[edit] BE CAREFUL WITH DELETIONS!

You deleted Contra body movement without checking article's history. In fact it was trivially vandalized. `'mikka (t) 01:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vehicular deletion?

I got a message from User:Seasalt asking if I could help him understand why his article on the Ducati Pantah got deleted. I've read the article, there's a mess of renames to take care of, but I don't understand the deletion either. Could you explain? Thanks. DS 13:26, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Academy (band) on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Academy (band). Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. Sam Blanning(talk) 17:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion Repeal

You deleted the article Gharaibeh. Just the day before I put the tag in requesting a stay on deletion as i am in the process of gathering information. 1 day is insufficient to gather the information. Please read the history & comments before removing the article, as the article does not qualify for speedy deletion because it's validity is disputed. It should have been moved to the AfD page for consideration. Please restore the article so I can finish updating it. Viscouse 17:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] Change of Cheap Sunglasses to a redirect.

After Cheap Sunglasses was tagged as a speedy delete, you changed it to a redirect to Degüello. However, before the deletion notice was added, a (relatively) significant part of the article was deleted (diff). I think that the article should stay as it was instead of a redirect. Your thoughts? --Daniel Olsen 05:43, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

[edit] Rhodri philipps

Hi, another admin has informed me that you speedy deleted the article above. It had been nominated because of missing notability. I have reverted the article Viscount St Davids, where User:Robertaroland (the same User who has created the article Rhodri philipps) has tried to insert a link (see [1]). It seems now that his creation was about the oldest son und heir of Colwyn Philipps, 3rd Viscount St Davids (through this of course notable), but failed to pipe the redlink and to mention the connection in the text. So would you please revert the deletion, if his creation wasn't absolute rubbish? Greetings ~~ Phoe talk 16:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC) ~~

Unfortunately, simply being the son of someone notable does not make you notable. Once the current Viscount St Davids dies, an article will be created for the new one. Luigi30 (Taλk) 21:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, sorry but this isn't right. As oldest son he is automatically Heir-Apparent and as such he is notable. I quote from Wikipedia:Notability (royalty): # British Peers and holders of courtesy titles (i.e. heirs apparent), as well as those holding the Scottish substantive title of "Master" or "Mistress" given to heirs are automatically notable, as are their spouses. Articles on spouses may be merged with articles on Peers if there is little chance of their articles becoming more than stubs. Other relations of British peers only qualify if they qualify under WP:BIO. Greetings ~~ Phoe talk 22:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC) ~~
Oh, royalty. I was thinking Paris Hilton's sister or whatever it was there was an argument about last month. Luigi30 (Taλk) 22:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Erm, I don't understand what you want to say with the last sentence. Maybe do you want to tell me that you do not accept my argument? ~~ Phoe talk 22:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC) ~~
I was saying I was thinking royalty fell under the celebrity banner instead of its own, I was agreeing with you actually :P Luigi30 (Taλk) 01:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, it is nice that you agree with me, but why do you not have restored the deleted article then? Is there still an obstacle or another problem? By the way, you have seen the text, I'am not. So if you say to me that it was rubbish and trash, I will believe it and the matter has been settled for me. However I would hate it to lost a eventually good stub, only because his creator had forgotten to mention the subject's notability. Best wishes ~~ Phoe talk 17:36, 8 November 2006 (UTC) ~~
It's restored and moved to Rhodri Phillips. Luigi30 (Taλk) 18:20, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Aye, I will look what I can do out of it. Many thanks for your patience and effort. ~~ Phoe talk 19:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC) ~~

[edit] Bebi

I noticed you deleted the page Bebi to do a history merge, but where did you merge it to? Was it a mistake or something? Nemu 20:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I got caught up and wasn't able to do it, or undo the deletion. I'll undelete it now, but I can't do the merge at this time. Luigi30 (Taλk) 20:40, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Juliana da Costa José

