[edit] David Christian response

No hard feelings and sorry about the jab. It's just that I've been on here long enough that I've become suspicious of new accounts (which of course we all start as). Good job on the David Christian article - thousand times better. I'll review it a little later (bit busy at work right now), but I might withdraw my nomination.--Nobunaga24 03:05, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:Kingsmen00

Can I userfy his article although I am not an admin? Bearian 22:10, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I think he needs to do it though.Horrorshowj 03:50, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morgan the escapist

I think your comments on the AfD for Morgan the Escapist are a bit harsh (and a little hypocritical considering your request on your user page about going easy on you because you're a newbie). I was briefly tempted to nominate your Sasha Knox article but that would have been in bad spirit even though there's a case against it. Morgan is notable and I thank you for partially recognising this with your comment that you think she'll "get there one day". What I'm asking is that people give a bit of leeway to allow better sources to be added.Circusandmagicfan 07:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)Circusandmagicfan

[edit] Morgan the escapist

You've really confused me now. As of this post, you have posted two comments on the Morgan the Escapist AfD, both seemingly contradicting each other. I even went as far as checking the page history, to see if you really had added both of those comments yourself. Turns out you did, and both in one edit (see diff). The top one shows no understanding of Wikipedia requirements on referencing and notability, while the bottom one pretty much backs up everything I said. —gorgan_almighty 15:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

They aren't contradictory at all. It's WP:RS not WP:NS. There are plenty of smaller circulation newspapers, peer-reviewed academic journals, technical journals and university press published books that can't pass WP:N but would be considered reliable sources in their areas. I've previously seen an AfD for subject of a biography written by a history professor, and an argument against subject notability because the book wasn't notable. So "notable sources" is a pet peeve of mine, because most of my WP time is spent in AfD.
Nothing in the article came from anything reliable or independent. If Escape Key were the most notable escapologist site in the world, I still wouldn't buy what was presented as proof of her notability. Like I said Weekly World News has notability in spades, reliability not so much. Horrorshowj 10:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reggie Bennett

I looked over the Reggie Bennett page, and I don't think you need to worry about it being AfD's again. The page does have a few sources now and establishes her notability. You should probably ask WP:Japan for help, because I really don't know much about her. Also, I tried to look for some info, but didn't come up with much. Another thing you might could try if you find a page in Japanese is use an internet translator. I don't know of any good ones because I've never had to translate Japanese before, but I'm sure there is a good one out there somewhere.

I wish I could help more. Sorry. Nikki311 03:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Harry Duiven Jr. AfD

Sorry, I was offline and I didn't get a chance to reply before the AFD closed. I see that it closed as a delete, and although my last comment was "weak keep", I won't be shedding any tears for that article.
I still think it's an interesting question, where is the line drawn for that type of athlete. With your traditional team sports there's that clear line, play in the pro's and your in, but it's a lot more of a gray area with fighters and the like. But that's a question for another day.

[edit] Yes Min AfDs

I wasn't aware that there was a multi-article AfD procedure; I just used WP:TW. The reason I wasn't bold and doing it myself is that a certain admin stalks me and objects to everything I do, so I didn't consider it worth trying this time. Cheers,--Rambutan (talk) 18:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sasha Knox

Companies do sit on scenes (not movies) for months even years after production. I am one of the curator of IAFD and the majority of those movies you point to show production dates for the individual scenes prior to her retirement. AFAIK she has stayed retired since her stated date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinh1313 (talk • contribs) 23:22, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New World

"it is in austraillia in a galaxy far far away." No, it's not.--69.118.235.97 22:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Oops. You reverted while I was lining up mine. Horrorshowj 22:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AFD of Faith Benson-McKnight

Good evening. I've added a fourth article to your AfD nomination for Faith Benson-McKnight, as the character Rhea Fitzgerald seems to be just as non-notable and hoax-y. Since they're purported to be from the same show, which is also included, I thought it prudent to add one to the other. Hope you don't mind. Thanks!

[edit] response to question from my talkpage

Hey Horror, did my answers here adequately address your questions/concerns? What do you think of the idea?Balloonman (talk) 20:02, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Would you take a look?

An image used in the article on the first Bangladeshi pornstar Jazmin, Image:WorshipThisBitch3.jpg, the cover of the DVD that made her the selling point, a first for a Bangladeshi, is up for deletion here. You may be interested to take a look. Aditya(talk • contribs) 21:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not that far apart

Hi Horror, I just saw a post of yours in the how to fix the additional criteria section and I really don't think we are too far apart. Based upon my reading of your posts, your primary concern is that the essays will be given undue weight at AfD's. I think that is addressed via the template that we've proposed:

{{essay-project-note}}

This essay explicitly relegates the essays to a secondary role. The sentence, "It is not a policy or guideline, and editors are free to, but not obliged to follow it during XfD's." Won't be missed by people and it won't take long before people are educated to the fact that project-essays are secondary to N/BIO. For example, a project has written a guideline. Currently, an article goes up for AfD and somebody then points to the project's guidelines. Regardless of what scrutiny that guideline has had, it is instantly viewed as gospel by half of the XfD audience. The proposal is designed to establish the relationship between N/BIO/ORG/etc and the wikiprojects---with the wikiprojects as a secondary to the guidelines. By slapping the template on the essays, people won't ignore the key sentence. I say that because suppose I nominate an article for deletion. You then use a project's essay as proof that the subject is notable. I can then point to the sentence that I quoted above. If the essay has been used repeatedly and deemed valid, then it will garner respect at AfD's (ala the Baseball criteria.) Again, I don't think we are too far apart on our desires.Balloonman (talk) 18:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Britney Rears

Hello Horrorshowj. How are you? The article is better. However, you also have to convince other users. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 10:19, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: User:Dimension31 Sock Block

That's a fair point. I really, really don't like going back on my blocks, though... I'd personally wait and see if there's any reform. If you're unhappy with that solution (and you're free to be!) please bring it to other admins' attention on WP:AN or WP:ANI. Thanks, ~ Riana ⁂ 12:39, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bullshido AfD

Hiya, thanks for the notification, could you fix the links you added as they currently link to the old afd not the current one (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bullshido (2nd nomination)) and may confuse people, Thanks agian --Nate1481(t/c) 09:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I may as well steal this header. You're right, looking back it probably should've been a delete; another editor asked me and I told him I thought the sources were good, but they don't really look that good anymore considering most deal with the site's notability. A deletion review, perhaps? Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 21:13, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
