into the main page space on English Wikipedia (in so far as most of the primary source material is derived from the Spanish Wikipedia at es:Juan Arvizu. Many thanks once again for your kind assistance and I hope that you enjoy this musician's recording legacy on Archive.org. I'll keep in touch with an additional draft article in the weeks ahead. Ciao104.207.219.150 (talk) 01:39, 9 March 2018 (UTC)PS[reply]

Ciao 78.26 Many thanks for your prompt reply. I am deeply grateful for your thoughtful and timely editorial insights. I am in complete agreement with each of your editorial suggestions and insights! The The text references to "From that moment on Juan Arvizu knew only great success" and references to "moving composition" are derived exclusively from the translated text found on the article es:Juan Arvizu. I was also somewhat reluctant to incorporate these passages into the draft article during the course of translating it. With your permission, I shall eliminate those passages entirely from the draft. As for the reference to "Albums" as opposed to 78rpm records-- kindly excuse the blunder -- I shall correct that reference as well, As for your suggestion to include the article in the WP:DYK|Do You Know... process, I shall be happy to leave that matter entirely in your expert editorial hands in the hope that this artist's obvious and profound musical gifts are shared with our fellow readers and researchers around the world. Feel free to keep me posted on an additional modifications which you might wish me to execute prior to nominating the article for inclusion on the main page and thanks once again for your thoughtful assistance. As always With best regards 104.207.219.150 (talk) 16:29, 9 March 2018 (UTC)PS[reply]

Ciao 78.26 Many thanks once again for your prompt reply--I've included the External Link to "the Strachwitz Frontera Collection in the draft as per your recommendations. Thanks for the tip!

Ciao 78.26 --Thanks again for the reply. As per your question regarding the dates presented in the discography section - I'm not quite certain how to reply in so far as the dates are largely derived from references found on Archive.org which presents them as "Publication Dates". That is the only additional information that I can find due no doubt to the age of the recordings. I hoe that helps. Ciao104.207.219.150 (talk) 16:28, 15 March 2018 (UTC)PS[reply]
@104.207.219.150: OK. Archive.org uses dates from the discography sites "Discography of American Historical Recordings" and the "Online Discographical Project" (78discography.com). Those two sites give recording dates (in general). It appears the dates found on Biblioteca Nacional de España are issue dates, but I'm not sure. I hope that helps. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:38, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Draft:Elsa Miranda - noted Puerto Rican vocalist from the Golden Age of Radio who recorded for RCA Victor and Columbia

Ciao 78.26 - Just a quick note to express my gratitude for your inspirational and outstanding editorial assistance with the article Juan Arvizu. I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful and timely recommendations for improving the article and including it within Wikipedia mainpage space with such professionalism! Many Thanks. When you have some extra time in the weeks ahead you might also take a look at Draft:Elsa Miranda - While she was not nearly as prolific as Juan Arvizu, she did perform with several leading orchestra/band conductors (such as Alfredo Antonini, Xavier Cugat and Desi Arnaz). In addition, she also appeared in several films as well as television promotions. I hope that you find the draft to be interesting. Naturally, I shall be happy to implement any modifications which you might recommend in the event that the subject material is suitable. THanks once again for your kind and thoughtful assistance.

Dear , I am not so sure why this is going on because that was just a preview of what i submitted to show what its going to be like. P.S. you have a billion article with one sentence and I am very disappointed in Wikipedia and I would like my draft submmited


Lilsuzie211 (talk) 02:27, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Lilsuzie211: You did submit your draft. It is not an encyclopedia article. This is an encyclopedia. It is not Facebook, Linkedin, MySpace, or Twitter. Can you be more specific about what your topic is about, and why it should have an encyclopedia article? 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 02:57, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Anthony Acevedo

On 29 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Anthony Acevedo, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Mexican-American Holocaust survivor Anthony Acevedo mixed snow and urine with the ink of his pen to ensure he could maintain his concentration-camp diary? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Anthony Acevedo. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Anthony Acevedo), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Sheik Ali

