[edit] Deletion proposal and article expansion

Hey, Pavel Tsatsouline was proposed for deletion yesterday. I reversed that proposal because I thought it wasn't an obvious deletion, but it still has an {{importance}} tag on it and is likely to be nominated for AfD. If you think the article should be kept, you might try to make it more clearly meet WP:BIO. NickelShoe 17:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Yes, I'll try to build it up a bit according to that.Tyciol 19:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Because it's a redlink farm, has a very low number of incoming links (only 3 from article space, 1 of which is an article about his company), and no strong assertion of notability. User:NickelShoe and I have been discussing this at my talk page, and I'll hold off on any action for now. Persuade me he's notable and I won't even trouble us all with a nomination :-) (or indeed myself with having to do some serious research) One of the good things about thye deletion process is how often it leads to very positive action, such as the improvements of articles, the starting of new cleanup initiatives, etc. I've plenty of evidence of these on my talk pages. Perhaps this can be such a case.

Yeah, you're right, I tried to remove as many red links as possible. Tyciol 02:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dragon door merges

I'm more concerned about Dragon Door. Any chance you could merge?

Dragon Door concerns people other than Pavel, so probably not. I have a separate article on the Warrior diet and if I ever learn anything about the guy, one on Ori Hofmekler would work. Tyciol 02:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I think you could merge Ori Hofmekler, Warrior Diet and Dragon Door into one article, either Ori Hofmekler or Warrior Diet? --kingboyk 02:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I can't merge Dragon Door into either Ori or Pavel, as they're individual authors, that's just the company which they (and many others) write through. Warrior diet is an individual concept, which has it's own because it is a dieting article. Ori has his own because he's not solely a dieting author, he's also a previous author for Penthouse magazine. Tyciol 04:12, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talk section before deletion?

I'm not sure why anyone would propose to delete it... usually such things are put in the talk section first. .Tyciol 19:20, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I can assure you that they're not usually put in the talk section first. But that doesn't mean it would hurt to do that. Good luck on the expansion. NickelShoe 19:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

In my experience, most deletion nominations are emphatically not discussed first. I don't know why (time, maybe, as most are janitorial actions) - perhaps they should be - but generally they aren't. --kingboyk 19:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ISBNs

Someone on another talk page suggested you add the ISBN's for the books. I looked up the ISBNs myself, but I was too lazy to sort the books by date. I'll feel bad about that later and do it myself if no one else does. NickelShoe 19:41, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Nice work NickelShoe! If one or two of those have any sort of Amazon rank to them showing significant sales, this article is now a slam dunk keep. Happy editing! (not by me! Exercise??? what the heck is THAT! LOL.) ++Lar: t/c 01:45, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, thank you as well, ISBNs and technical details have never been my forte... such things are probably listed on the sales pages though I guess. Tyciol 02:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding "Citation Needed" for Tsatsouline in Rolling Stone Mag

This particular "What's Hot" in Rolling Stone Magazine appeared on page 95 of the August 30, 2001 issue. He was listed as a "Hot Trainer." --Graywolf 70 06:33, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
