Deleted article - Inspection 12

Hey, I thought it was pretty weird that a band this noteworthy would be deleted. Maybe I'm not reading it right, but it looks like it was because noone was around to back the article up with any claims of notability. Looking at the notability criteria for musicians and ensembles,

1. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." http://www.vh1.com/artists/az/inspection_12/artist.jhtml http://www.allmusic.com/artist/inspection-12-p480906

5. "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)." One release on Fat Wreck Chords subsidiary Honest Don's, and one on Suburban Home Records & Takeover.

6. "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles." Only one of the bandmembers, Peter Mosely is noteworthy enough to have his own article, but whereas that doesn't qualify, the two previous ones should be well enough.

Now I don't know how the deleted article looked, maybe it's badly composed flat-out promotion for the band, in which case I'll gladly help condense it into something helpful and informative instead. Anyway, I hope this helps and that I wrote you in the correct place. If not then I apologize, I'm only starting to learn how to be useful to wikipedia. User:Kaysow 18:02, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Restored as a contested WP:PROD. The article needs help if it is going to last very long without an WP:AFD. Courcelles 19:31, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Live885.jpg

Just so you know, File:Live885.jpg is orphaned because an updated version of the image was subsequently uploaded. So yeah, go ahead and delete it; I'm not particularly attached to it :-) Bearcat (talk) 20:53, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Winter Olympics medallists

Hi, I've finished the prose for List of 1964 Winter Olympics medal winners and added a couple of images to the article. I saw you also took a look at List of 1960 Winter Olympics medal winners - I hope all's good with that one. Arctic Night 22:54, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Move Request

Hi, could you move WRVA-AM back to WRVA (AM), please? This was moved yesterday and it is an incorrect callsign as the FCC does not use "-AM" in their callsigns. I requested it on WP:RM, but screwed it up (cause I was working on 3 things at once and not feeling well), hence my asking you. Thanks...Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:48, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Probably need to go through a full WP:RM discussion at this point, since someone just moved it today, it's not going to be controversy free to move it back. Courcelles 04:51, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Bummer. :( I requested again. Feel free it act on it and the others in queue, if you have time. Thanks for taking a look. Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 05:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting redirects.

Thank you for deleting the redirects I left when I moved Kamen Tantei into article space. – Allen4names 00:11, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Close?

Can you close a stupid nomination of an FL from a user with less then 50 edits, it think its pure disruption. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kesha discography - (CK)Lakeshade - talk2me - 00:44, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

the only possible way I could close it down would to say it wasn't a deletion nomination, rather a merger one, but even that's not crystal clear, and there's no harm in letting it run and see what happens. Odds are good it SNOWs, though. Courcelles 01:34, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

CFD category moves

Can you set up the cats with the same heading template system used in the Category:2011 television episodes and simlar categories.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:43, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

Can admins do Cat moves or do you have to create new cats? It seems you should just move YYYY-YY+1 to new cat YY+1 and save the creation history.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I have no idea... I'm doing all these by hand. You're welcome to go through and add them if you find them necessary; noone except a developer can move cats, we have to delete and then create new ones. Courcelles 05:47, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I have added the template and piped one of the parent categories. When I get a chance I will {{DEFAULTSORT}} many of the pages that you did not pipe.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:46, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

I have started adding the {{DEFAULTSORT}} template to the articles in the new cats of Category:Television_programs_by_season. How are things coming from your end?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

All taken care of. Courcelles 21:13, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Page Deletion

Hello. Please tell me... Who said you could delete my page? I was ready to delete all my sandboxes! I will do it. Okay? Please, if you have problems with me or my sandboxes, don't just do, ask. My sandboxes that are unnecessary are going to be deleted by me or with my permission. Thank you.--Ryder 04:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC) talk

They were all broken redirects, these are always deleted per CSD criteria G8, no matter where they occur. Courcelles 07:13, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

John Wark

Hi. I thought (Wikipedia:Perennial_proposals#Protecting_Today.27s_Featured_Article_on_the_main_page) we don't protect TFA? --Dweller (talk) 10:46, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

