  • Comment Because? You need to provide a rationale as to why you believe that the deletion was improperly done. Seraphimblade Talk to me 21:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Overturn and list The article was deleted under WP:CSD#G11 as spam. I think that is a very borderline call. A couple links ought to go, but the article as a whole does not require rewriting. I also believe notability is adequately demonstrated by these three links that were in the article (references 1-2 of 5 and external link 4 of 4) at the time of deletion. (I agree that the nomination here is not helpful.) GRBerry 21:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't believe that the article had been read. This was not profane, self promoting, or otherwise. The article is modeled after very valid predecessors. Care.com is a Web 2.0 service related to issues which are poorly covered in Wikipedia, specifically child care and elder care. I contest that the editors are experts in the area for which Care.com was deleted so readily. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rjongm (talkcontribs). I note that this users undeleted contributions all relate to Matrix Partners, the VC firm backing/partly owning this company. GRBerry 21:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of miniature and terrain manufacturers

List of miniature and terrain manufacturers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Article was deleted on May 5 with "content was: '[db-spam template] List of miniature and terrain manufacturers is an index of commercial companies that publish Miniature figure..." and again on May 13 for an expired prod, and has been proded again as of May 20. Given all the re-creating of the article I believe it would be good to at least have a recorded discussion of the reasons for the delete (I believe it has been created by a different user each time). And, I feel that the original deletion was in error. The article was a split-off of the Miniature wargaming page, as I recall the actual off-site links were removed, and it is akin to such pages as List of PLC manufacturers or List of scooter manufacturers. Rindis 20:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I followed the directions, what'd I break? --Rindis 20:13, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You had mismatched [[ characters. I added two GRBerry 20:18, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Figured it was something like that. :( --Rindis 20:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article has been speedy deleted once, and PROD deleted once. Since the page has been recreated and we have this request here, I've restored those versions deleted via PROD. There remains an open question on the speedy deleted versions should be restored. I reserve the right to form an opinion on that subject. GRBerry 20:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Seeing as I'm the person who first created the page, thought I should chime in. I believe that I was acting in accordance with Wikipedia policy. Namely, I created a list using material that was originally in the Miniature wargaming article, so it's a list that relates to a notable subject. (You can check the history of "Miniature wargaming" and compare an old version with the (original) deleted list under question.) As far as I recall, I did delete any external links to other websites leaving only wikilinks (some blue and lots of red ones). Also, there seemed to be some consensus reached on the talk page there that this was an appropriate action to do. When the first page was deleted, I knew less about policy than I do now, so didn't really know how to properly disagree with the deletion request/proposal. Craw-daddy 20:57, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James Eugene Ewing

James Eugene Ewing (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

The article on James Eugene Ewing, founder of a controversial mail-order "religious" organization called St. Matthew's Churches, was suddenly deleted by Doc glasgow without any prior notice, including any mention of it on the article's talk page. I know Wikipedia has been very sensitive about articles of living persons lately, and WP:BLP was this admin's reason for deleting the article. This deletion was too hastily done, as I contend that the information in the article was based on verifiable reports. The links were to published newspaper articles, including information from the Better Business Bureau. Rather than suddenly deleting the article outright, I would rather ask that it either be renamed to St. Matthew's Churches so as to avoid the use of the name of the person in question; or put up for deletion as with any Wikipedia article.

Because the article was deleted with no prior process, I ask that it be restored temporarily, at least for the purpose of this discussion, so that users can see it and make up their minds. --Modemac 20:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • We should have an article on this guy... seems to meet WP:BIO [1], [2]. Can someone write a short, verifiable stub here? --W.marsh 20:25, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems to be pretty much a slam dunk that he meets WP:BIO and that we should have an article on him. However, given the nature of his activities, we need to be very careful to to word things neutrally and cite extremely well. In line citations are going to be needed here. I think the best path is to endorse deletion and encourage creation of a new article, but reasonable people could disagree with endorsing deletion, as the article has been sourced (in an old style) since its inception. GRBerry 20:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Undelete, stub, rewrite, endorse recreation. Doc's been good about being up-front about deletions like this, did you talk to him at all? Otherwise, yes, he meets standards, so roll it back to a neutral version and start over. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jeff, can you suggest a specific version that you think meets standards? Because of the old style of sourcing, I wasn't able to quickly pick one that I was confident meets standards. There might be one, but I wasn't certain. (History is currently available under the usual template.) GRBerry 20:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have created an article at St. Matthew's Churches which is totally verifiable (every paragraph referenced to the source). It might be a better idea to redirect this guy's article to the church article anyway, since not much seems to be known about him. --W.marsh 20:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of radio stations

