I’ve written the page about my father on his honor would you mind explaining why was the page deleted? I would at least expect some sort of suggestion to revise the article instead of abruptly deleted the whole context. — Canerikan0826 (talk) 01:07, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
- How do you expect me to find the page if you do not provide a link? Please reply. For the deletion reason read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
How can I show you the link if the page has been deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canerikan0826 (talk • contribs)
- So how would you describe "the page" if it is not the link I want? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
I would appreciate you re consideration on this article as I would be happy to revise its content according to the rules — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canerikan0826 (talk • contribs)

Deleted Page: CYST Company Limited
Ref: link Hello RHaworth. A tag was placed on draft:CYST COMPANY LIMITED, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The page was tagged for unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. The draft was written with as much factual information as possible. I hoped I was as objective as possible, as the information was taken from the company's site and articles they are featured in.
Can please reconsider this decision for deletion or help me with suggestions for this to work. Please point out, if you can, the sections of the draft that were seen as advertising the company and were subjective? I look forward to hearing from you. Any help would be greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mazzuma (talk • contribs)
- The shouted title signalled "spammer" to me before I had even opened the page. Please wait until someone with no CoI comes here and writes about your company. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:30, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Deletion of Draft:Blip (company)
Hi, Can you please restore Draft:Blip (company) to the draftspace, so I can fix it? I am new to Wikipedia, so I am still learning. If not can you please email the contents to me so I can work on it offline before giving article creation another go? Thanks, Serprise (talk) 19:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

SALTING of Kunal Jaisingh
Hello RHaworth, I was reviewing article today at AFC and while trying to review this draft I realized it has been salted. I am reaching out because you are the deleting administrator and also to know if you can unsalt it so I can move the draft to mainspace as I believe it satisfies WP:NACTOR if its not too much trouble. You can also have a look at the draft to make sure its okay before moving forward. Best regards Lapablo (talk) 21:40, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I want to re-establish the wikipedia page of the company I work in, called Moxie 88, and of it's members. I am new at this, and the site told me you deleted a previous page.