Hallo, today you've deleted the article about Juliana da Costa José. Please could you send me the text (as Mail). She's a friend of mine and I would like to see what there was written. Thanks. Kenwilliams 23:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure. What's your email address? Luigi30 (Taλk) 01:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
kenwilliams-1@web.de - actually I've read some sequences (but not all) and I can say: thanks for deleting. The most were lies. Tonight the Main site of the german Wikipedia was vandalized with pictures of her. It seems there's somebody who don't like her or he means that such idiotism is funny. Maybe we can find out who it was with the whole text. Kenwilliams 09:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Article unexplained

[edit] Deletion of Article "E-Murda

At first there were a few problems with the article stated above, but logging on this evening (November 9, 2006) I saw that the page was tagged for speedy deletion, and then altogether deleted. Now, I first saw this article tagged for speedy deletion, and fixed what was wrong with it by showing his notoriety as per Wikipedia's standards. Now then, the article was tagged at 06:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC) by user RobJ1981, and then deleted at 13:45, 9 November 2006 by you. I was given 13 hours, based off your deletion, to fix it. There's a problem though, I have school to attend, and don't come straight home, and even if I did that wouldn't have been enough time to fix it. So I am formally requesting that you reinstate the E-Murda page so that I may fix it, and bring it up to Wikipedia's standards. Sincerely yours, Matt Kodner Kodface 11/9/06 10:09 pm (CST)

[edit] Mike_Young_(LARP)

Mike_Young_(LARP) is up for deletion review. Since you're the protecting admin, could you please comment? User:Sandy freelance was saying the article was referenced and he was notable. (though I'm not sure what xe meant by that.) ColourBurst 15:10, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mike_Young_(LARP)

I am also interested why the page was deleted. While I did not create the page, I did attempt to update it, and remove vandalism. -- Mike Young

You speedied QED International and the article re-appeared. Since I'm not sure that the speedying was justified, I sent it to AfD. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QED International. Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 06:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your user page

I reverted an IP edit on your user page. However, when I looked over it again, I saw that it was a correction of translation. The German text indeed says "give cloning no chance". It's up to you what you want to do with it. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 01:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] deletion of "erin shapero"

Hi Luigi30 - please can you return the page "erin shapero" - it was deleted incorrectly ie it is not election spam -- the page existed long before and was unrelated to any election, it has nothing to do with "election" it is a profile of an politician in office for over 10 years - the article is linked to by many other wikipedia articles and websites. Erin is a huge supporter of wikipedia, directing people to visit many people here, and was upset to see after over a year her profile disappear. It includes biographical and issues-related information. What is your process for determing elected official deletions? If Erin's is to be legitimately deleted, you must also remove: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_mcguinty for the same reason. Many thanks(webmaster on behalf of Erin Shapero) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.112.101.6 (talk) 17:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Duc-Truong Pham

hmmmm... In fact the page had a speedy deletion tag as being a copyright violation :) I don't know what to do to be honest. I let the Afd continue? I put the db tag back on the article, along with the AfD? -- lucasbfr talk 14:10, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

The talk page says he gives permission, and the copyvio thing says without permission, so I don't know what to do. Let it run for now, I guess. Luigi30 (Taλk) 14:11, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
hehe ok. I assume he is really the author but in that case he needs to explicitly release the content under GFDL, if I'm correct -- lucasbfr talk 14:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, saying "I give permission" doesn't make the copyright go poof. Luigi30 (Taλk) 14:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Wooops you are right I no longer can say speedy deletion under copyvio since there is assertion of permission. How could I forget. From time to time I should re read all templates... -- lucasbfr talk 14:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speed deletion of 5ive (American band)

You deleted 5ive (American band). Why did you do that? I'm taking time to contribute to Wikipedia and you delete my work? I'm so angry!! What's that? I marked it with hangon! I even took the time to leave a comment in the talk page! Did you only read it? See talk page

And where is the deleted content now? I don't have a backup of what I wrote. Is my work simple lost?

I don't care if you feel respectable because you have 5 kilometers of banners on your user page. You are just impolite. Jonathan Métillon 15:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Deletion of Hameldon Community College

I believe absolute idiots like you should leave wiki alone, Hameldon Community College is real I attend it and I'm making a wiki for all the new schools in my town Burnley. So I would like you to stop being a nosey moron and leave my wikis alone!

