Straightback

I'm pretty sure A7 is only for people/groups/companies and can't be applied to products/concepts such as this. I'd suggest retagging. exolon 21:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem - if you're not already aware, you can use the {{db-reason|Reason goes here}} tag for those articles you feel warrant speedy deletion but don't fit any of the predefined criteria. exolon 21:58, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of saint patricks pipe band

Triple Helix Institute

Fingall, I am clearly new to the process, and need to learn a thing or two. The Triple Helix website is legitimate and should be included with other Triple Helix information. It is not a commercial organization, and is actually funded by the federal government. I will learn more about the Wiki protocol, and try again. Thank you for your quick responses. pjj 23:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Triple Helix

Message received...loud and clear. I do appreciate you taking the time to provide specific information about the process and etiquette. I'll do better next time. pjj 02:46, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merchant Warehouse

I just attempted to add the page Merchant Warehouse. Could you please specify what you mean by "inappropriate pages"? I believe the page and the information is unbiased and relevant, and I am curious what you find inappropriate. The goal is obviously to get this page approved, so pleace advice.

Thanks,

Chris Giunchigliani

Hey there.

As a heads up, I removed the speedy tag from the article as it now asserted notability. The original version of the article was deleted because it was blanked by the author. Just a pro forma FYI. Happy editing to you! Keegan^talk 06:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kwansaba deletion

I put the hangon tag on the article and added more information, including why I believe it to be notable. It was again deleted. I am not sure why, as no explanation was given that time. Is it still considered not notable? I placed a lengthy explanation. Maybe I didn't put it in the correct space? I would be appreciative if you could advise me on this as I am new to the community.

Living Legends horse retirement home

I removed your tag because you in fact don't know what you are taking about. If you have questions, please direct them to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thoroughbred racing. Thanx. Handicapper 18:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not reinsert your tag on an article about which you know nothing and didn't bother to check into before you irresponsibly stuck your tag within a matter of seconds of my posting it. Proper procedure is first to examine it then direct your enquiry , as I already said, to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Thoroughbred racing. Handicapper 18:44, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can't find article "Center for UN Reform Education"

Hello Finngall, Thanks for helping me out with my article. Sorry to bother you, but I'm pretty new at this. Just have a problem. I can't find my article when I search for it. I've tried to look in the deletion log, but it's not there, so it should be up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jofre, 25 June 2007

Hello again, Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. i tried your sugggestion, but unfortunately it didn't help. I can find my article fine via "contributions", but if I search for it in the search box, it says that there are no such article in Wikipedia. Suggestions? Thanks, Jofre, 25 June 2007

Hi, Thanks for your message. I tried to write the whole title and hit 'go', and that worked, but not with 'search'. So that means that you cannot search for say, 'center for un reform' AND 'wikipedia' in Google. You'll have to know the exact title and go to the Wikipedia site to find the article? There is no way that you can use the search function to find my article? That's too bad. Anyway, thank you for helping me out on this. I'm still learning. Jofre, 25 June 2007

Orangemaster

On 18 June you left a final warning on User talk:Orangemaster for vandalism. The same user has just vandalised the football article with an edit summary proclaiming that they had "screwed it up" and inserting disgusting language into the article. I have no idea how this now proceeds as just adding another warning message on their talk page is clearly not going to work. How does it get to the stage of them being put forward to Admins for a possible blocking? thanks ♦Tangerines BFC ♦·Talk 19:52, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Naugle

This article is currently in work. It was created less than 30 mins ago, and it is about a mayor of a city with more than 150,000 people. Please give the creator time to flesh it out before tagging it to get nuked. you tagged it one minute after the editor created it. Please take a more thorough look at articles before tagging them indiscriminately. Horologium t-c 23:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note

Yes, all those contributions by Mitvik did indeed have "peacock terms". That's because he copied them wholesale from tourism sites. Anything that looks like that the whole way through is usually a copyvio; do a Google search for an odd phrase in it and see what you can find.

Just a hint. DS 00:11, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I'd suggest that you be a bit more careful when nominating articles for speedy deletion. I checked the history, and the article on Jim Naugle asserted notability from its very first version: he was mayor of a large American city six times in a row. DS 00:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Torrey

Speaking of mayors...wait, come back here...do you think Torrey is notable? Obvious personal political and local bias aside, that is? Latr, Katr 00:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I just learned of this film called Quarterback Princess (reference multi-Afds on Oregon high schools) has Mrs. Finngall seen it? Latr, Katr 01:25, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Ark

thanks for informing me about the speedy deletion. Well, to no avail as it's already been deleted. How much time to prove notablity? Don't you think 5-10 minutes is a little short amount of time? Anyway you can find info about bangladeshi ark on Bangladeshi band music. Vocals Hasan, Tulu and Pancham are also popular in Bd. Thanks again for informing me.
