== 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake assessment ==

Hello,

Thanks for volunteering to do the review for this article. It's my first nomination for good article status. I think we may have had a missed approach on getting this thing going. I saw you'd posted to the [[Talk:1979 Imperial Valley earthquake/GA1|GA review page]] and chimed in the following day to say hello. I would like to move ahead with the review if you're willing. Thanks! [[User talk:Dawnseeker2000 |<span style="font-variant: small-caps">''Dawnseeker2000 ''</span>]]

[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rotaract Club of University of Moratuwa]]

I don't think that this was a correct closing.&nbsp; The topic is already mentioned in the encyclopedia, which means that a failure of notability is not an argument for deletion.&nbsp; Further, there were 21 unrefuted sources in the article, and the only editor to review the sources found apparent reporting in depth in multiple reliable newspaper sources.&nbsp; No content policy was cited by any editor that would be a reason for deletion under [[WP:Deletion policy]].&nbsp; Even by counting of raw !votes, there were more opposed to deletion than in favor.&nbsp; What does that leave that could render a delete result?&nbsp; [[User:Unscintillating|Unscintillating]] ([[User talk:Unscintillating|talk]]) 02:24, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

:Notability is a reason for deletion (despite some claims to the contrary) and I saw no evidence of any merge of the club article to another page (if that's the case I would have closed it as merge and redirect). While the webhost would have been faulty, the keep commentators (outside the weak one which I presume is the editor you are talking about, and I don't think he went though every source) didn't give any policy or guideline based reason to keep the page on Wikipedia. Consensus was rather clear on this one. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 04:37, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. Was this page even nominated for deletion? It's on my watchlist and I didn't notice if so. The subject is certainly notable, as a cursory google would demonstrate. I think it was a mistake to delete it. -- [[User:Wetdogmeat|Wetdogmeat]] ([[User talk:Wetdogmeat|talk]]) 02:28, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

You have any evidence that he meets [[WP:MUSIC]] or [[WP:GNG]]? I saw no evidence of notability nor it bothered to claim any, the blue linked groups the article claimed he was linked to something completely unreleated. I checked Google and I saw some underground hip hop websites talking about him, but that's not sufficient. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 02:38, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

== WikiCup 2013 July newsletter ==

We're halfway through this year's penultimate round, and the competition is moving along well. Pool A's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sasata}} currently leads overall, while Pool B's {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}} is second. Both leaders are WikiCup veterans, and both have already scored over 600 points this month. If the round were to end today, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Miyagawa}}, with 274 points, would be the lowest-scoring participant to make it through. This indicates that participants will need a score comparable to last year's (573, the highest ever) to qualify for the final. The high scores this year are a testament both to the quality of participants and to the increased focus on significant content (eligible for bonus points) in this year's competition. So far this round, both Sasata and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Cwmhiraeth}} have made up over half of their score through bonus points, with, for example, high importance FA [[koala]] earning Sasata a total of 440 points (from a multiplier of 4.4) and high-importance GA [[sea]] earning Cwmhiraeth a total of 216 points (from a multiplier of 7.2). Other articles on important topics submitted this round include a featured article on the [[Norman conquest of England]] by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ealdgyth}}, and good articles on Nobel laureate in literature [[Henryk Sienkiewicz]], Nobel laureate in physics [[Hans Bethe]], and the noted [[Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū|Japanese aircraft carrier ''Hiryū'']]. These articles are by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Piotrus}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}} and Sturmvogel_66 respectively.

Other than that, there is not much to report!

== Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Georgian mafiosi ==

" Rather close one policy wise, but considering this is a purely BLP list of simply red links, and we need to be cautious about those things, something not really mentioned by the keep commentators." 

My vote was: "Keep but purge, given the weight of the "mafiosi" attribute in my view we should be very zelous on the inclusion of every name, and a single source could not be enough for inclusion. I suggest keeping for now just the bluelinks and eventually discuss the inclusion of redlinks supported by multiple sources in the talk page". Then [[User: My very best wishes]] wrote "Lists, especially of potentially contentious content, should not include red links to non-existing pages, and especially about living people. If this page is kept, prepare that someone might remove all red-linked objects/subjects of the list." I agree that a list of "mafiosi" wholly made of redlinks was unsustainable, but in my view removing red links was an easy step to remove the BLP violations and comply [[WP:NLIST]] and [[WP:Source list]] without [[WP:TNT|TNT]].