[edit] Why are you deleting everything???

I get one sentence on before I go to see it in a preview and it was deleted! IT IS UNFAIR!!! I am trying to talk about a brilliant fan site! and if that is not allowed then why is there a section about outpost gallifrey???

JUST STOP DELETING!!!!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Swissdoctor (talk • contribs) 18:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Next Generation Data Center

I was in the process of posting an industry term. I had not completed the linking and source articles yet, but it is a term that Tim O'Reilly coined that is fast being picked up as an industry term by journalists, analysts and businesses. There are several conferences, news articles and blogs about this as a term to consolidate industry. Not to mention several companies building products specifically for this type of a business. I had been editing the article for 30 minutes and you deleted it and it was no where near finished. At least mark it for a day so that contributors have a chance to finish it.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Garrysmod.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Garrysmod.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Why deleting Vlada Frey?

Why have you deleted Vlada frey? I saw many people getting in his defense on article discussion page. All you "wikipedians" had in your defense is bunch of dumb rules YOU made up. You people act like you have all the knowledge of the world and if there's someone you actually haven't heard of, then that person is not worthy of your precious wikipedia. So what if Vlada doesn't have a web page? Is the internet only thing deserving merit to you? I have read a lot of magazines and newspaper articles mentioning Vlada. But, hey, they are all Eastern European, you haven't heard of them, right? And, ofcourse, that means they are not worthy. For crying out loud, man, get a little more flexible, will you? I ask for detailed answer, as why are you people so stubborn about your rules, the article didn't stated anything bizarre, sick or offending? P.S. Since the article was in process of debate, and your "rules" state that the page in this process should remain intact for seven days, why has the page been deleted two days earlier?

Your opinion, while valued, is slightly biased due to you being the creator of the article in question. For that reason, I chose to follow WP:SNOW, stating that an overwhelmingly stacked vote can be closed early, and deleted the article. Luigi30 (Taλk) 00:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello! Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vlada Frey is being discussed at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 January 30. Though you might like to know! All the best, Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page deletion

Hi, I think you deleted a page I just made. I found a request for it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_Sciences_and_Philosophy#Modern_Biblical_Allusions Did I do something wrong in creating it, or is it just a bad request? SmilesALot 15:45, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't see anything in my log about deleting a page called Modern Biblical Allusions. However, sometimes page titles are listed there but are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Luigi30 (Taλk) 15:54, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I must have messed up the link. The page was called "None dare call it conspiracy". SmilesALot 16:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
I deleted it because it wasn't notable enough for inclusion. Just because a book is a favorite of a group of people doesn't make it notable across the world. See WP:NOTABLE if you have any questions about the policy. Luigi30 (Taλk) 16:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RfA page deletion

Thank you for your comment on the RfA page that had been listed for speedy deletion. After review, I went ahead and deleted, because the RfA had not yet been put on RfA or received any comments other than the authors.

Hi Luigi30, on 12 September 2006, you deleted the article Chuck Fender, citing the reason "nn band". I don't know the deleted content, but if it was about the Jamaican reggae/dancehall vocalist (not "band"), please be aware that he is definitely notable (he had many hits, one of them stirred up a political controversy in Jamaica last year, he was also interviewed by the BBC about that.).

[edit] Weaver109

Weaver109 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) has repeatedly recreated Scott Baker (author/new world leader) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) and the rest of her/his contribs appear to be nothing but vandalism.