Deletion review for Badnam Song
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Badnam Song. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. — Geolodus (talk) 15:00, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
Erroneous CSD
It appears I made an error when I tagged Template:Dangerous with G8. There are two mistakes I made:
- {{Dangerous}} is not strictly applicable to pages that are redirects, as
{{High-risk}}
is. While {{High-risk}} was TfD'd, that does not make it "non-existent". While this should proceed relatively uncontroversially through TfD, it was not necessary and not appropriate to tag it with a speedy tag. - I failed to notice {{Dangerous}} had two existing valid transclusions, and speedy deleting would have made the purpose of those transclusions nontransparent.
I'm a believer that CSDs should be interpreted strictly, and ambiguous cases should go through TfD, even if it would be noncontroversial, because it creates a more transparent deletion, and the TfD process works smoothly for clear case; there's no pressing need for this to be deleted. eπi (talk | contribs) 21:15, 16 May 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Mintos
Hi RHaworth. Thank you for reviewing my page Mintos. Unfortunately, my page Mintos was deleted from Wikipediua and I would like to restore it and explain my position. Mintos is European largest peer-to-peer lending platform. I am creating the article not in the marketing purposes. There are similar articles on Wikipedia about different peer-to-peer lending companies like Funding Circle, Lending Club or others. I am hired by the company to create content and am being rewarded for it. I have rewritten the text and deleted the marketing related information leaving the basic information about the company. My relationship with User:Sparklz2048 are professional - this is a previous project manager for this project. This user no longer works on this project. Can you please update me and explain how can I create a new Mintos Wikipedia page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ik158 (talk • contribs)
- If you have received an advance fee from the company, hand it back and tell them that it would be far better to leave the job to an experienced editor with no CoI. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:07, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
The thing is that there is already a page of it:Mintos in Italian Wikipedia created by independent editor and I wanted to make it available also in English. Is this possible? Maybe I can request a translation? I have also disclosed my relationships with the company on my profile page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ik158 (talk • contribs)
- I question the independence of the creator of it:Mintos. Their contributions history screams single purpose account to me. (And why of all Europe, should a company based in Latvia come to the notice of an Italian?)) Horribly circular to request a translation - look at the log: the Italian article is a translation of one state of Mintos, now deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:30, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
R3 Help
Hii! @RHaworth:, Can you please delete Baby Doll (Kanika Kapoor, Meet Bros Anjjan and Kunal Avanti song) and Baby Doll (Kanika Kapoor song) they are redirects to Baby Doll (2014 song)! I placed tag for Speedy Deletion but someone removed tags, I mean who will search "Baby Doll (Kanika Kapoor, Meet Bros Anjjan and Kunal Avanti song)"? They aren't not useful at all! I hope you agree with me. Thanks! Regards - CptViraj (Talk) 13:44, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Michael Lyons
Speedy deletion of Michael Lyons (Sculptor) page. Hello. Thank you for pointing out my error. I was trying to create this page of my father-in-law whose funeral is next week and his wife asked me to create this. In my rush and ignorance I didn't realise what I had done was wrong, but now I do. The author of the book is a good family friend and said we could use any information we liked, but I now realise that the text I used belongs to the publishers, so I will create new text.
Can you please send me the text, or allow me to edit it again so i can remove the text i copied. Sorry about this, one lives an learns. Thank you Stephen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsteveb (talk • contribs)
- If you re-submit, do so via AfC and put a lower case s on sculptor: draft:Michael Lyons (sculptor). Hints: provide some wikilinks! The main body of the article contained just one and it was invalid! Peter Murray . Provide more external links that attest to his notability. Emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:21, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice. I didn't see this message until after I had reworded the page, with a capital "S" for sculptor. I wasn't ignoring your advice. I have now recreated a page with a low case s and will work out how to delete the other page. Now adding wikilinks as you suggest. Thanks again for your help. SB — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsteveb (talk • contribs)
Dear RHaworth, thanks for your edits and apologies if it looked like I ignored and changed your suggestions. I had lost track of what had been edited, and misunderstood the notes and thought you were suggesting the text that actually you deleted, hence why I changed it, but now I see what is going on, so, sorry about that. Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drsteveb (talk • contribs)

