[edit] IC Championship Article

I saw that you edited the article and took down my edit. I added a footnote with video evidence that the "Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship" was a former name of the belt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SChaos1701 (talk • contribs) 08:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Matt

I'm not sure, why don't you ask WP:PW. iMatthew _T.C. 10:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] It's like it's been years...

...And maybe it has. One thing's for sure, it's been a long time Darren. How've you been? Cheers, -The Hybrid- 09:26, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah, bad weather, one of the bitter-sweet blessings of living in a desert. It's going to be unspeakably hot (115^oF usually by June and through August), but it will consistently be unspeakably hot :P. BTW, the guidelines about no chit-chat aren't enforced at all, unless the users do nothing but chit-chat, play with signatures, etc. It may not even be a guideline anymore. Anyways, the IC Title thing, you made a good call when you said that the video can't be cited, but luckily Mshake knew the way to allow the information into the article. Though, Lid made a good point when he said that WP:IAR would allow for the information to be in the article, even if it had to be unsourced (WP:IAR doesn't trump the law after all ^_^). Cheers, -The Hybrid- 09:43, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I was happy to do it. I hope we continue crossing paths like this. Cheers, -The Hybrid- 09:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremy Moulton

Hi Darren. I thought that redirecting Jeremy Moulton to Southampton was a rather odd thing to do; given that, as you stated [1], he isn't even mentioned in that article it seems rather unhelpful. However, I agree that his notability is borderline at best, so I've sent it to AfD instead (see this for the debate). So you may like to join in that.

Professional Wrestling Article Stats The number of stub articles has decreased to its lowest level since the project began its focus on improving them. The goal is to get the number below 600, and we're getting close. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.

[edit] My WWE Employee Edit

Please don't take down my edit. I have shown a properly reference indisputable fact from WWE Corporate that WWE Wrestlers are independent contractors. And to take down a properly referenced indisputable fact is vandalism; especially without using the talk page to do it. So please don't vandalize this article. I've used a properly referenced indisputable fact and I'm right. What you're doing is vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SChaos1701 (talk • contribs) 15:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Barack Obama caucus and primary campaign

I have nominated Barack Obama caucus and primary campaign, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barack Obama caucus and primary campaign. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Loonymonkey (talk) 15:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redlink on AfD

Yes, I was in the process of fixing that at the time you did. Twinkle messed up somehow. I re-did the nomination through Twinkle and now it's fine. Thanks, --Michael White^T·C 12:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Not at all :-) --Michael White^T·C 12:52, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cult list

Darren, please withdraw your nomination of this page for deletion, in whatever capacity that is possible. I do understand that you nominated it in good faith based upon the talk page commentary of those who share my view that that the page should get the axe. It is, however, entirely irregular to nominate without a deletion rationale, which is why the very instructions for creating the discussion page ask for a "reason the page should be deleted." See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion. As UltraExactZZ has pointed out normal discussion cannot proceed, because conventionally most AfD comments refute the rationale for deletion or agree/expand upon it. This rationale is essential so that discussion isn't all over the place. Thanks.PelleSmith (talk) 13:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I have changed my vote, so now there is a basis for discussion. Darrenhusted (talk)

Darren there is no basis for discussion. This process is built upon a nomination with a rationale for deletion. Please read Wikipedia:Guide_to_deletion#Nomination. You are correct that there is no clear policy language saying: "Do not nominate a page without a clear reason to delete," but I think this is implied rather clearly on every policy and guideline page regarding this matter. As I've already shown you above the instructions you should follow in listing the article even ask for the reason to delete, something you haven't provided, nor would you since you don't want it deleted. If you read the other link I just provided, you will see that the Guide to deletion treats nomination as if the nominator wants to delete the article and has some reason for believing this is correct.PelleSmith (talk) 14:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

I've asked for admins to have a look at the AfD. As I've already said, I think you're entirely acting in good faith, and have made that explicit in my request (which is not about you at all but about the AfD). Either way here is the link to the AN/I request. Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Improper_AfD_-_Administrator_help_requested. Regards.PelleSmith (talk) 15:43, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