Thanks, Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I rapid-fire deleted about 200 pages and images in 30 minutes, so one or two may have slipped by. I'll get on that user now that there's no more backlog! Luigi30 (Taλk) 14:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Image:Burnitup.jpg

Why was this image (Image:Burnitup.jpg) deleted? I thought that there was strong fair use justification (small image used to illustrate the artist's unique work), plus the copyright owner (Ai Kijima) explicitly granted permission to use the image in Wikipedia. If only images that have been released under the GFDL are permissible, and such use is not considered fair use, then I do not understand how Wikipedia can reasonably expect to show sample artworks by many modern or comtemporary artists. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Klyber (talk • contribs) 16:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

Images released for Wikipedia use only or non-commercial use only are disallowed because they may in the future be included in a commercial product or non-Wikipedia project. Hence they are deleted. Please read the image policy if you have any questions. Luigi30 (Taλk) 16:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Do the fair use tags serve any purpose at all, then? The image copyright policy implies that fair use is a justification for including images in Wikipedia. Klyber 17:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Is it fair use or non-commercial use? You contradicted yourself and said it was both. Luigi30 (Taλk) 17:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand the contradiction. They are independent justifications for including the material on Wikipedia. Pretending for a moment that the artist had not explicitly given permission to use the work on Wikipedia, would this image be allowed as a fair use? Klyber 17:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
As long as there is no for non-commercial use or no derivative works clauses, yes. It just can't be licensed for Wikipedia use only because it may be put on a fork in the future, questioning the status. Luigi30 (Taλk) 17:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
OK, so I should just ignore the fact that the artist gave permission to include the article here, and re-upload it as a fair use only? Seems odd, but I will do that if that is what it takes to keep the image there. In the meantime, I will go back to the artist and see if it is possible to get a fully-fledged GFDL license. Is that a reasonable plan of attack? Klyber 17:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
It's not that there is permission to put it here, it's that there's permission to put it here and here only. Luigi30 (Taλk) 19:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John D. Roth

Hi, I see you deleted this article on Jan 22. An editor recreated the article today. Since you did not provide any summary I don't know the rationale behind your deletion, I just wanted to let you know in case this version also qualifies for deletion. Regards, -- lucasbfr talk 08:30, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pillarman

I feel that some of your comments are inappropriate and should be removed. There also several issues that I feel need to be addressed. Please contact me ASAP

Huh? Can you provide some examples or context please? Luigi30 (Taλk) 18:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Cocoa Puffs

I took the liberty of wiping out the BS chat from that IP from the page history per WP:DENY. Let me know if you continue to have problems with this IP and I will take the appropriate measures.--Isotope23 18:41, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind... I just noticed you are an admin... you can take the appropriate measures yourself.--Isotope23 18:42, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help with that. Luigi30 (Taλk) 18:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
If it gets real bad, you can always report it to the school's netadmin. I've found most schools are pretty cooperative when it comes to their students vandalizing from school equipment.--Isotope23 18:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stub cat you didn't delete :)

Just fyi, I re-nominated this for speedy with justification and explained why on the talk page, Category talk:Mainland China geography stubs. It's a retired category and is being abused by a banned POV warrior. SchmuckyTheCat 23:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Raintime

A band who is going to play on the same venue as bands such as After Forever (check Google hits) cannot be deleted without even sending it to Requests for Deletion. Moreover, notability was asserted in my edit with the inclusion of the fact I just cited. It is, for all intents and purposes, a notable band - again, Google hits. I'm restoring the article. Thank you for your time. --Sn0wflake 03:21, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image deletion

why? - NYC JD (make a motion) 03:32, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted for having an incorrect license. No image uploaded can be licensed for use on Wikipedia only or for non-commercial use only. Luigi30 (Taλk) 03:33, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
But I changed it to {{logo}}? Please revert yourself. I don't want to undelete a second time. - NYC JD (make a motion) 03:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
It was noncommercial when I saw it. If it's {{logo}} I guess it's fine. Luigi30 (Taλk) 03:37, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
You deleted it despite the "edit conflict". I guess the software doesn't protect from that. Thanks. - NYC JD (make a motion) 03:40, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Albion (band)

Please could you explain in what way this article fails to fulfil the Notability (music) criteria? Albion has two members who have each had several top 20 hits, have recorded albums for major labels toured extensively and have also written top 20 hits for other artists. The band has already played at several major venues, and was the headline act at all of them. I also included external links to numerous press reports from established UK newspapers verifying the information. Jud 03:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

From Wikipedia:Notability (music)

Important note: Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. An article that fails to even claim that the subject of the article is notable can be speedily deleted under criterion A7, however. A mere claim of notability, even if contested, may avoid deletion under A7 and require a full Article for Deletion process to determine if the subject of the article is notable

From Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion Non-criteria

Non-notable subjects with their importance asserted: Articles that have obviously non-notable subjects are still not eligible for speedy deletion unless the article "does not assert the importance or significance of its subject". If the article gives a claim that might be construed as making the subject notable, it should be taken to a wider forum.

