High Schools

Please don't tag high schools for speedy deletion. It's been long established that high schools are notable. While counter-intuitive, the argument has been successfully made that by allowing high schools, we are training up a whole new generation of editors. Rklawton 16:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

James H Garcia

Two articles with variants on name... Tyrenius 23:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I was wondering why I thought I saw that before. Turlo Lomon 00:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Jonathan Fifii

Hi, the article is a stub as yet and needs alot of work. Fifi'i is a very important historical figure for the Solomon Islands. Just check Google. I will add more to the article when i have time but am very busy at the moment. Paki.tv 04:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, saw your response on my boards but it appears the admins already nuked the article despite your hang on tag. My apologies - after reading your changes, it was already becoming more clear that this was a person of historical significance. Turlo Lomon 04:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
ok no worries - mistakes happen! i'm trying to get a minimal outline on there before i get on with work in hand!!! Paki.tv 04:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Kayla (Orca)

Shouldn't Kayla (whale) be moved to this? We have Keiko (Orca). -WarthogDemon 05:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

In my opinion, the one you moved should be deleted. Whether it is Orca or Whale, I am indifferent to. The original problem was the author didn't have a space. Turlo Lomon 05:51, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Hmm, agreed. I'll remove the hangon tag and do the move once this is deleted. -WarthogDemon 05:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Patrick Schick

Ive noticed ive been put on the quick deletion list and I am wondering why. Ive noticed you have a page and i was wondering why i couldnt? leave a notice back on my page —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dreadstone (talk • contribs) 06:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC).

Sorry about the delay on my response. I typically only visit this while at work. The reason for the flagging was because this is not MySpace. The proper usage would have been as a userpage, not an encylopedia article. It looks like it has already been corrected, so there is nothing to address right now. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Turlo Lomon 23:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Free Fudgie

Hi Turlo. Thanks for your message - I'm sad Fudgie was deleted, but I accept that Wikipedia is not a place for tongue in cheek humor. (Although, to be fair, some of it was indeed true! Carvel is rolling back Fudgie.)

My question is this: is there a way that I can see the formatting for my old Fudgie post, so that I might add it to a more comedic, side-wiki project where it isn't against the rules? I don't see it under my old posts, and so I forget what I wrote.

Also, thanks for your kind words about my writing ability. Dmickley 09:58, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Woot! You got a response from an admin on your talk page. The article was saved! Long live Fudgie! I am in the process of a revamp, but if you want a site to host that article on, just let me know. Turlo Lomon 04:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Turlo! If you're willing, I'd happily take you up on that offer. I'm not particularly knowledgeable (read: hopeless, and possibly even destructive) with any sort of web development. Full disclosure: I actually bought freefudgie.com, I just don't know how to do anything with it. But it's sitting there, happily, for the next two years under my control. If you had any guidance, or any recommendations in general (I also barely understand Wikipedia), I'd love to hear them. P.S. - my brother instilled a pretty good love of D&D, and RPGs in general, in me. I used to play a MUD, and briefly dabbled in WOW - do you still keep the proverbial RPG faith? My email address is mix.mav@gmail.com - looking forward to talking with you. I forget how to sign my name, but it's Dennis.

Orphaned to Hatred

why did you delete the page about orphaned to hatred? they are a band from los angeles, they are real, so why delete? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cesardelgado (talk • contribs)

I did not delete the article. I nominated it for review by the admins for deletion due to lack of notability. A band existing doesn't make it notabile. The article stated that they haven't released their first record yet. This, in my opinion, makes them fail the notability test. Apparently, the admins agreed.

On board

Hello, you recently reverted my redirect of on board to on-board, with an older redirect pointing to Baby On Board. However, the term "on board" is almost unrelated to "Baby On Board". Do you have a good reason for reverting my redirect? (I'm watching your talk so you can respond here) -- intgr 11:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Originally you had a circuliar redirect. I see that you fixed that now. I added the original redirect target as part of the disamiguation page. Turlo Lomon 11:11, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I accidentally replaced my edits with a redirect for two minutes and reverted that edit later; hence the confusion. -- intgr 11:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Deichkind

Hello, you recently deleted the primordial beginnings of the Deichkind article which is a German hip-hop band. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deichkind for more information. Did you even look the band up? jones77. See and listen here: http://www.last.fm/music/Deichkind.

First, I don't have the ability to delete articles. I only posted a request that it be reviewed for deletion. The key point from my note is "it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable". The article should be self sufficient to warrent an encylopedia entry. If the other site (de.wikipedia) had more information, then it should be carried over. If I recall correctly, it consisted of only one linee. The admin who did the deletion (I don't know who) agreed with my nomination and would have performed the deletion. My recommendation is to do a full article translation and repost it. Turlo Lomon 10:44, 6 February 2007 (UTC)


Hell, you have to start somewhere ... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jones77 (talk • contribs) 10:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC).

When November Falls...

Hey, their (or rather his, until i get more info on who's in the band) debut album is slated for release in March 2007, their page wasn't going to be deleted until i made some changes to it, which is rather odd... could you please not delete the page, all it needs is an experienced person (i forget what you call yourselves... Wikipedians???) to fix up the page or someone who knows a lot about the subject. I'm not that good with Wikipedia but i tried to make their page better and what happens? It gets nominated to speedy deletion, yay (/sarcasm), sorry if i'm sounding rude (not intentional), it's just a little annoying that i make an addition and then it gets the page nominated for a deletion... Dave 13:37, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I just nominated it for review. I do not have the authority to delete pages. The problem isn't with the amount of content or the quality of it. It has to do with notability. A band that has not released a single album is notabile... how? Turlo Lomon 14:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Hmm... well i see your point there, but their album is supposed to be coming out in March so, i would like the page to stay seeing as they're not that far away from being 'notable', if it comes to March and they don't have their album out yet, feel free to nominate it again, i won't have a problem with it. Thank you *smiles* --Dave 05:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Tim Saunders

ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lilyfan87 (talk • contribs).

Since I don't have the ability to delete articles, how would you like me to answer it? Turlo Lomon 14:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

By the way

i am fergus anderson, so i don't know what the wikipolicies are on that. but it was only a joke at my own expense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fergor (talk • contribs) 20:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC).

AfD discussion

Please respond to my question posted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Talbott. Thanks. Nondistinguished 19:01, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Dilkusha

Hi, I'm interested in the Dilkusha article ... are you? Victuallers 12:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Ugh. That article needs some cleanup. Not exactly my area of expertise, but I can assist in some copyedit if I can find the time. I'm currently working on a big time project for RPGs right now. Turlo Lomon 12:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Poll

Heya Turlo, I noticed you commenting on Wikipedia:Viewing deleted articles. Do you know where the impetus for the reopening of that poll is coming from? I've asked Captain Zyrain, but as you have commented on the talk page of that poll, figured you might have some sort of an idea. Also, the Captain has done a copy and paste move of the original poll... - Ta bu shi da yu 08:08, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, no clue. This whole policy side of things I only recently got involved with. Turlo Lomon 08:24, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious as to your comment about a Featured Article getting deleted—what was that article? Postdlf 04:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I asked for clarification on this, and there appears to be a slight clarification. It was Technomancer Press, which was classified as a "Good Article". Not sure what the difference is. Turlo Lomon 05:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
