[edit] Arfenhouse

I see that the Arfenhouse article has been deleted for failing WP:WEB even though it doesn't. I had a big page written explaining that too but I saved it in Word and decided to keep it short. Is there a way to start talk page on restoring the Arfenhouse article? Joe Capricorn 07:20, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

The procedure for this would be a deletion review.--Rosicrucian 15:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Rather than an essay explaining why we got it wrong, you might be better off working on a short version of the article that demonstrates that we did. The problems discussed in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arfenhouse are twofold, and related: it was believed it didn't meet WP:WEB, and perhaps more importantly, there was no sign of any reliable verifiable sources discussing the topic in any depth. (The definition of "reliable sources" is strict. It doesn't include blogs, forums, user-editable review sites, or self-published sources of any kind.) There need to be secondary sources too: not only material published by the makers of Arfenhouse.

You could work on such an article in your user-space, like at User:Joe Capricorn/Arfenhouse, then either ask around if people agreed it belongs here, or take it to Wikipedia:Deletion review. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFA "vandal"

I think the edit that is being discussed here is the added category of 'hate groups'; I saw this as a childish attempt at 'humorous vandalism' (such as replacing 'darts' in the dart board article with 'children'.) I did not check to see if this added category was, in fact, accurate or not, but my assumption was, having 'family' in the acronym, that the edit was nothing but a joke. My usual job is to have a few hundred edits to go through in a matter of a couple of hours, so I tend to go off on blind assumptions in an attempt to keep up with the massive amount of edits made to WikiPedia each day. If you feel that category is accurately placed, then feel free to re-add it; but don't be suprised if someone else removes it too. - Kribbeh 16:39, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

To a void any conflict I will not attempt to re-add the link to list of purported hate groups in the AFA page, nor will I add any such link with any borderline hate groups / pro-family groups such as Exodus International or Focus on the Family. Also, I did not intend on committing any vandalism - otherwise I would've done more than add a link. If I do any further edits, it would be backed up with credible resources from now on. For now, I'll be focusing on expanding the article on Bernville, Pennsylvania (my home town) as soon as I get more acquainted with Wikipedia. --Joe Capricorn 19:03, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Priscilla Ahn

The Exceptional Newcomer Award
You've been here for a couple of years, but never really got into it. So you're still eligible for this barnstar :-). Great job on Priscilla Ahn.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:29, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, it looks like she meets the WP:BIO standard. I don't know why it was previously speedy deleted, I can't see the deleted version. By the way, she's cute. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:46, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm on terra incognita in re the music world, but WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles is the notability standard for bands. If reliable sources back up those standards, then the band is in. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 06:18, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
