Please can you speedy delete the article Aberdeen F.C. achievements, because, although I created the page, I have since discovered that the exact same information is contained in a section of the History of Aberdeen F.C. page. Please could you respond to my userpage, thanks, Dreamweaverjack (talk) 04:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you try to make speedy deletion of the page U.Z.Z. I am its creator. And I want to know why.

-This part is made invalid do to the apology sent by me- U.Z.Z. creator.

Sorry, I'm new. Do you want me to put in stats? Like, I'm not sure the exact number of people killed or anything. I'm not really sure what you'd like. What would you include?Template:Unsigned:Effervescence92

Hi Erechtheus - No problem at all with deleting my article - it didn't meet the encyclopedia criteria! And now that I know about the criteria, I agree with it. Thanks for the note on my user page.

For me, the issues with using wikipedia are that I am so, so busy, and the few times I have time to write I don't also have time to wander through all of wikipedia's rules. For me, the time choice is one or the other - contribute, or learn the rules, which can mean hours and hours of wading through policies which may or may not be relevant. At which point I lose the train of thought about what I wanted to contribute in the first place. Sometimes it's easier to contribute and then let someone who actually knows the current policies (and where to find them) edit.

...and BTW, I have a question - all of the users I've met so far are men? Nice men, but is that just an odd coincidence or are there more men using wikipedia than women?

Pls respond on my user page, as the chance that I'll make it back here is slim.:) - Aunt Amanda

I saw that you claimed that I was adding nonesence to the article. I don't exactly understand what you are referring to. I added valid sources that legitimize the claims that the story has spread. I certainly don't think this constitutes vandalism. [tarzanman21]

Erechtheus... Thank you very much for your support in my request for adminship. Ultimately, no consensus was reached, and I failed to be promoted, but I am very grateful for your support. Erechtheus, thank you for your supporting opinions. Your trust in me to use the tools means a lot, and I hope that I can live up to your standards at some point in the future. Yours, Thε Halo Θ

so yeah....ok if it bothers you that much, then by all means tag it with an unsourced tag....Abstrakt

Please note that Alana Grace's songs on MySpace have been played over 400,000 times. Many people are interested in her music.

With this in mind, I would be grateful if you would remove the notability flag on the Alana Grace article.

Thanks,

Given that more music is being marketed and sold on-line, I would argue that plays on MySpace should be one criterion among several for notability. Perhaps that policy needs updating, especially since artists will soon be selling music directly to the public by way of MySpace. Please see the article on this in the Washington Post. [1]

Please note that Alana Grace has a song on the soundtrack CD for the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" (a movie that grossed $40 M). I would argue that being included on the same CD as established artists such as Chantal Kreviazuk and Natasha Bedingfield is itself a mark of notability - especially when a number of the reviews (e.g., on Amazon) said that the song by Alana Grace was one of the strongest tracks on the CD. Some even said that the CD was worth buying for that track alone. In fact, her song on that soundtrack/CD attracted so much attention that she was invited to sing it live on national television (on the Today show on NBC). That CD has been out for about 18 months and is currently ranked about 7,000 on Amazon - not bad for a CD that has been out that long. The Amazon reviews are at: [2]

As for tours, Alana Grace toured California last summer as the opening act for Ashlee Simpson, which gave her some visibility in that market. However, I wouldn't say that she sounds anything like Ashlee Simpson (much better, much stronger, in my opinion). Listen to her songs on MySpace, and see what you think.

On a point of more general policy, I would argue that the Wikipedia is particularly useful for finding out about new and emerging artists, and it would be good to have some flexibility in evolving, adapting, and applying the criteria of notability. For my part, I am always looking for new music by new artists (e.g., by following the "Listeners Also Bought" leads from one singer to another) - and whenever I do find a new artist, I always start with the Wikipedia article (if it exists) on that singer.

Thanks for making me aware of the notability criteria. I have added my own set of comments to the talk page for these criteria, on "Niche Markets + New and Emerging Artists". Please see: [3]

PS: The comments on that talk page mostly refer to artists outside the USA. Generally, I write about Canadian musicians - but I believe in recognizing quality wherever it is found, which is why I wrote about Alana Grace, an American musician (whom I think will do very well here once her CD comes out in early 2007).

HI I'm just letting you know that I'm acting on behalf of the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project in creating their page for the encyclopedia. The content is copyright to the non-profit organization therefore with prior permission I was able to go ahead and "create" the page as for the image I do not know how to remove/ re-upload it

So what sources are necessary for an album which is a stub. I can't think what information on there could possibly require verification. As you stated, I've searched and found many albums, some with actual information besides a track listing, which don't have references.

Quoting WP:V: "Material that is challenged or likely to be challenged needs a reliable source, which should be cited in the article"

I don't understand how a track listing of an album is likely to be challenged. Are you challenging the validity of this? If not, then WP:V says it doesn't require a source, to my reading.

Can you give another look to that page? I added some references.

Meh i'm less than fussed about how you view me, with a negative shadow or not. But hey, I'm glad that you managed to understand what i wrote, and well done on your efforts to help Wikipedia, I'm sure proud of you.

The "one of theleading women in science" phrase has been removed, though it is a fact. Please remove the notability flag Marcela Carena, or specify what it is aimed at. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pertin (talk • contribs) 22:36, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Postal Orders of Alderney, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Postal Orders of Alderney.

Two sources have already been attached to the article on Route 59 (Metra) that you tagged immediatley after I created it. Can I remove the tag now? ----DanTD (talk) 19:11, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not make personal attacks. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You're correct, I shouldn't have tagged it as an attack page, my fault. I changed it to db-bio because I don't believe that being a former college player and brother of a pro player asserts significance. Beach drifter (talk) 18:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Based on what the article says, it's a real radio show, not a podcast (the article says that "The show is also available from the website as a podcast" (emphasis mine)). Also, please understand that when I say that there was an assertion of importance, I don't mean it should stay; I just mean that it falls short of the standard required for an A7 deletion. It's quite possible that this thing would fail at AFD, and I wouldn't object if it did; it's just that there's enough there to at least warrant discussion.

This article makes some claims of notability. Give this one a little time before tagging it for deletion. Cheers! Mww113 (talk) (Report a mistake!) 00:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for understanding, some might speedily delete it but the author requested some time and it made some claims of notiblity, if it is not changed then I might request it's deletion per Wp:AFD Cheers! Mww113 (talk) (Report a mistake!) 00:46, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete my site? It is a factual contribution. Other recruitment agencies such as Adecco have a page so why cant we. We are one of the fastest growing recruitment agencies in the UK. Please let me know. Kind Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolvespremier (talk • contribs) 00:05, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What are you on about? Are you being serious? Eric Charnov is one of the most important theoretical ecologists, ever!

Please stop adding unnecessary tags. Please explain why he is not notable.

If you give me a chance. I'm doing that.

Why can't I use his own CV as a source? Is he seriously going to lie on his own CV?

No. Please don't be so silly. There is nothing defamatory there. Indeed, he is not going to make defamatory statements about himself is he?

Did you have any particular reasoning why an organization that is the professional society for doctors and scientists of pathology, and has been for the past two centuries, in a current population of twenty million people, would not be notable? Or is this one of those games people play to try to manipulate stub authors into writing content? If you think it would be nice if an article had more content say so in the talk page for the article, don't splatter the article itself with messages spuriously threatening deletion. --❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 18:13, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