Request for undeletion
hi, my wiki ID is Fullmetalssss, and I am here to ask that whether you could undelete my sandbox. the URL for my sandbox is User: Fullmetalssss/sandbox. and now when I open it. I am a sydney university student and the sandbox i was working on is an assignment for my subject OLES2129, as I am a beginner of the wikipedia and this is my first time to try to write an wiki article, I can understand that there may be some mistakes and biased content of my article that let you treat it as an advertising. and my tutor has told me where I have gone wrong. but this article is very important to me because it is my assignment, so could you please undelete it and i will then try my best to fix it. Thank you. Fullmetalssss (talk) 06:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Sydney University likes to have capitals on its name. @Fullmetalssss, Maigaoyaguo, and Stephen L 2019: Wikipedia is collaborative not competitive! Please ask your supervisor to explain to me how they allowed three of you to start articles on the same subject. I make no apology for jumbling your edits together at draft:Tencent Research Institute. Work together on one text of the article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:28, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
Settlement infoboxes
I see that you have both deleted the redirects (to {{Infobox settlement}}) that I created at Template:Infobox Helsinki subdivision and Template:Infobox UAE community, after their deletions, and protected them to prevent their recreation. Why have you done that? Such redirects are standard and many, and help users who may have wished to use the deleted templates to find the appropriate alternative, in whose favour they were deprecated. Unless there is a very good reason not to do so in these cases, please restore them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- Please give me some examples of the alleged "standard redirects". Any user attempting to use one of these templates will soon enough find the deletion log entry which tells them all they need to know. I am split: on the one hand I strongly object to an IP address-hopping user meddling in areas such as this. On the other hand both pages were deleted after proper discussions - in which you never participated - though I do realise that you were not notified of them. On balance, I agree that it is uncommon practise. Take it to deletion review if you must. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:30, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
Examples here. — Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:11, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- I have taken a bit of flack of late for salting so it might be politick if I unsalted these two. But I don't understand: presumably you want to re-create redirects on these two titles. So why did you !vote for the deletion of {{Infobox Venezuelan municipality}}. Please explain because I am confused. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:59, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
CAAPA
Good day Sir: I am inquiring regarding the Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts - CAAPA, [1], a 15 year-old arts organization, which supports thousands of youth and adults in the arts. We are funded and supported by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC); and other major funding agencies throughout the United States. We hope you will kindly reconsider including our page for reference for the public. Thank you very much! Regards, Terri Allen, Exec. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrrialllen (talk • contribs)
- It would be far better if you were to wait until someone with no CoI comes here and writes about your organisation. But if you insist, I hope you will kindly consider writing a Wikipedia article on the subject instead of an unreferenced stub. It should be created at draft:Coalition for African Americans in the Performing Arts. If it gets accepted then you may create a redirect at CAAPA. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:35, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Toile énergétique
Hello, I am here about the article toile énergétique which was deleted by you on the 8th of February 2019 for the reason G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Do you mind if you check again my draft and tell what I should change. — User:Hakan.kilic agur/sandbox. Just to remind, the article is a translation from a French article and also my first English article in Wikipedia, so please be indulgent :) Kind regards, Hakan.kilic agur (talk) 10:19, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- You need to learn wikilinks. An article with zero references stands zero chance of being accepted. Having fixed that matter, for the article to succeed it must be about toiles énergétiques in general citing the Dunkerque one as an example. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:35, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
It is a problem if there is few references in French? Given that it is a translation from a French article, does the article really need references? I added some references and made some changes. Can you check again please. Thank you, Hakan.kilic agur (talk) 13:56, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
- Of course it needs references. I am very dubious about the subject's notability in the English-speaking world but feel free to re-submit it via AfC. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:48, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
Me Gusta
Hello RHaworth, please un-protect "Me Gusta" to create redirect to "Me gusta" now that dab page exists? I was wondering if you would be able to create the redirect "Me Gusta" to the existing disambiguation page "Me gusta"? Page creation is still locked from when people tried to create a page about the non-notable meme, when you rightfully locked the page in 2012. Now that there's a disambiguation page of this name (with many articles as in "Me Gusta (??? song)" using this capitalisation), and this alternate capitalisation is still locked from creation, is there any way you can unlock it or create the redirect? Thank you. Paintspot Infez (talk) 16:25, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Actioned. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:35, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for moving the page! ...but I was wondering if one could be a redirect to the other (which would guide readers to the right page, and also would prevent article creation of a non-notable topic). Could you unprotect "Me gusta" (which you just protected after moving), so one can be a redirect to the other? Thanks, and sorry to bother you. Paintspot Infez (talk) 02:55, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
- If I had designed Wikipedia, I would have specified that titles should be case-preserving and that access to any article should be case-insensitive. What is the point of creating a redirect at me gusta? True if a non-logged-in user keys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Me_gusta into their browser's address bar they will be told "Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name". But if they do the more likely thing of keying me gusta into the Wikipedia search box, they will be taken straight to the article. So please explain to me a plausible circumstance where the redirect might actually be useful. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:11, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
Garden Tower
Dear Roger, It is important that our invention, the first containerized multi-level keyhole garden known as the Garden Tower 2, have an entry in Wikipedia. It's a novel technology used by over 15,000 people to grow organic food. Far less innovative and impactful products (E.g. Tower Garden have dedicated wikipedia pages. I titled the page "Garden Tower 2" because "Garden Tower" is already an existing title for a building. Will you help me get a start on a proper page?

