Aly Ryan

Hi, how's it going? I was planning on creating a page for Aly Ryan, a German singer and participant in the upcoming Unser Lied Fur Tel-Aviv 2019 (a German article already exists, but I wouldn't be directly translating this) - however I noted that the page had been deleted before, and you were the last admin to delete it. I'm just wondering would it be an issue if I were to create this article again, just in case. Thanks! Serhatserhatserhat (talk) 17:56, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Serhatserhatserhat: My deletion was not based on merit but on the fact that the article was created by a user who was banned from editing (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jasleen Ahluwalia/Archive). If you are not that user, you are welcome to create an article if the subject is notable by our standards. Be warned though that just by expressing interest in creating this article you might be accused of being a sock puppet of the aforementioned user. Regards So Why 18:12, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, thanks! I'm not that user, so I'll consider doing that. Serhatserhatserhat (talk) 19:34, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question about something

Hey, I'm a little confused on why you labeled this as "violations of the biographies of living persons policy" under the "real person slash" category when that's the literal definition of that category. Also, it mentions two other living people under that category as well so why are they allowed to be mentioned, but not the ones you removed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:e000:ac9f:5b00:d8a7:67ff:5a13:eb5 (talk • contribs) 08:18, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please specify what you are referring to. I cannot help otherwise. Regards So Why 16:29, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne

On 30 January 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that video game magazine GameStar called Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne the best add-on in PC gaming history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne), 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: Flatbush Girl Wiki

Hype Auditor is a pretty basic analytical tool for measuring Instagram followers manipulation, and is considered a standard reference for judging an Instagram following, I understand your edit was probably a good faith one but its accidental vandalism, and presenting a biased view of someone who gets paid by companies for each follower that she may have, and buying followers is a scam, and is not considered bias or an unreliable source.

Be well, Harry AntiRevisionism (talk) 23:36, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@AntiRevisionism: An automated tool can only tell you assumptions based on analytical algorithms. Citing such numbers and drawing the conclusion that because the tool assumes this it must be true constitutes original research and is thus not allowed. You are welcome to find and add a reliable source per our definitions that states this but as far as I can tell, such a source does not exist. Even the "Hype Auditor" link you provided contains no such claim. Since this is a negative claim about a living person, per our Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons such material has to be attributed to a published reliable source per the aforementioned policy. Last but not least, avoid using the term "vandalism" to refer to edits you disagree with. Vandalism has a very distinct meaning on Wikipedia and using it to refer to good-faith edits might lead to you being sanctioned. Regards So Why 08:18, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion

Hi,

Thanks for your message.

I now understand that A categories are not appropriate for drafted articles.

What other means are there of putting forward drafted articles for deletion and, if you do not mind, could you briefly explain them?

Many thanks, The Black Swan
