CHINICT

Hello, could you please give some explanations regarding the reason(s) why you decided to delete the article I originally wrote regarding the CHINICT conference? I have taken the time to diligently address each alleged issue regarding the article - and I am surprised of your decision to just remove it without any explanation. In advance, thank you for your feedback. All the best, Franckn55 (talk) 08:15, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Basically the reasons as cited by the editors at the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CHINICT page due to lack of notability of the subject and also in some areas it looked like an advertisement. Seems it was a good consensus even though I would have hope for more discussion, but no other people seem to be trying to save the page from deletion in that discussion. --JForget 01:09, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Speed

Hi JForget, I notice you're closing AFDs at a pretty rapid pace with some sort of script and I'm a little concerned about whether or not you're taking the time to read the discussions carefully. --JayHenry (talk) 00:18, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry, I do check the discussions, if there is no clear consensus or sometimes when there are recent discussions, I leave it open. But the near totality are obvious outcomes. Why it is faster, is that I have buttons that automatically closes rather then manually--JForget 00:21, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

I mention because in this AFD, an editor indicates using bold text that he moved the article from its original location to a new location. This 1) partially addresses the reasons to delete and 2) means that you deleted a redirect, and not the actual article. I was surprised at this, since the move was indicated very prominently in bold, but then saw you had closed 8 AFDs in just 6 minutes, which made me wonder about the speed. --JayHenry (talk) 00:26, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

It has being deleted as well. Thanks for that one though. JForget 00:29, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Forget,

I know you were involved in a previous discussion on this topic and thought you might be interested in participating here.

Happy editing,

Why was this deleted?

I believe you made a mistake in delting my page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_NFL_schedule_and_odds There seems to be no violation of terms, so please inform me why this was deleted. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whitecronik (talk • contribs)

AFD

Nice close on the A Tree Full of Secrets AFD. Most admins would have relisted it. Joe Chill (talk) 00:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Well seeing there wasn't a heck of a lot of difference/improvements from the versions that were deleted in July 2008 and in June 2007 (the latter which was deleted per AFD), a G4 could have being applied here. Also, it would give him immediately some chance to make the fixes so it might have a chance for a restore later on. --JForget 00:17, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

My comment wasn't sarcastic. Joe Chill (talk) 00:21, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I know, I just wanted to add this point. Anyways thanks for the comment. --JForget 01:01, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darren Bartsch

Hi there, I am disappointed that you closed the above AFD as a blanket delete, when I was the only editor to not just parrot the "did not meet WP:ATHLETE" line, which I agree that each player didn't meet that guideline, but no-one disagreed with my assertion that two of them, Veale and Bartsch, were notable under the general notability guideline (in that they were the subject of reliable, independent third party sources in regards to there specific drafting/trading circumstances). I am not sure (and cannot check) whether or not all of the references that I found, cleaned-up or added were there when the other editors voted at the AFD, but like always with bulk nominations, you can't be sure if they all read each and every article. So, I am asking you, did you consider the general notability of Veale and Bartsch separately to the others, or do you also subscribe to the "WP:ATHLETE" overrides all else argument? I think the Veale article at least should be recreated as The Veale Deal, as it is a notable event in AFL drafting history (at least 3 or 4 references, including one that indicates that the rules were changed because of it.) I would like you to userfy the Lochlan Veale article for me, so that I can ensure that the information isn't lost, but I'll wait for your reply and any other discussions as to where it best fits. Cheers The-Pope (talk) 05:45, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prevx

By the time I had looked at the article and done some initial research, the AfD was closed as keep by a non-admin citing WP:IAR. The PC mag review may be strong enough to keep the article, but that's not the way the AfD discussion looks now. Flowanda | Talk 09:14, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

There is two reviews and an award (Where did you get one review from?). The concensus of the AFD was keep. I said WP:IAR because people aren't allowed to close discussions that they participated in. Joe Chill (talk) 11:22, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Following a discussion at ANI started by me, it was re-opened. Joe Chill (talk) 11:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

AFDs that were submitted improperly

I noticed you were a closing admin on some AFDs from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2009 September 9. It appears that someone added a couple of nominations after all other discussions were closed for that date onto that list. They're at the top and, as the result of being improperly placed, are probably not having the full discussion they should have, and will probably never get resolved until an admin became aware of it. Can you help fix this? Thank you. --Wolfer68 (talk) 23:08, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Y Done - they have being relisted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2009 October 29 so everyone could have the chance to contribute to these two discussions. JForget 19:17, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

120.19.179.175

Hi, JForget. This editor is evading his block as User:120.16.72.24 --Rrburke^(talk) 13:24, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