May I re-edit a deleted article?
Hi Roger The draft that I've been working on for a while now (Draft:Karen Dudley) was recently deleted by you after it had been requested for speedy deletion by another user under CSD G12. I clearly understand the mistakes I have made and would like to try again by rewriting (or eliminating, if need be) the one or two copyrighted phrases/content that I have misused in my draft. I would really appreciate it if this is in any way possible. If not, I will attempt to rewrite the article from scratch. -- HeyitsBen (talk) 16:49, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

@RHaworth: Thank you for the e-mail. Do you recommend that I remove both sources from the draft? Or am I allowed to reword them? HeyitsBen (talk) 06:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- You don't ping me on this page! "Uses food to connect with people" is pure peacock language. Put your sources away and write an encyclopedia article in your own words from scratch. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:11, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
Undeletion of HIPZEE
Hello, I added the page HIPZEE and it was deleted under the speedy deletion categories of A7 and G11 which I don't find true. In researching them I found they were involved in producing works that are culturally relevant and award-winning, in particular Heathers: The Musical which has skyrocketed in popularity. I am aware now that G11 is a tonal issue which is why the page was deleted. I could have been more neutral with their external links and references to the company's upcoming film, admittedly.
I understand that categories A7 and G11 cannot be simply undeleted which is why I am contacting you. What can I do about the page? I'd be happy to revise it and remove any traces of promotional tone as well as clarify the significance of the subject. Still new to editing wikipedia so I apologize for any mistakes. Thanks Westcovfefe (talk) 04:03, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
- Even if the company invariably shouts its name everywhere else, it is not allowed to do so here. So if you try again, do so at draft:Hipzee. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:11, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

A7 motorway
Hello! This is the planned ro:Autostrada A7 (România). I think that is A5. -- MSClaudiu (talk) 10:26, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- I presume you are talking about my insistence that A7 motorway (Romania) should redirect to Ploiești–Siret Motorway. I suggest you translate ro:Autostrada A7 (România) into English replacing the redirect. We can then argue over whether the two articles should be merged. Certainly this map and this map seem to agree on the route of the A7. You say "I think that is A5". What do you think is the A5?

89.14.147.123 (talk) 14:07, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- No! Fix the hundreds of pages that transclude these templates first, then we can talk about closing the discussion. Also, I assume you are the person that re-applied speedy tags to Template:Infobox Helsinki subdivision and Template:Infobox UAE community using a number of different IP addresses in the process, so please create an account. Editing from an IP address is extremely selfish - it enables you to make "outgoing" comments but we cannot contact you. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:34, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
"Fix the hundreds of pages that transclude these templates first" - What you want to have "fixed" with them that would warrant postponing the closure and replacement? 89.14.93.136 (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
- People are saying "replace and delete". I think this means "in every article that uses {{Infobox South Korean neighborhood}}, replace its usage with {{Infobox settlement}}". What do you think it means? Has it yet been done? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:32, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Yes, that is my understanding. But the order is: 1) Close TFD as "Replace and delete" 2) Replace (using "Subst:") 3) Mark template for deletion 4) Delete template (you have done this step with others). I would perform step 2+3, but an admin should do step 1. 78.55.96.74 (talk) 20:42, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

UNE Works SA article
Hi Please send me my deleted article with notes about the violations. I honestly don't know what is wrong with the article, if I compare it to most of the 250 other watch manufacturing company articles.

I find this whole toolforge / wmfalbs rather complicated but I do intend to do something about it this matter soon. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:42, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Thanks. It will be a major problem if grid refs are permanently down as there are tens of thousands of links to them. Dudley Miles (talk) 22:17, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
Deleted Draft: The Faim (Band)
Hi you recently deleted Draft:The Faim (Band), and was wondering if it's okay to recreate this page? I will bring the article to the standards required by Wikipedia:WikiProject Music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lava Snag (talk • contribs) 08:18, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Texan by Nature
Hi! You deleted our page Draft:Texan by Nature (which was moved from the User: space) for possible copyright infringement. We created the content and used articles from news sources to ensure it wasn't just an advertisement for the nonprofit. I'm brand new to Wikipedia and still navigating how things work. If the page could be undeleted, I'd be happy to fix the issue and resubmit for publication. Thank you!