No, WP:NOPRO was demoted to an essay several months ago as outdated. We now protect TFAs as if they were any other article in the encyclopaedia. Courcelles 10:48, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Gosh. Can't believe I missed that debate. Looks like the Main Page FAQ needs updating, as well as PEREN - I'll do it. Thanks. --Dweller (talk) 11:01, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Request to semiprotect page Succubus again

The page Succubus was under semiprotection by you. That protect expired and the vandals are at it again. Could you please reinstate that protection? Many thanks TeraSuccubi (talk) 16:52, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Louis Schanker page and image permission

Hi,

You put a comment re: the permissions for image Louis Schanker, Abstraction with musical instrument. I believed that I cleared up the problems earlier this week. Please let me know if there is something else which we have to do. I am obviously very new at this ... sorry. (We maintain www.louisschanker.info Thanks for your assistance

For us to keep a non-free image around, we need a ratioale, and it has to be used in at least one article. Courcelles 17:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Hey, would you mind awfully if I took The Hours to FLC before Slumdog? I'm working on the prose now and think I'll be able to nominate it tomorrow afternoon. - JuneGloom Talk 23:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Gee, I go away for a while to get some cereal and watch Pretty Little Liars and I come back and see that you've managed to find and correct all of my mistakes in The Hours list. Thanks. :) I guess I should go and finish the prose. - JuneGloom Talk 16:51, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Oh, I already have the table and the pic. I just hadn't added them yet because I wanted to get the prose done first. - JuneGloom Talk 17:00, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

No worries, I have a FLC running right now that has so far been "ignored". Courcelles 00:20, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I did check your list out (I removed a stray bracket from an image) and I'll see if I can leave some comments a bit later. You have mail from me. I apologise in advance for rambling. - JuneGloom Talk 16:25, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Protection at Emily Dickinson

Hi Courcelles, may I ask a favor? Apparently a new user believes I'm personally behind the most recent protection of Emily Dickinson's article. Although I've tried to explain the process to them, I've washed my hands of it -- see Talk:Emily Dickinson#ED and "sexuality" section? and sections following for the straws that broke the editor's back. I would appreciate it if you could patiently explain your reasons behind protecting the article (as I know you've done before), so that I'm not further deemed some sort of tyrant or whatever they assume I am. (Honestly, though, I'm fairly sure it will have to be protected again in a few days anyway. :p) María (habla conmigo) 19:04, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

No problem, Maria, though the protection was actually nothing to do with that user and was due to schoolchildren thinking puerile jokes on her name were funny. For some reason, I'm somewhat loathe to throw an indef semi-protection on this article, even though this winter has been rather bad on receiving vandalism. Courcelles 21:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I'd seen you protecting the article on and off over the past few months, so I knew you'd obviously do a better job explaining than I -- it totally didn't occur to me that I should mention the fact that non-admins can't protect articles. Durr. Looking at Category:Wikipedia indefinitely semi-protected pages, I think Dickinson is slightly more tempting to vandalize than Battle of Bunker Hill, but perhaps less-so than Hentai. :) Seriously though, I guess the precedent for indef semi-protection would be someone like Edgar Allan Poe, who homework-ridden schoolchildren also hate, apparently? María (habla conmigo) 21:35, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you can tell who the schoolchildren are being forced to read this week by finding which literary figure is receiving tons of vandalism. I have a suspicion that Dickinson will end up in that category eventually, but I wish it weren't that way, I've been trying to manage waves with short protections, for what it is worth. Speaking of non-admins... why on Earth are you in that category? Courcelles 22:02, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I can't think of a better category to be in! Honestly, there's nothing I need or want to do that requires admin work; except for the occasional acrobatic page-move, deleting image goof-ups, and of course protecting articles from naughty kids, I'm pretty self-sufficient. Plus, I'm not active enough, even as a content editor these days, to make it through the hoops and such to come out an admin on the other side. :) María (habla conmigo) 23:06, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

I suppose then you're just as well knowing whose ear to et in when you need something, without the hassle of having random problems dropped in your lap :) Courcelles 00:23, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