I initiated a discussion on the original article talk page giving my reasons for claiming notability, with verifiable links to external information sources. The speed with which you deleted the article leads me to question whether you actually read it, or the references, or whether you just looked at the discussion on the talk page, which contained a totally inaccurate statement that all the external links were to Myspace.

I would therefore be most grateful if you would look at this article again, and consider reinstating it, if you still have doubts then tag it for non-notability and possible deletion, so that it can be taken to a wider forum Jud 07:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted 4 times, not just by me. If you think it meets notability requirements, take it to deletion review. Luigi30 (Taλk) 14:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

That is incorrect. If you check the appropriate page log you will see that the original article was deleted once, the second deletion of my re-edit was subsequently reverted by the admin concerned. Please try not to be so hasty in future. Jud 15:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When you aren't sure if something is notable...

Thanks for creating Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samuel Krauss. Often, if you aren't sure about an article, it's best to tag it with {{notability}} rather than taking it to AfD. Other editors may see the tag and improve the article or leave a note on the talk page explaining why the subject is notable. --Eastmain 04:57, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for deletion/Samuel Krauss

Hi Luigi30: You nominated Samuel Krauss for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Samuel Krauss.) However, it would have been nice if you would have informed the original creator of this article that you were doing so. Instead, it was left to User:Selket to do so[4], see User talk:Kendrick7#Better? Kindly note that on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion it advises that: "...'It is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion. Do not notify bot accounts or people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the article and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter. For your convenience, you may use {{subst:AFDWarningNew|Article title}} (for creators who are totally new users), {{subst:AFDWarning|Article title}} (for creators), or {{subst:Adw|Article title}} (for contributors or established users)." Thank you for noting this for future purposes. IZAK 05:43, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tetra Pak

Hi Luigi. FYI... I am restoring Tetra Pak as a stub. I agree that the article looked more as an ad but starting it from scratch again would help. Cheers. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up ® 16:48, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WRA2 Class ‘A’ Water Rocket World Record Rules

You deleted the page WRA2 Class ‘A’ Water Rocket World Record Rules on March 1st. It's been recreated - just thought I'd let you know...- Ozzykhan 01:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC) ==Category:Mainland China building and structure stubs== I am afraid it was not eligible for speedy. The corresponding stub template was modified in a way that stubs were no longer feeding into this category, therefore this category was emptied. There was never any discussion to justify the move to empty this category. Category:Mainland China geography stubs, a similar category, was saved from being speedied and was brought to SFD. It would be better to do likewise with this category. — Instantnood 11:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Mullen

You have deleted a page by mistake. The page John Mullen was not spam. it was about a real person who ha made local changes of note. there are others on this site such as: Cllr mullen Should appear under Valid refrences to the source (http://www.salford.gov.uk) was given. can you please re-check this entry and restore please Generalmartok 14:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Mullen does not meet notability requirements simply by being a councillor. Hazel Blears is an MP, not a councillor. Luigi30 (Taλk) 16:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Waldorf Education

Hi there,

Please can you explain this deletion. I was unaware of this deletion [5], and as the article contained important and relatively developed info I am not sure it should have been. Also it should have been merged into Waldorf Education and redirected to avoid GDFL license issues. I look forward to your comments. Cheers Lethaniol 22:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Please could you reply to this question, as I am currently working on Waldorf Education, and at the very least would like access to the deleted article content so I can merge it into the main article. Cheers Lethaniol 12:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