Deleted Draft: ringDNA
Hi RHaworth! You recently tagged my draft for speedy deletion as the draft read too much like an advertisement. I was wondering if it would be possible to reinstate the text of the draft so I can go in and edit it to read more like an encyclopedia entry, or possibly have it emailed to me so I can just copy and paste? Just hoping to avoid the manual work of retyping every part before I do the required edits. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThisIsZack (talk • contribs) 00:04, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion: Entropia Global
Dear Mr Haworth, the article I uploaded previously was deleted under the code G11. Could you please send it to me to edit? Here is the deletion notification: User talk:Michelleesau#Speedy deletion.

NFETLHE
Hello RHaworth, you recently deleted a draft of this page. Draft:National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education You cited copyright infringement. Please note the document you cited is admissible under CC BY-2.0 which was fully denoted at the end of the article and on the document website. To note, this document provides a chronological rundown of the work of the organisation to date and as such was used as the basis for reference. Where possible, work and achievements were summarised and rewritten for hopefully a suitably abridged history. This document was already successfully appealed for inclusion during the article history. Any feedback would be appreciated and hopefully the reinstatement of this article. Thank you ColinL08 (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
- Just came here to request the same thing (and given how many articles I request for speedy deletion, that's saying something) - I'd originally requested a G12, but following conversation with the original on the talk page, confirmed that the source in question was in fact CC-BY 2.0. The article needed work, but it's not a copyvio. Support undeletion. — creffett (talk) 12:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Strange protection
Kingdom of Koya is not a template and therefore should not have been template protected. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Noted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
So, will you then change the protection level? * Pppery * it has begun... 01:58, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- @RHaworth: WP:PTPROT applies to highly transcluded templates or lua modules, not normal article pages with even restrict extended confirmed User editing. I was about to edit, it showed a view source icon on top and followed instructions. It states to use tat protection exclusively for templates. Unprotect or change it to extended confirmed or sei protection based on temple disruptive history on that page from (auto)confirmed accounts. I recommend a extended confirmed protection. As current protection is more aligned to templates and not articles. That my statement for now, @Pppery: take it to administrator official for a review, like journals, news, articles, etc., are reviewed with existing wiki polices. 2401:4900:1803:7BD1:1:1:615F:9119 (talk) 07:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Deletion problem
Hey RH, looks like you mistakenly also deleted Wikipedia:WikiProject Scientology (presumably with a bunch of its subpages) when the MfD for Portal:Scientology closed as delete. Can you please restore the WikiProject and its subpages? Thanks. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:05, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Is anybody going to use it? It looks awfully dormant. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:48, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
We normally keep inactive WikiProjects; could you please also restore all the subpages so the WikiProject page is not a sea of redlinks? Thanks! UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:34, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- UnitedStatesian, I am still puzzled as to how the wikiproject ever came to my attention. Wikipedia:WikiProject Scientology/Things you can do came to my attention because it transcluded Portal:Scientology/Things you can do and the speedy tag on the latter was not bracketed with <noinclude></noinclude>. But I don't see how that caused all the wikiproject pages to appear in CAT:CSD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:30, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Ghost in the machine, I guess. Anyway, all fixed now; thanks for all your help on this and on everything else. — UnitedStatesian (talk) 11:34, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
user:Sentinel618
Kindly restore my page and/ or email me a copy of the contents. As the title. I have nothing to link because you saw fit to delete it, citing inappropriate reasons. — Sentinel618 (talk) 22:01, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Please read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:48, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
As stated, not only do i have nothing to link to because you deleted it but there is already a link to the page in question (which I was forced to recreate after said deletion) as part of the initial request. Kindly email me a copy of the contents which were erroneously deleted. ETA yet another link to the page in question User:Sentinel618. — Sentinel618 (talk) 05:43, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- You are contradicting yourself: you claim "I have nothing to link to" but you have now provided three times the link that I need. I say the deletion was not erroneous: since 2018 Nov 19 you did about an hundred edits to your user page and zero useful edits. I call that mis-use of Wikipedia as a free host. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:27, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
And I say you are showing yourself to be incompetent but we're all entitled to our opinion. I 'linked' it 3 times but yet you still saw fit to point me to your little whinge post about how much you hate when people don't link the page they reference. Make your mind up otherwise you come off as nothing but a hypocrite who cant extract obvious information from text. A massive portion of your replies are at best condescending and at worst simply offensive. On the other hand, as I noted several times through the ridiculously convoluted method of trying to work out what rule I had broken and trying to simply get my work back, your approach was needlessly heavy handed AND against wikipedia guidelines which suggest a message advising of, and let's be honest here, a rather tiny infraction of the rules, when you consider it was 'my' page which has been read by maybe a dozen people at best vs legitimate vandalism where your efforts would be far greater appreciated. In any event, I have my content. I understand now specifically, through no direct help of anyone involved, what rule I broke and will find a different means of storing this in future.

