[edit] deathkiller (band)

well, apparently there are plenty of people who are unhappy with your tagging of their pages for deletion. Your observations are way of base (in this case), as the subject or components thereof are referenced elsewhere throughout wikipedia. If you had done a bit more homework, you would have realized this. I am going to redo the page for deathkiller (band). Please do not tag it for speedy deletion. If you have further issues regarding this, please contact me first before excercising what seems to be a gratuitous and widespread display of presumptuousness and careless "editing".

[edit] The Drag

well, i can see from your talk page that you have made yourself the unofficial 'notoriety' monitor. i'm not sure of your criteria, but going by WP's The Drag is a notable place in Austin, TX. It is a cultural icon, while i may not have conveyed that very well other editors may be able to. Please do not mark the page for deletion again. Also, you are supposed to notify the creator of the article, thanks.ron-neg-ron

[edit] HELLO !!!

Hi. Can you please let me know why you are trying to delete my contributions on Total Correlation and Interaction information. Let's communicate, please!

[edit] Once more: Interaction information & Total Correlation

From the talk page:

Response: Dear Nuttah68, a Ph.D. thesis typically contains a long literature review. The contents of these two articles are adapted from the lit review section of my thesis. The relevant sources are all given on the article pages. Why are we having this discussion? What part exactly do you feel is original research? Let me know, and I will try to address it. Otherwise, please un-flag these articles. Thanks much.

[edit] This..

Why did you revert my speedy? Personally I think this redirect is not needed anymore, just have a look into whatlinkshere to see that no pages from main space links there. And people won't want to search for this article, 'cause there is Kristin Nelson one.. -- 83.27.132.154 11:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

It's a valid search term. Internal links should never got to redirects. Redirects are there to guide users to articles when there is more than one possible search term. Nuttah68 12:23, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amy Macdonald

I'd like to know why, around a month ago, you requested an article I started on Amy Macdonald to be 'speedily deleted'. What may not seem notable to you is notable to others. My understanding of the concept of wikipedia is that it is an online encyclopedia where people share information that may be of interest to others, and that is quite clearly what the article was doing. She is an increasingly well-know songwriter, whether or not you've heard of her is really irrelevant. It seems to me a blatant abuse of your authority. The article has been restarted by someone else, anyway. Gonna delete it again? Jimm 89


[edit] Abbeygreen Church

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern: Non notable church
The Abbeygreen Church lies on the site of Lesmahagow Priory and, although not a major church, gives continuity of worship on this historic site and also distinguishes it from Lesmahagow Old Parish Church. I have added the information about the active church to the old priory page with a redirect to retain old references. Expansion of both of those pages would probably have been preferable but my contribution was only to try and clear up some confusion on several previous pages about Lesmahagow and absoulute removal of valid information always seems over reaction to a stub.

[edit] BNSF 7695

Thanks, I deleted it. --Coredesat 18:31, 8 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Prodding

Please stop prodding everything per the wikipedia policy 'dont be a dick'. If this constitutes a personal attack then ban me wikipedia! Its just so infuriating when you come looking for information only to find that someone is attempting to delete it!

May I suggest some more useful wikipedia activities such as the missing articles wikipeida projects where i spend much of my time - its much more rewarding to give than to take away eh Francium12 20:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)e


I wish to apologise for my earlier outburst during a period of wikistress. I think a period of wikibreak will be useful once I have improved the prodded articles. Francium12 00:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry! its just you hadn't replyed for a while so I thaught it meant that the subject had been droped, I didn't really know when I had the right to remove the notice. I can see your trying to improve wikipedia and understand why you saw it as vadalism.--Wiggstar69 21:25, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lee Mellor and the United Steel Workers of Montreal meet multiple criteria for being notable

I noticed you proposed to delete two pages I had created on the grounds that you don't believe they are notable artists. The rules for Wikipedia say that a notable artist is somebody who meets any ONE of the following criteria:

It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries[2] except for the following: Media reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician/ensemble talks about themselves, and advertising for the musician/ensemble. Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report performance dates or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

The United Steel Workers of Montreal have had articles written on them in The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, NOW Magazine, The Montreal Mirror and the Toronto Sun. They link to the articles on their website www.uswm.ca.

Lee Mellor has had articles or album reviews in the Montreal Gazette, The Montreal Mirror and the Suburban... the three most important English newspapers in the city. Two of these articles are listed on Mellor's website www.leemellor.com and the review in the Montreal Mirror is available at www.montrealmirror.com. He has also been the subject of articles in Durham this Week and the Oshawa Times - newsdurhamregion.com/news/article/84861.

Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources.[3]

Both Mellor and the Steel Workers have toured Canada on multiple occasions. Their own websites attest to this.

Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.

The Steel Workers are the most prominent representative of Citygrass, which should be evident by reading the articles about them.

Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.

Both USWM and Mellor are on national rotation for CBC radio. Google it. CBC Radio is the Canadian equivalent of the BBC. Basically this means that the most important broadcasting entity in the country is playing their music.

Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network.

Mellor has conducted a half hour long interview with CBC radio which can be heard on www.myspace.com/leemellor and the United Steel Workers of Montreal have actually made a live recording for the Canadian Music Cafe radio show: http://www.canadianmusiccafe.com/2007/schedule.asp

As these musical acts qualify for multiple categories of being "notable" according to Wikipedia's own rules they should not be deleted.