I had left a message on the initial user talk page about discussing his changes on the talk page before edit-warring. I know that significant portions of the article were made by a banned editor or sockpuppter after I've check the article history. Still it is edit-warring. --JForget 13:29, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Was blocked since he didn't bother discussing on the talk page. Even though the contributor was block (aside from problems I'm not aware) the contribs on this page sounded constructive with sources though clean-up might be necessary, but it is still not a reason to mass-blank like that--JForget 13:35, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

There's an ANI on Rodgarton involving the abuse of sources. Even so, an editor wishing to remove his contributions as suspect needs to patiently traverse the edit history rather than merely blanking whole sections. --Rrburke^(talk) 13:46, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The page was semi-protected, since he used a third IP to do the same. Thanks for letting me know about the issues regarding Rodgarton.--JForget 13:48, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

He's baaaaaack: User: 120.19.92.16 --Rrburke^(talk) 13:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

He's finally using the talk page this time, although not really mentioning his solutions to solve the issue. JForget 14:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) I'll have a look through the edit history to see if there's someone Rodgarton frequently edit-wars with. That's probably the culprit. At present, though, 120.19.92.164 is evading his block. --Rrburke^(talk) 14:11, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

(outdent) Hi, JForget. I think the 120.1x.xxx.xxx anon editors are probably Rodgarton himself, which is what I suspected from the beginning. this edit is in his inimitable euphuistic style. Same ISP, although there's some distance between some of the IPs.

I think Rodgarton's et al's contributions may be an elaborate joke whose purpose is disruption. He clearly frequents WR, which tends to make that possibility more likely. --Rrburke^(talk) 16:21, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Syrthiss just semi-protected the article today for two weeks, as he made prolonged periods of edit-warring at Precognition. Semi-protection is basically the only resort for now since the editor is IP-hopping via multiple Vodafone addresses. Probably, it would be needed for the other articles he is involved eventually.--JForget 21:00, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Toru Goto (religious persecution)

Toru Goto (religious persecution) was moved to Toru Goto (deprogramming subject) mid-AfD, so the latter should be deleted as well (the former having been only a redirect to it at time of its deletion). 02:14, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Li Shen

Hi -- I reverted the removals of links to Li Shen, since the links are to a notable Tang Dynasty chancellor, on whom I will write an article in relatively short order (perhaps in a week or two), not to the nonnotable person whose article was deleted per AfD. --Nlu (talk) 03:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Shaikh Alauddin Siddiqui article

Very surprised to see you have deleted this article without any explanation, when I took the time & effort to improve it according to your Wikipedia rules. The edited version had references, infobox, high quality image, links and thorough information. Did you even read the edited version, and if so, why was it deleted? Thanks. (Ya habiballah (talk) 22:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC))

A clear majority voted for deletion of this article and this despite your edits to this article. You can submit a deletion review (or you create a newer version that is significantly improved to the previous and which shows it meets notability criteria) - if you want but the consensus was quite clear for deletion of the article. --JForget 22:58, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Curse of the Inauguration

Hey, regarding this AfD, I'm not sure that relisting is necessary. The article has already been merged and redirected, and there's agreement that the AfD should probably just be closed. GlassCobra 12:58, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Consensus at AfD

I noticed you re-listed some articles at AfD in hopes of developing a consensus, like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FuzzFind and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Resoa. But in these particular cases, it looks to me like a consensus already exists. If there is a deletion nomination and two other delete recommendations, and no other recommendations at all, it seems to me that there is already a consensus among the editors who have taken an interest in the deletion discussion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

It happened a few times that the outcome changed after a relist when there was two votes on the same side, so that's why I'm hesitant on closing some.--JForget 22:52, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Noteable Article?

Hi. My name is Sean Wolfington and you recently deleted the article written about me because i was not noteworthy enough and i wanted to ask you to reconsider based on new information that was not in the article, namely references. I am a little confused by Wikipedia because over a year ago i recieved a message that someone wanted to delete the article but other people decided to keep the article after making edits and adding references they said it was noteable. In addition to not being noteworthy some people said the article was self-promoting. This is not true. I discovered this wikipedia page when i googled my name for something else. A freind showed me how i could update it and i updated it so there was more accurate information and then i was told i should not do that. Since that time i never updated it again.

Since i don't know alot about Wikipedia i asked a freind and they suggested i provide information to the people on the business page of Wikipedia to get their oppinion of wheter the article is noteworthy and i wanted to give you additional information that was not on the article you deleted to see if that may change whether the article is noteworthy.

Here is a summary of my background so you can evaluate whether it is noteworthy. All of this information is available through major news outlets and i can give you the references, which seems to be the main criteria for determining if something was noteworthy. Below is my background information. Some of the information was not in the original article and the additional information may effect whether the article is noteworthy.

