[edit] AfD nomination of In Fair Palestine
I have nominated In Fair Palestine, 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/In Fair Palestine. 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.

[edit] Welcome
Hi jo! Welcome to Wikipedia! I took a look at In Fair Palestine and added a couple of English language sources I found. I also asked others in the deletion debate to explain why foreign language sources cannot be used to establish notability. I hope the article is indeed kept, but if it is deleted, we can always recreate it once we find more and better sources, something that is sure to happen once the film is more widely screened and distributed. I also wanted to say that it looks like a great project and that I hope to have a chance to see the film myself one day soon. Any plans for a screening in Nazareth? Would you like to have help in setting one up? Let me know if I can help with that or anything else. Samidoon. Tiamuttalk 18:15, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- One more thing ... do you have links to articles that were published in the Arab press on the film? I can look for some myself, but it would help me if you could pass whatever Arabic sources you have onto me as well. Tiamuttalk 18:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jo! I would also like to welcome you to wikipedia! Just one small note: we normally do not start different articles about the same subject, like In Fair Palestine.. and In Fair Palestine: a story of Romeo and Juliet (film) ...it is really to much to update ;-P So, what we do instead is to have one main article, and then possible have many alternative speelings/titles which just redirect to the main article, like: #REDIRECT [[In Fair Palestine]]. Which is what I have done to your article In Fair Palestine: a story of Romeo and Juliet (film). If you want to look at anything there (that isn´t in the In Fair Palestine article, then your last version is here. Ok, good luck to you, and hope to see you around, Regards, Huldra (talk) 06:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Jo! Thank you for your note. First a small issue: when you leave a message at any "talk"-page, you can easily sign you message by typing 4 "~", that is, like this:~~~~. This will then automatically translate into your username and a timestamp. It makes it so much easier to read. Also: it is customary to add new messages at the bottom of a talk-page. (I hope all these rules etc doesn´t frighten or intimidate you! ) Now to your question: I am not quite sure what you want: do you want both In Fair Palestine.. and In Fair Palestine: a story of Romeo and Juliet (film) deleted? Or do you want In Fair Palestine: a story of Romeo and Juliet (film) to be the "main" article, and In Fair Palestine to be just a redirect? If it is this last option, then anybody can do that easily; however, if it is actually deleting an article completely, then only an administrator can do that. Also, take a look at Wikipedia:SPEEDY for the criteria to remove a page. Take care, and good luck, Regards, Huldra (talk) 04:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] In Fair Palestine
The article was kept, which means we can now work on developing it further. Thanks for starting it. Tiamuttalk 12:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm. Are you sure? It looks like the AfD is still open. Also, you've deleted the AfD tag. Please restore it or ask somebody at the AfD discussion to restore it for you. Thanks. HG | Talk 16:03, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oops. Looks like you're right HG. I saw Addhoc's comment in my watchlist and assumed he closed the debate, rather than voted. I didn't remove the deletion tag myself, but I have left a note on the deletion page about its disappearance (it wasn't removal, so much that the page has been redirected to a new title and the template wasn't placed in the new version). I don't know if I can append the tag myself, so I've asked for help. We'll see what happens. An admin should close soon anyway, given that it's been six days. Tiamuttalk 18:25, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Oh sorry i thought that the discussion was closed too, so i thought it was ok to redirect the page, i'll try to see if i can get the AfD tag back up.jo (talk) 20:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
