[edit] SleepResearch_Facility
- Original post at User talk:Quarl/Archive 2006-11#Reconsider speedy deletion of SleepResearch_Facility
I see you are the admin who deleted the article on SleepResearch_Facility (SR_F). I wish to contest this speedy deletion. It was deleted due to CSD A7 (not notable). Here is my evidence for the notability of the artist, using two criteria.
"Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)."
SR_F has released two albums on Manifold Records, and one album on Cold Spring Records.
Cold Spring is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1990 [1]) with a roster of performers (45 artists [2]), many of which are notable. Cold Spring artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Psychic TV, Genesis P-Orridge, Merzbow, Z'EV, Sol Invictus, Laibach, Masonna, C.C.C.C., Werkraum, Shinjuku Thief, The Grey Wolves, Von Thronstahl, A Challenge of Honour, Zos Kia, Kreuzweg Ost, Crash Worship, Sutcliffe Jugend.
Manifold Records is an independent label with a history of more than a few years (began in 1993 [3]) with a roster of performers (31 artists [4]), many of which are notable. Manifold Records artists with Wikipedia entries, in rough order of notability: Steve Roach (Manifold release [5]), Maeror Tri, Robert Rich, DJ Spooky, Maurizio Bianchi, Arto Lindsay, Aube, Paul Schütze, Lull, Rapoon, Final, Alan Licht, Beequeen.
"Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers (although university newspapers are usually fine), personal blogs, etc.)."
Steve Roach, one of the biggest names in ambient music, has written a very positive review [6] of SR_F's albums Dead Weather Machine and Dead Weather Machine_Re:Heat on his official website [7], and even sold the album from his mail order online store [8] while stocks lasted.
Between 1997 and 2003, AmbiEntrance (at Internet Archive [9]) was one of the definitive websites for ambient, electronic and experimental music. It individually reviewed approximately 900 albums, and interviewed over 50 artists, including big names such as Steve Roach, Terre Thaemlitz, In The Nursery, Richard Bone, Taylor Deupree, Robert Rich, Muslimgauze, Paul Haslinger and Lustmord. It reviewed SR_F's album Nostromo, and gave it a high rating (8.9 out of 10) [10].
SR_F's work has also been broadcast on Dutch Radio 4FM, very positively reviewed [11] [12] at Aural Pressure, and is sold [13] [14] at the famous Hypnos Online Store.
I consider that to be sufficient evidence for SR_F to be "notable"! -- Slowspace 18:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Silmarillion userbox
- Original post at User talk:Uthanc#Silmarillion userbox
Just a quick note to say many thanks for your Silmarillion userbox {{User:Uthanc/userboxes/Sil}}. It's one of my all-time favourite books, and I've got the gorgeous hardback version illustrated by Ted Nasmith. I like your wording in the userbox – many LOTR fans probably haven't even heard of the Sil! Looks like you're working damn hard on loads of Tolkien-related stuff... keep up the good work! :-) --Slowspace 03:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] You're welcome, and thank you
I just try to contribute what I know. Uthanc 05:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Second Life - thanks
- Original post at User_talk:Metamagician3000#Second Life - thanks
Just to say thanks for the good work you're doing on the Second Life article. I see it was proposed as an FA candidate at the end of Dec 2006, but rejected (not surprisingly). I've been working on it a bit recently, and I intend to continue helping until it's in better shape and can be put up for peer review. With everyone's help, maybe we can get it to FA status one day :) —Slowspace 16:01, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Second Life
Thanks. I replied as follows on my talk page: Thanks. Yes, I'd like to get it through the usual processes, culminating in another FA application. The first one was rather premature, but it did focus me on thinking about what would have to happen for the article to be a genuine FA contender. Metamagician3000 22:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Second Life technical issues
At Talk:Second Life, you wrote: "As Pak says, try the Second Life: Technical Issues forum.". Unfortunately, there's a bit of a chicken and egg situation here: you need to be logged in to read that, and you can't log in until you've logged onto SL at least once, and you can't log in to SL until you've got the viewer running... but this isn't really a Wikipedia problem :-) Cheers --Pak21 08:22, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reminder about the forum requirements! I've replied on the SL talk page. —Slowspace 12:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