Hi Secret, If you take a closer look at the deletion discussion I think you will find strong consensus for the renamed topic. Admittedly the renamed list article needs some work. Could you please have another look? [[User:Candleabracadabra|Candleabracadabra]] ([[User talk:Candleabracadabra|talk]]) 02:50, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
:No time has been allowed for work on the unanimously agreed upon article subject. [[User:Candleabracadabra|Candleabracadabra]] ([[User talk:Candleabracadabra|talk]]) 03:08, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Are you willing to accept a [[WP:USERFY|userfy]] and work on it on your userpage? The extremely clear consensus on the AFD said that an article subject of list on South American companies in general is plausible and would accept it, however, not with the current content (one blue link, two red links, and a stub tag no sources) borderline A1/A3. There wasn't any rename and keep until your last second comment. It's relatively easy to create the new list by following the categories and source them and like I said in the AFD, I wouldn't have any objections. Thanks [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 03:23, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'd just like to know why this article was deleted when there was no consensus to do so? The count at the time of deletion was 3 delete, 3 oppose. Edits were also made only a few hours before deletion to resolve some concerns raised by those in the opposition. I would appreciate it if you reverted this deletion. I'm happy to take responsibility for improving the article. [[User:Ck786|Ck786]] ([[User talk:Ck786|talk]]) 05:06, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

AFD is not a vote count, policy based comments indicate a consensus for deletion ([[WP:SNOW]] is not a valid rationale here), the source you linked was rebutted. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 13:54, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I wrote the stub for this article, and I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that I agree with your decision to delete this article almost 4 years ago. At that time, she was not yet notable, and I think you made the right decision to delete and salt. She is now notable, but that was only because of what she has done in the last few years. Cheers!

Lol thanks! I had this username since 2007 (I was among the first to use the [[WP:Usurp|usurp]] policy). I actually thought of this username as a [[WP:POINT]] as I was in some controversy back then regarding an administrative action I did and I was a victim of non-related severe off-wiki harassment.

== WikiCup 2013 August newsletter ==

This year's final is upon us. Our final eight, in order of last round's score, are:
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Hawkeye7}}, a WikiCup newcomer who has contributed on topics of military history and physics, including a number of high-importance topics. Good articles have made up the bulk of his points, but he has also scored a great deal of bonus points. He has the second highest score overall so far, with more than 3000 points accumulated.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Casliber}}, another WikiCup veteran who reached the finals in 2012, 2011 and 2010. He writes on a variety of topics including botany, mycology and astronomy, and has claimed the highest or joint highest number of featured articles every round so far this year. He has the third highest score overall, with just under 3000 points accumulated.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Cwmhiraeth}}, 2012 WikiCup champion, who writes mostly on [[marine biology]]. She has also contributed to high-importance topics, seeing huge numbers of bonus points for high-importance featured and good articles. Previous rounds have seen her scoring the most bonus points, with scoring spread across did you knows, good articles and featured articles.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sasata}}, a WikiCup veteran who finished in second place in 2012, and competed as early as 2009. He writes articles on biology, especially [[mycology]], and has scored highly for a number of collaborations at featured article candidates.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Sturmvogel_66}}, the winner of the 2010 competition. His contributions mostly concern [[Naval history]], and he has scored a very large number of points for good articles and good article reviews in every round. He is the highest scorer overall this year, with over 3500 points in total.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ealdgyth}}, who is competing in the WikiCup for the second time, though this will be her first time in the final. A regular at FAC, she is mostly interested in British medieval history, and has scored very highly for some top-importance featured articles on the topic. 
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Miyagawa}}, a finalist in 2012 and 2011. He writes on a broad variety of topics, with many of this year's points coming from good articles about ''[[Star Trek]]''. Good articles make up the bulk of his points, and he had the most good articles back in round 2; he was also the highest scorer for DYK in rounds 1 and 2.
#{{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Adam Cuerden}} has previously been involved with the WikiCup, but hasn't participated for a number of years. He scores mostly from [[Photo restoration|restoration]] work leading to featured picture credits, but has also done some article writing and reviewing.

