Hi Blowdart. Just to remind you that 'advert' is not a reason for speedy deletion. I recommend using {{prod}} or {{afd}}. DJ Clayworth 14:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

See I'd disagree, the very existance of a template where you can specify the reason would lead me to think that any reason is fair game :) --Blowdart 16:45, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
There are actually very strict rules regarding what can be speedily deleted. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion for more information. If they don't fit then you can use Wikipedia:Proposed deletion or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. DJ Clayworth 03:39, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Blowdart, While it seems that you are a strident user of this system I am new and wonder how to react to you tagging my first contribution on fish lures (a very mundane and trite subject)with this ADVERT tag with no way of understanding what brought you to this decision. While it may not be of the highest publication quality I believe this is a bit of a rash judgement.

First of all, according to the Wikipedia standards, I believe it meets the satndards. I quote "Advertising. Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic..." The base of discussion was concerning Akron, Ohio (a town I lived in 30+ years ago) is credited with the first commercial fish lures according to the Wikipedia Akron, Ohio listing (check it yourself) and that caught my curiosity. It also became the stimulus to investigate this subject, and inso became an intregal part of the story I felt.

Secondly; I not only do not have any connection with any of the companies discussed, hell I don't even fish! I found out the topic existed in my curiosity about the I-76 route of the U.S. Interstate system. I was just surprised anything of much note other than rubber and Lebron James came out of Akron.

So if you might be so kind, could you take a few minutes to guide me to what might be so offensive about this article and what you might suggest to improve it. Other than that I might be led to believe your action may be assumed to be just something to do out of boredom. This being based on your response to DJ Clayworth, "the very existance of a template where you can specify the reason would lead me to think that any reason is fair game :) --Blowdart"

[edit] "Platique"

Thanks for catching and fixing my typo so quickly! --Ed (Edgar181) 18:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NRSRO

Thanks! I'm new to this and didn't catch that I had included the plural in the article. (Epstein's Mother 04:40, 2 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Re: Crazy Monkey Games

Sorry about that... I was watching the "recent changes" and saw an IP vandal add obscenities to a URL. As it happened, the original URL itself was also bogus. I didn't see your revision, and the "popup" reversion tool didn't warn me another edit had been made in the meantime – I'll have to look out for that in future!

[edit] Cappagh

Fair enough. I did make the original version controversial to try and attract some interest. ;) I've a few days off next week so might have a go at making a template table for NI villages/towns.

Were you referring to the James McDade article when you said "active service makes you seeth"?GiollaUidir 22:28, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kuki Gallman deletion

Although it may have had the "hoax look", the content of the Kuki Gallman article was true, so I removed the speedy deletion tag. Ardric47 23:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Subtext

Hi. I replied on my talk page. Cheers, CiaranG 18:11, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

And again. CiaranG 20:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

thanks for stopping those two word new articles. does he not know what an encyclopedia is? some of them may even be notable but if you create a two word under-stub you can't expect it not to be deleted!

[edit] Your db tag on Dave Carnie

Please take the time to read the history page before automatically adding a speedy deletion tag. There was only one edit with the edit summary as "page creation, more coming...." before you added the tag. Please assume good faith, I am still creating the page. - Ocatecir 15:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but every time I see more coming it usually doesn't. Unless you're going to mark it as a stub, rather than rely on creation comments, it's fair game in my eyes. Why didn't you just wait and submit it as a "complete" article rather than a single sentence. Even now you filled it out I really don't see what's notable about him at all, until you finally justified it with imdb and jackass links --Blowdart 15:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daithi McKay

He is a candidate for the 2007 elections, and an elected councillor etc, and may be a MLA soon. To fully develop the Northern Ireland Assembly election, 2007 article, isnt it a good idea to have an article about each candidate? Frainc 11:21 14 February 2007

Not convinced to be honest. Merely being elected isn't, to my mind, that notable. Feel free to remove the db if you feel otherwise. --Blowdart 11:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your db tag on Ellen Hanley

Please check the date and time when consider nominating an article for deletion. I am in the middle of creating this article, based on the official biography template - which needs to be saved empty first before I can work on it. Please consider this before add a speedy to a new page. I see you've been reminded above about the policies and procedures regarding nominating deletions, and the strict criteria required for a speedy deletion. These are official policies, they are not optional - even if you disagree with them - so I suggest that you read them again Madmedea 11:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough, expect of course you can happily create a user page using the template and edit that before add the new article, which would cull the number of misunderstandings. --Blowdart 11:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rasul_Bux_Palejo

Can i know the reason why you tag this artilce for deletion.Please be carefull while putting tags.Khalidkhoso 20:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Simple; no assertion notability. As the tag says. Even if the attributes suggested are true there are no references to prove them. Careful? I find the tag entirely justified. --Blowdart 20:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
this artilce is taken from other language of Wikipedia check this[[1]]. Khalidkhoso 20:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Then translate it and put the full article and picture in, rather than create what is an empty article. If you are worried about your english then you will find other people will correct minor mistakes. But right now a one line article and a link to another wikipedia is not an assertion of notability. --Blowdart 20:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
will you give me time to do some work on it.rather then i should get warning from you.Please Khalidkhoso 20:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
will give me little time to do some work and put some work and links.Khalidkhoso 20:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
If deleting artilce makes you Happy then you can delete it.Khalidkhoso 20:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
B the you can check these links [[2]],[[3]],[[4]],[[5]](Dawn News Papers),[[6]],[[7]](gulfnews),[[8]].Khalidkhoso 21:01, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
It is not about just adding links. You must add more details. One line about someone without pointing out which link justifies your opinions is simply not suitable. Take a look around at some other politician articles for good examples. --Blowdart 21:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
I just started artilce next second it had warning i am not machine ,i am searching and adding stuff on it.it work with steps rather then i should copy-paste from some other site.Khalidkhoso 21:20, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks ,piece of advice just give little time to other to make some thing.Khalidkhoso 21:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rasul_Bux_Palejo

Hello Now can you have some grammatical improvements in article.Khalidkhoso 21:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