List of radio stations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

This page should be restored and renamed Lists of radio stations. This is quite similar to lists such as Lists of people and Lists of television channels which have wide consensus for their existence, and with a renaming and some rewording of the opening paragraph this list would fulfill the criteria of WP:LIST as a navigation list. DHowell 20:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse deletion Closure is within reasonable administrative discretion for that debate. See WP:INN for a long winded explanation of why the presence of other, supposedly similar, articles is not signigicant. No process failures in AFD, no policy based reason to overturn given here. GRBerry 20:49, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advanced Distributed Learning

Advanced Distributed Learning (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

This article was about a Department of Defense Sponsored Initiative to evolve the distributed online training arena. The ADL is funded by the DoD but works with many international organizations and the commercial world. The ADL is the DoD entity responsible for developing and managing the Sharable Content Object Reference Model (SCORM). The deletion comments stated that the article violated copyrights. All of the content in this article was taken from publicly available information both on the ADL initiative Web site at https://www.adlnet.gov and from publications of the ADL. The copyright statement on the ADL Web site clearly grants permission to reuse information published by the ADL for informational purposes. A quick survey of other such DoD projects yielded many other articles of this type within Wikipedia. This article provided potentially valuable information to those interested in the work of the ADL. Jjmarks01 19:23, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse deletion, while the site in question's copyright policy [3] does state that material may be copied, it requires that any copied material display the following notice: "Copyright ©20xx Advanced Distributed Learning. All rights reserved." Since we do not allow all-rights-reserved material, nor do we allow copyright notices, the site's license is incompatible with ours. (Of course, that site may still be useful as a reference, for article material written in your own words.) Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Garron

Taylor Garron (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

In the previous AfD, there ended up being two in favor of keeping the article and two in favor of deletion. However, one of the two for keeping the article was a clear single-purpose account (see contribs), and the other person for keeping the article did not give any rationale of his own, only writing "Convinced by SaguarosRule." For my specific arguments for deletion, see the AfD. -- Cielomobile talk / contribs 17:29, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse closure This was within reasonable administrative discretion. No consensus doesn't mean much; feel free to list for AFD again in a couple months if no further sourcing is found. I can envision arguments (that weren't actually made), that I would think merit a delete outcome. However, the AFD needs to be judged on the arguments actually made, so those arguments aren't relevant now. For future discussions, point out what research was done to find other sources. GRBerry 17:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse closure. No real consensus either way on this but it was closd well within reasonable expectations. As stated above, feel free to relist this after a reasonable amount of time has gone by without any improvement to the article, but there was certainly no fault in the process or grounds to overturn the closure. Arkyan &#149; (talk) 18:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse With only those !votes after a full 5 days, either continuing the AfD or "no consensus" seems reasonable. DGG 18:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse closure but encourage relisting, I don't think the closure was wrong or outside of reasonable discretion, but I do believe that further discussion of the matter could produce a better idea of consensus. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:10, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NWA Championship Wrestling from Virginia