I don't understand your decision. The sources are casual mentions which don't establish notability. There's nothing substantive, and one source is noted as having a major COI issue. Could you explain further please? 101.189.113.1 (talk) 23:49, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That was your argument, yes, but it wasn't consensus. There were several sources given which contained substantial coverage. The book was written by someone with close relation, yes, but the magazine does not have a COI, and that magazine called the topic a major figure. Overall the strength of the "keep" arguments was stronger. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 03:49, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If he was a major figure where was the substantive coverage? None of the sources were substantive. Prove that they were. The strength of the "Keep" arguments was weak and I still don't get why you called them what they aren't. No consistency between the claims and the actual coverage. 101.189.113.1 (talk) 04:23, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but your decision was wrong. If anything it was "no consensus". The IP is correct and unless I am missing something it is my intention to nominate this again. The sources noted are extraordinarily weak and frankly look rather unreliable, and I am not referring to the conflict of interest source, which is totally unreliable as it is a vanity publication by the subject's son. In fact I suggest that his kayfabe identity appears to have garnered something of a mythical legend nature, to which professional wrestling is subject from the time this person wrestled. This person is not notable and I realise I need to wait but unless something changes I will be nominating this again for deletion. Addicted4517 (talk) 10:00, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It should be noted that my decision is based on consensus of the discussion, I did not go through each source myself and then decide to keep, because that would have been a Wikipedia:Supervote. But since I'm getting so much grief over it OK, let's go through the sources and see how I would have !voted if I had done so. The very first one is published by a governmental source in Australia. While this does not give hugely detailed information, it does say he became a popular figure across Australia. It then references a 1998 publication to support this claim. It is presumable that this 1998 book, which is not available online, contains significant coverage of Sheik Ali. This is a very strong indication of notability, but not proof. The second source is indeed unreliable, as it is user generated. This source (onlineworldofwrestling.com) should probably be removed. The third source (alhs.org.au) is a historical society. They are reviewing a book made by Ali's son, yes, but they use more than his book to write the profile of Ali. Again, this is a 1997 book (by Smith, York, Milano) that is not available online, but is clearly a reliable source (the Australian Broadcasting Company). Another strong indication of notability. I am unsure of the fourth citation (ABC blogs). If the blog is written by Australian Broadcasting Company staff, and not users, then it would be another indication of notability. Since I can't see the content, I will ignore it. The next source (manspacemagazine.com.au) is indeed a casual mention, although it is clearly independent, it seems to indicate that most (Australian) readers would recognize the name as one of the top wrestlers of the era. There is a half page on Ali in Hornbaker's book. This is independent and reliable. I'm not even through the references on the page, and this person has at this point clearly met the notability standards. But I shall continue. The next source (wrestlingdata.com) is to be ignored, it is a directory listing, and I'm not going to bother to see if it is reliable. I don't think there's anything here that can't be found elsewhere. The Easton book further establishes notability. The Sen book is a casual mention and does not strengthen the already-established notability per WP:GNG. Same for Berry's book. I'm not sure exactly where the Johnson/Oliver/Mooneyham book mentions him, so this is discounted regarding notability. Now moving on to the sources in the deletion discussion. The first specifically mentioned by FloridaArmy is already in the article. The second (Arab Observer) is not, gives significant information, and there is a fourth source that establishes notability. Given the pre-internet time period, the level of notability stated by reliable sources, it seems extremely likely that most of the sources for this person exist offline. So, if I had !voted, I would have voted keep without any qualms. Thank you for your concern, and happy editing! 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:42, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! You recently reviewed my submission for a new article for Kaplan Test Prep at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Kaplan_Test_Prep

You comment was "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Kaplan, Inc. instead."

I wanted to clarify that Kaplan Test Prep is actually a subdivision of Kaplan, Inc. All of Kaplan, Inc.'s subdivisions have their own Wikipedia pages, so I'd like to bring Kaplan Test Prep into alignment with that. (As seen in the Graham Holdings Company infobox at