I am an Entreprenuer and a film maker. I founded and sold 2 technology companies by the age of 34. The first company, HAC Group which operated as Cyber Car and Automark, sold for $200 million (article with info can be viewed at: http://www.nytimes.com/2000/04/18/business/company-news-reynolds-reynolds-to-buy-hac-group-for-200-million.html) and the second for $125 million dollars of enterprise value (BZ Results article- http://www.dealerrefresh.com/adp-buys-bz-results/ - there are many articles about these companies but these are links i just found). My company was recognized as the "Innovative company of the year" from Auto Success Magazine along with SAP (http://www.autosuccessonline.com/leadership.aspx) and I was a finalist for the Ernst & Young "Entreprenuer of the Year" when i was 34 years old and recieved the "Innovative Company of the Year" along with the CEO of SAP that same year. A few months ago was recognized by Haute Living Magazine as one of the top 100 most influential leaders in the Haute 100 along with Michael Bay (Director of Fast & Furious and others), Matt Damon, Donal Trump, Gloria Estephan amonst others. (view at:http://www.hauteliving.com/?s=sean+wolfington). After selling the second company, I started a film production company where i financed, produced and distributed the first film myself (Bella)and it was the #1 top grossing film in its category. The Huffington Post asked me to write an article about it- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/sean-wolfington/what-i-learned-about-maki_b_102704.html and LA Times wrote an article about the unique self distribution strategy that resulted in our film becoming the #1 top grossing latino themed film released in 2007 (LA Times article is here --- articles.latimes.com/2007/dec/04/entertainment/et-bella4) It also was the #1 rated movie on Yahoo, NY Times, Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes while in theaters and it is currently one of the top 50 Rated Films of All Time on Yahoo and it was the #1 Rated movie of 2007 by the users of the largest film review site in the world, RottenTomatoes.com. After that i produced 2 other films including "Self-Medicated", the most award winning film of 2006 (25 awards, you can view on IMDB - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0341569/) and a new motion picture called Mighty Macks (you can view at IMDB http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034324/ which is being released in 2010. You can view the details of my film history at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2055676/). In addition to the film production company i currently own 6 companies in the technology, real estate and entertainment industries.

I can provide more information but this is a summary of my background. Please let me know if this new information changes the noteworthy status of the article. Thank you.Seanwolfington (talk) 05:38, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

{{|Sabor|Embalagem |-Delícia Cremoso e Crocante | Marrom |-Surpresa Crocante de Nozes | Vermelha |-Creme de Chocolate Frio | Azul |-Maravilha Tripla de Caramelo | Laranja|}}

I found it at the end of the Oompa Loompa article, and I have never seen anything like this. It is not a navigation box, or any kind of template I have ever seen. For the life of me, I cannot figure it out, or what its purpose is. Any ideas? ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:19, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

At what version though? I haven't seen it in any of the December version's of the page. I did some testing with the same text on my sandbox and it showed it like that. I would think probably someone tried another form of a column table (different then this or box which didn't work or it was just a test, but I haven't seen this before. Also, if it would work it would not just need one { or }. --JForget 17:34, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

You can only see it in the edit box. When looking at the article, it is invisible. The only way to make it show up in this message was to put the nowiki tags around it. My Spanish is not good, but it looks like an attempt at a varieties of chocolate box, which would still be irrelevant to the topic. Adding the extra { and } produces what you see above, which is still not a working box. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

More for the sake of satisfying my own curiosity than anything else, I tracked down the culprit. The ersatz box was added at 17:55 on 21 December 2005 by 201.29.197.225, who has made no other edits. It was moved around over the last nearly-four years, but never removed. Fascinating. What its purpose may have been will probably never be known. I am removing it. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 18:29, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Protection on John F. Kennedy article

I notice that although you set the semi-protection to indefinite back in September when I requested, the move-protection has an expiration date of December 7, 7 minutes after midnight UTC. Why is that? Because Kennedy is not a living person, there's no good reason to re-title that article anyway. Andrewlp1991 (talk) 05:09, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: AFD on Citymoves Dance Agency

Hi! I noticed the AFD listed above was closed by yourself on 12/December. I saw your comment at the top about not being sure why it was relisted, and I thought it would be wise to clear this up with you. The only reason the AFD was relisted was the fact that come 7 days after the AFD had been placed, there had been very few responses, and 3 of those were socks of each other. I consulted staff on the wikipedia IRC channel @ freenode, who suggested relisting it to gain more opinions on the deletion prior to having it closed. I relisted it on 6/Dec, and the last response was on 10/December. It was purely that 3 deletes and an albeit weak keep, was not felt to be enough consensus to process it's closure and removal.

Hope this helps. Regards, Thor Malmjursson (talk) 18:01, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

no problem thanks, I thought I had noticed 5 people in favor of deletion - with my comment I had already excluded the socks, most of the time I exclude the socks and SPAs in the consensus. I'm not really picky - so let's move on - it didn't had a chance anyways. --JForget 21:29, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