That said, I agree with your proposed deletion of the Citygrass article as I can find no definitions beyound "urban hillbilly" in newspapers or magazines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Redbeardedbadger (talk • contribs) 00:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non notable halls of residence

As the original author of the Montague Burton Residences article, I was wondering what constitutes a notable halls of residence and what doesn't. This is not entirely obvious based on which University of Leeds halls have been issued with a deletion warning and which haven't (for example, the halls that are at once both the largest and those furthest away from campus (Bodington Hall) have been proposed for deletion). I can't find anything on the discussion pages about this action, either.

This is not to say I insist on the Montague Burton the article being kept, far from it; I accept that the notability might be arguable. However, if a consistent policy could be agreed upon, it would be easier to rewrite the main University of Leeds article to include better information on accommodation without going into too much detail. However, if the rather detailed Clarence Dock article is kept as a separate article as proposed, where is the line to be drawn between what goes in the main article and what doesn't? --Iwouldstay 01:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] sorry just making a point

it is just egghead08 believes that wayne rooney and michael owen needn't be mentioned on the page because it is not an newspaper. i believe that they shouold be mentioned because they are englands first choice strikers and if and team members are mentioned then they should.

[edit] notifying authors

When you PROD an article please remember that it is polite to notify the principal author(s)-- there is a semi-automatic method from the notification box on the article. Agreed there should be a bot to do it, but there isn't. DGG (talk) 04:26, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speedies

I notice that a number of your speedy delete tags have been removed by various other admins. Perhaps you should double-check WP:CSD for the criteria, remembering that they are applied narrowly. But most of them seem to be fine, so keep up the good work! DGG (talk) 04:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD suggestions question

Hello. Your contributions indicate a match to a need I have: someone who specializes in merited article deletions. In cleanup runs through Wikipedia, I occasionally encounter clear but controversial or otherwise non-prod candidates for deletion. While I have nominated and debated articles at AfD, my available WP time is maxed out. I feel my meager talents are better employed elsewhere, particularly as a single AfD entry can eat up a great deal of time if it is challenged. You, however, have a strong record of discerning deletion-worthy articles and successfully bringing them through the AfD process, when necessary.

It is also clear that you endure abuse relating to deletions with aplomb. My heartfelt congratulations, when exposed to much less criticism many an editor's restraint has crumbled into bitter fights, intense whining or retiring from Wikipedia.

Would you be adverse to receiving suggestions of anywhere from zero to four or so AfD candidates a week? Naturally, you could choose not to list any suggested candidate you felt was not appropriate for AfD. While I appreciate that this might seem like a way to off-load my dirty work, it has become clear to me that WP operates more efficiently when editors play to their strengths. You have strong experience in AfD deletes, I have much less and little allocatable time to gain more. If you do not wish to accept any suggestions from me, it is not a problem. I simply wanted to ask. Thanks, regardless. -- Michael Devore (talk) 17:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Still If your goodself have any doubt or stay un convinced. Kindly spare time and read my discussion page.

I once again sincerly regards and empathy to all of your concerned doubts.Howsoever I want to satisfy/convince all of you , once for all. -truly- Alan Sun- --Dralansun (talk) 18:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed prod from 7th Altrincham Boys Brigade

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from 7th Altrincham Boys Brigade, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atamachat 20:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding E-World & Iteva

Regarding the page E-World, which you tagged for speedy deletion on the basis of that it was an article about real person that does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject, I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This page does not qualify for speedy deletion because this only applies to the persons themselves, not on their software, albums, etc.. If you still want the page to be deleted, please use the WP:AFD process. Thanks! Admc2006 (talk) 17:22, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletions - more care

Hi Nuttah. Please take more care when applying speedy tags. This edit is clearly inappropriate as the article is not a biography. The article may be of dubious notability but that is what PROD and AfD are for. -- Mattinbgn\talk 00:02, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Ring road (Hastings)

Hi Nuttah, I noticed the prod you placed on The Ring road (Hastings) was removed on 29 February 2008, but that the problem was not resolved. I propose we take this to AFD, because as you said there is no evidence that this road exists, and even if this is a local term it fails the notability guidelines. Any useful information is already covered in A2100, A28, A259 and A21 anyway. What do you think? Think outside the box 14:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and I have taken it to AfD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Ring road (Hastings) MortimerCat (talk) 23:03, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] prod on SNUPY Awards

Hello, I thought I might bring your attention to this. --W2bh (talk) 13:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] incorrect speedy

I removed your speedy on The Johns (Chicago band), since it asserted notability--and had a reference to a full article on them from the Chicago Tribune to support it. DGG (talk) 14:33, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] incorrect speedy

I understand some of my other edits but Bigtopp will be on ITV and have supported Sonic Boom Six and Reel Big Fish - they are quite important, particularly in the local area (Devon - Reading - London triangle) and have gigs at Reading etc. which I haven't added as I can't find web citations. Sorry, thanks again! Harriellie (talk) 18:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Silverton Goatman

Hi. I've listed the article, which you previously placed a PROD on, for AfD. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Silverton Goatman. Also, please consider notifying the user when you list an article for PROD. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 22:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