NWA Championship Wrestling from Virginia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Notability - being a part of the National Wrestling Alliance is clearly notable. We have a offical website and have been noted on several websites including the NWA Official Home page, Pro Wrestling Between the Sheet, [4], [5], Wrestling Observer and a host of Wrestling Websites.JeffCapo 13:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Endorse. Per process: valid AfD, no new evidence. Per policy: no, being part of something notable does not in turn confer notability, and the lack of independent reliable sources has not been addressed. Guy (Help!) 14:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As closer, I'll acknowledge I was pushing the boundaries of admin discretion here given the headcount. But the delete arguments were clear and based in core policies, while the keep arguments asserted notability but failed to address the lack of sourcing. I will understand if this is overturned, but I think my decision was right. Trebor 14:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse deletion as above, keep side failed to show verifiability by finding some reliable sources. --Sam Blanning(talk) 14:52, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse. The primary concern raised by the AfD was verifiability. There is nothing in any of the keep arguments suggesting that it is possible for the article subject to satisfy this core Wikipedia content policy. --Allen3 talk 14:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Endorse Procedurelly, a relist wouldn't hurt, but given the arguments presented in the AfD delete looks like clearly the right option so it isn't necessary baring presentation of reliable sources. Eluchil404 16:40, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse guideline correctly stated, that having an article on the main organization does not imply having articles on the state branches.DGG 18:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, per the administrators' deletion guidelines. These clearly state that verifiability, no original research, and neutrality cannot be overridden, even by consensus, and the verifiability policy pretty clearly states that "If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." This topic apparently has no reliable, third-party sources, so Trebor correctly saw that we should not have an article on it. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:19, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If someone could give me what is considered a reliable source for pro wrestling, I did mention and link a couple in my opening statement, I would gladly add those. Thanks. JeffCapo 19:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment You may want to have a look at the reliable source guidelines. In particular, such sources should be reputable, have a process of editorial control and fact-checking, and should cover the subject in detail. The two sites you list seem to be directory-type sites who list pretty well anyone, and I don't see that either one has a significant process of editorial control, and are effectively fansites. Also, you just link to the front pages of those sites, on which I don't see any coverage of the subject in question. If you can show that sources are available which do meet these criteria (or that some of the ones you list do, and are more than fansites), and link directly to in-depth coverage by such sources, you may well find that people will change their mind, but right now I just don't see it.

User:MadMax/PWI Years

User:MadMax/PWI Years (edit | [[Talk:User:MadMax/PWI Years|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Several months ago I began working on a list based on the PWI 500, a listing of the top 500 professional wrestlers in North America as well as Japan and parts of Europe published by Pro Wrestling Illustrated. However, while it was originally intended for the Pro Wrestling Illustrated article, I moved them to my user space when informed they may constitute a copyright violation. I then converted the lists to served as a missing topics list for use by WikiProject Professional wrestling and I and other users worked extensivly to correct disambiguation links, double redirects, etc. While I was questioned a week ago by User:RobJ1981 in regards to its possible nomination for Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion, however from his last responce I assumed he had dropped the matter. However, today I found through my user page all the subpages had been deleted and I had neither been informed of its nomination or that they had been deleted. As I've previously stated, I have several missing topics lists ranging from military history to true crime based on books and magazines and as I've kept these lists on my user page as a reference, I don't understand how I've violated WP:USERPAGE. MadMax 03:22, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, the following pages were also deleted:


