[edit] Cyrus Farivar

Hello, Centrepull, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

While I disagree with the attitude of User:Snowspinner (now known as User:Phil Sandifer) shown in that discussion and consider it anti-community, one should note that it has been clarified since then that the Articles for Deletion process is not a vote. I think you should let the dust settle on this issue for a while (perhaps another year) before bringing it up again for another AfD. Adding {{notability}} to the page is not really helpful.

Again, welcome!  --Grouse 17:55, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cyrus Farivar

These discussions are preserved for the historical record and are not intended to be edited once closed, so I've removed your comments. If you wish to take issue with the decision, bring it up at Wikipedia:Deletion review or propose it for deletion again by starting a new discussion by following the instructions on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion page. Thank you. Gamaliel 18:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

If you excise everything else and judge him by his credentials as a journalist, Wikipedia's standards say keep. Why this sudden, strong interest in a year-old debate? :)

[edit] More Farivar

I replied to your email, but it keeps bouncing, so I'll post it here:

CP,

Thanks for wanting to be a part of this project.

The Farivar article has been nominated for deletion twice, and obviously has survived both. The last nominaiton wasin August 2005, so it is not too soon to renominate it. However since you are still learning the ropes I'd suggest waiting until you've mastered talk pages. I'd also suggest reading the previous nominations so you can see the issues raised already.

I have no special interest in the article. There was a contrhttp://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/button_image.png Embedded imageoversy about the article that attracted my attention, and I've just been in a maintenance mode. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page once you've figured it out. do Cheers, Will

PS: Reading this talk page I see you seem quite concerned about this article, and it lookslike you may have a personal bias in the matter. -Will Beback 22:44, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


Hmmm, I took no further part in the Farivar controversy while I learnt the ropes, but I 'do' think that the final decision to delete was the correct one. It was a self-produced vanity page, and nothing more than that, and such articles degrade the perception of WKP, and act as a poor precedent for others.

[edit] Windows ME

I wasn't the one who put that in the article, I was merely quoting that from the existing article so that my comments about that would make sense. -- R'nway [ T C ] 22:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greenlighting hoax

Sorry for the delay, I've been on wikipedia break (but not mediawiki). The main reason I removed that AfD because the article had just survived an AfD a few days before. Turnstep 23:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam in IJailBreak

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on IJailBreak, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because IJailBreak is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting IJailBreak, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