TripleLift
Hi - can you please help me understand why you deleted the TripleLift company page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezberry (talk • contribs) 17:28, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
In more detail, you said it was unambiguous advertising, but everything was cited to a third party article. If it's a verifiable source, it's not exactly advertising - how do you define this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezberry (talk • contribs) 17:31, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Draft:NiceLabel
Hello, I need to create a Wikipedia site for a school project. It needs to be about a company that is not described on the Wikipedia yet. You deleted my page stating that it was advertising ... but I have no connections with the company, I would just like to finish my school project. :) I presented it citing sources on the web, I do not know what else to do. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nekineki (talk • contribs) 19:54, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
- What you need to do is:
- select a company of unquestionable notability
- be aware that words like "leading global" are pretty meaningless and spammy
- provide at least three references to reliable sources
- do not begin each bulleted list item with "Bulleted list item"!
- Good luck. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:30, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Wondering if I could get it unlocked. It now has media attention on news sites and I believe that it has reliable sources to be created now.

- I keep seeing funnies cause by river straightening: Marble Hill is on the mainland and looks like it is part of the Bronx but it insists on being part of Manhattan; Argedava looks like it was once in a secure position surrounded on three sides by the Argeș and Liberland. But at least Liberland is habitable and has been visited. I suspect the proposers of Verdis have never even been there. However the page was in draft space so I have unprotected it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:30, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
- One story in one tabloidy website. Perhaps this is an emerging "micronation". If so, why push it? When it has fully emerged, it will have lots of press coverage, and will merit an article. -- Hoary (talk) 09:34, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
Can I ask?
How can I upload again that image of the headquarters of Achaia Channel, so the image can be allowed on Wikipedia? (There ARE such images on Wikipedia (see example), and I did put a rationale implying that the image is non-free, and according to the non-free image template I put, the use of a limited number of such screenshots for identification and critical commentary relating to the website in question, or on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use)/ — NickBlamp (talk) 12:57, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

deletion of ANIFA page
Dear RHaworth
The page I am writing about a fashion brand ANIFA has been deleted. The description and content has been very neutral with all references from reputable newspapers and media.

Nicolas Chaillan's page
Sir, The pages Nicolas Chaillan and Nicolas M. Chaillan used to exist but it seems it was deleted from Wikipedia (for unknown reason, as soon as he became the Chief Architect for the Department of Homeland Security by non U.S. Wikipedia reviewers). This is obviously quite concerning. Old page: here. Last Wall St Journal article. He has dozens of articles/interviews on Google.
Chaillan was the founder of 12 companies and then sold his last company to Qualys (publicly traded $3B) before becoming their CTO and then re-joining the U.S. Government as the first-ever Chief Software Officer for the U.S. Air Force manage their entire Software workforce and weapons systems, including DevSecOps and AI/ML.
He is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council and a Board Member of the Certified Ethical Hacker certification... This is quite significant and I would like to re-create the page but it seems it has been blocked and only administrators can do so. Can you please help? Thank you, JB — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeanbernard2019 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
- Learn to provide links to the actual article/s not some scraped version. "Unknown reason" indeed! - read this - each page has been deleted three times and there is a clear reason given in each deletion log entry.
- It may well be true that any future war will be won by the side with the better software so the comment made in the AfD "sounds like the kind of person from whom more will be heard in future years" may have proved true. I have not (yet) protected draft:Nicolas M. Chaillan but, given the past history, you probably have a CoI so rather than post your new text directly, it might be better to do so via a "sponsor". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:57, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