These were tagged as copyright violations, just copies of published lists, and I deleted them as such. Userspace shouldn't matter here, copyvios are to be deleted regardless of namespace. Perhaps non-speedy copyvio deletion was more called for, here... but ultimately a copyvio is a copyvio. If people don't think these were, I will undelete. --W.marsh 03:27, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I would respectfully point out, had I been informed there was an issue, I could have at least had the oppertunity to try and save my work. The lists were clearly identified as missing topics lists and, while I am aware of WP:USEFUL, they were extremely helpful in looking up PWI rankings though "what links here" feature instead of looking through all 17 issues for one individual and, as these lists were used for legitimate purposes relating to Wikipedia articles, I believe this would have merited at least discussing this issue (for example, would a similar unnumbered and rearrainged list containing the same list wrestlers be acceptable ?). If a copyright issue is taken with this specific list, am I to assume this applies to all the missing topics lists I've created ? MadMax 04:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. As I explained above, that discussion was based on incorporating the lists as an article into into the PWI 500 section of the main Pro Wrestling Illustrated article, not the actual lists themselves (and the issue was never brought up as a copyright issue when moved to my user page as a missing topics list). As later seen in a later discussion no objections were raised by project members of copyright issues and I was in fact encouraged in the discussion to fix the various errors and mispellings in those lists. I would also point out, in regards to a recent MFD nomination, the articles I've previously moved to my user space were found to be legitimately used on user page despite the opinion I had purposely moved them to avoid prop/afd discussions. If I've misunderstood One Night In Hackney's comments, I apologise however I would like to clarify that I moved these lists because they may be considered copyright issues as articles themselves not simply as lists and did not purposly move them to my user page to avoid their deletion. MadMax 05:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sorry, attempting to divert the discussion in another direction will not change the fact that the lists were copyright violations, and that you had been told they were copyright violations, and I will not indulge you any further. One Night In Hackney303 05:31, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. My intention was not to divert the discussion, however in my view, your previous comments suggest that I knew the lists themselves consituted a copyright violaton and that I purposly moved the list to avoid its deletion. A similar complaint was raised in a recent MFD nomination concerning my other user pages. In said discussion, the participating editors believed I had acted in good faith and disagreed with the concern that I had been in anyway dishonest or deceitful. Your above comments, and I again apologise if I've misinterpreted them, imply differently. From the discussion you pointed out, I was told they may have been copyright issues when I had originally created them as part of the main Pro Wrestling Illustrated article not when I moved them to my user page. Whether or not the lists are by themselves copyright violations, they were being legitimatly used as missing topics lists for professional wrestling related articles and served a number of useful purposes. I'm not arguing to restore them in their former form and, in fact, I would be more then willing to discuss an alternative so that they would not be a copyright issue. MadMax 05:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse deletion, copyvios are not permitted anywhere, including in userspace. I also find the "not notified" argument rather weak when the content was moved to userspace upon being notified that they violate copyright. In addition to this, notification of a deletion nomination is a courtesy, not a mandate, while the copyright policies are non-negotiable requirements. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:24, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Band is clearly notable. They have released an LP (Act II: The Meaning of and all things regarding Ms. Leading) and EP (Act I: The Lake South, the River North)on a major indie label, Triple Crown Records. It contains former Receiving End of Sirens member Casey Crescenzo; TREOS is considered a notable band. They were listed in Alternative Press's 100 bands you need to know in 2007; they have been given superb reviews by AbsoultePunk.net, one of the most reputable indie rock websites on the internet. They have toured with Saves the Day, As Tall as Lions, and Say anything, all notable bands.

  • Endorse deletion per second AFD. No new information. You need to prove those claims with reliable sources. --Coredesat 03:01, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse deletion, no significant new information. --Sam Blanning(talk) 03:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The record label that houses both this band and the band with the supposed famous member that is required per WP:MUSIC#6 is part of the East West family of record labels, a subsidiary of Warner Music Group (WP:MUSIC#5). Alternative Press is a notable music magazine, so there's clearly reliable sources. The information may not be new, but it was mostly ignored by the people who built the concensus. Reasons ranged from "I haven't heard of them" to "I don't believe they're notable" when the guideline says otherwise. The comment of the closing admin is particularly telling. They said "your arguments were in the right direction but since they failed to convince anyone in the community, I have to interpret consensus here as for deletion". I will endorse undeletion until those points or properly addressed. - Mgm|(talk) 07:43, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where are the non-trivial independent sources from which this article is supposed to be drawn? Guy (Help!) 14:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - You do know that this article has actually existed for months (2 days after the last DRV failed) at The Dear Hunter (band) and it is has been prominently linked from The Deer Hunter for weeks. I would have brought it over to AFD, but couldn't be fucked. - hahnchen 18:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Endorse, lawyering over notability sub-guidelines aside, all article subjects require significant independent sourcing. I don't find any indication that such sourcing exists. Willing to consider changing my mind if directed to such sources, and such sources do indeed provide in-depth information on the subject, but I haven't seen that happen thus far.

They do have a biography at All Music Guide as mentioned above. - hahnchen 19:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So do lots of bands that don't meet our notabilty criteria. AMG basically covers everyone who has ever had a mainstream US distributor, and occasionally a few others. We're not AMG, and we don't need or want to list every band they do. Xtifr tälk 20:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just that, it's that AMG have actually reviewed their album. Not just giving it a star rating, but actually wrote a review. And whereas AMG do cover a lot of bands that don't meet our notability criteria, for those bands, they don't actually write a biography and instead just list their albums. This is not just a trivial AMG blank page. - hahnchen 20:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unfortunate endorse, because there still aren't sources being presented concretely. They must exist, though, because this isn't some little known band in the grand scheme of things. --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:44, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
