[edit] Linda Kaplan Thaler

Thanks for your answer regarding the page on Linda Kaplan Thaler. I am aware of the "risks" of being "closely associated" with this person, but I made a point of writing a fair and objective description of her life and her personal life, so I think I should be fine on that side... Should I simply recreate the page, and add a line in the "talk" discussion saying that I release the text under the GFDL? Would that be sufficient? I would ask the admin directly, but I cannot find his/her identity on the deletion log or anywhere unfortunately. Thanks for your help!! C.G

[edit] Newark Bears (1926-1949)

The website that the bot claims the article is plagiarized from is itself one of the many sites that ripoff Wikipedia. I simply took a paragraph from the Newark Bears article, moving the info regarding the older team to differentiate the two teams. If you notice on this ripoff page, it says "from Wikipedia."

The graphical nature of the wikipedia credit on that page is likely confusing the bot. I've already removed the speedy delete request. Kuru ^talk 20:49, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] untitled the musical

Hello, you deleted the page created for untitled the musical, however I had previously stated in the talk page that I owned the copyright for the text used. Can you please repost the page as it was? An email from the webmaster for the website was sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Thanks.Jjbalcou (talk) 18:16, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] QQ Games Speedy Deletion

Hello, you nominated the QQ Games article for speedy deletion and then posted

"I withdrew this speedy but intend to propose it for deletion under notability standards if the case for notability isn't made in the article itself. Please see the talk page. – PranksterTurtle (talk) 09:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)"

on my wall. Unfortunately, before I had a chance to discuss the matter on the page's talk page, it was processed and speedily deleted. Please advise me regarding where we go from here on this matter as I believe the page was notable, and would have worked to establish this.

[edit] Not just retrieving the article

I am aware of how to retrieve the article, but I'd also like to hear your reasoning regarding why it does not meet the web notability guidelines. It is mentioned in numerous blogs, some of them with a fairly decent Alexa ranking, it's associated with, and seems to be sponsored by AIM, which is certainly notable in itself, as this would make it a competitor of things like Yahoo Games, MSN Games, etc.