We say goodbye to eight great participants who did not qualify for the final: {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Piotrus}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Figureskatingfan}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|ThaddeusB}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Dana boomer}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Status}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Ed!}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|12george1}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant4|Calvin999}}. Having made it to this stage is still an excellent achievement, and you can leave with your heads held high. We hope to see you all again next year. '''[[Wikipedia:WikiCup/2014 signups|Signups are now open]]''' for the 2014 WikiCup, which will begin on 1 January. All Wikipedians, whatever their interest or level of experience, are warmly invited to participate in next year's competition.

This last month has seen some incredible contributions; for instance, Cwmhiraeth's [[Starfish]] and Ealdgyth's [[Battle of Hastings]]—two highly important, highly viewed pages—made it to featured article status. It would be all too easy to focus solely on these stunning achievements at the expense of those participants working in lower-scoring areas, when in fact all WikiCup participants are doing excellent work. A mention of everything done is impossible, but here are a few: Last round saw the completion of several good topics (on the [[1958 Atlantic hurricane season|1958]], [[1959 Atlantic hurricane season|1959]] and [[1962 Atlantic hurricane season|1962]] Atlantic hurricane seasons) to which 12george1 had contributed. Calvin999 saw [[S&M (song)|"S&M" (song)]], on which he has been working for several years, through to featured article status on its tenth try. Figureskatingfan continued towards her goal of a broad featured/good topic on [[Maya Angelou]], with two featured and four good articles. ThaddeusB contributed significantly to over 20 articles which appeared on the main page's "in the news" section. Adam Cuerden continued to restore a large number of historical images, resulting in over a dozen FP credits this round alone. The WikiCup is not just about top-importance featured articles, and the work of all of these users is worthy of commendation.

== The Cross Border Rivalry ==

why was The Cross Border Rivalry deleted. It is a growing rivalry that has received a lot of publicity in [[Australia]], mainly [[Melbourne]] and [[Adelaide]], and I see absolutely no reason why the article should be deleted. If you believe that this article should be deleted, than rivalries of very similar calibre, notability and intensity should be deleted. These are some articles regarding rivalries who are almost the exact same feeling and notability [[Melbourne Derby (A-League)|Melbourne Derby]] and [[The Big Blue (A-League)|Big blue]]. Looking at your wikipedia profile I can see how you're not from Australia, and that you have deleted other rivalry articles causing questions. I'd like to formally discuss the deletion with you, kind regards, Crelache.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Crelache|Crelache]] ([[User talk:Crelache|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Crelache|contribs]]) 02:54, 30 August 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

[[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Cross Border Rivalry]]. Consensus was to delete the article (and most of the other rivalry articles, many of which had clearer, near unanimous consensus to delete). I'm simply the AFD administrator here, I can't really offer an opinion on the article topic. The best I could do is [[Wikipedia:Userfication|userfy]] the article content to your userspace to see if you can improve the article using available [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that makes the rivalry meets the [[WP:GNG|notability criteria]] (the debate was on the weaker side of consensus with four comments, three deletes which was perfectly fine policy wise and one keep voter who claimed [[WP:BEFORE]] which was inappropriate usage however). When your done, talk to those editors in the [[WP:FOOTBALL|football wikiproject]] who nominated the article for deletion. If they OK it, I would move it back to namespace per [[WP:REFUND|proper policy]]. [[User:Secret|Secret]] <sup>[[User talk:Secret|account]]</sup> 03:10, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

== Deletion review for Adrian Piper ==

I really think that the Adrian Piper page should be undeleted. I fully appreciate that the subject is unhappy with the biographical information but Adrian Piper is notable for many reasons. Her art is taught in many universities and it seems odd that there is no wikipedia page about her anymore. Not least because students of the history and theory of art, as well as students of philosophy, now lack a useful resouce. If the biographical information is the problem, that section could be deleted. I strongly feel there should be a review of the deletion of the Adrian Piper page.
