[edit]I think this might interest you since you commented in the first deletion attempt. Please visit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Jackson (conductor) (2nd nomination)--Karljoos (talk) 01:03, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi, sorry to bother you again, but I think guy is notable. His entire family is notable (two have been long-time Harlem politicians), and he frequently appears in NYC area papers and other media. He's notable enough in his own right as an engineer. While clearly a mess, the article can be fixed before it is deleted. The deletion of this without very clear consensus will likely cause bad publicity to Wikimedia. Please give me a few weeks to work on it, and then it can go to WP:AfD if you still feels it must be deleted. Bearian (talk) 15:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm surprised to hear an admin tell me someone is notable because their family is, but whatever. If you think you can dig up sources go right ahead. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 17:51, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Yes, I guess that's what I should have done! Thanks, Pdfpdf (talk) 18:01, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi Hairhorn, can you please justify your claims of Original Research on the above article? I agree there are problems with it but I don't think OR is one of them. There also seems to be an excess of tagging eg. Expert-subject, Technical and Over detailed. This hardly seems to be the way to encourage a potentially useful new editor.--Paul (talk) 09:13, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- This page was a cut and paste move; I may have added more justification the first time around. For starters, all of the sources are primary sources. It's also more of a scientific paper than an encyclopedia entry; the difference is not always clear, especially for new users. Hairhorn (talk) 15:55, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Move from where? I did notice that a lot of history seemed to missing. For many of the hard science articles it can take a loong time for good secondary sources to appear. I think the secondary sources are more important for the medical articles than the molecular biology ones. That's why we're arguing that these articles should be merged rather deleted. But just because it's using primary sources doesn't make it Original Research does it? I'd still like that claim justified please. --Paul (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:No original research. If you want to improve it and untag it, please do. Hairhorn (talk) 16:27, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmmm, the link between that definition of Original Research and these articles seems tenuous to me. I can see why first-hand accounts of an event would be bad, but a peer-reviewed article? Will wait and see if we can get some dialogue going with Johno4302 before improving.--Paul (talk) 16:40, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:IGFBP7 RNA editing
[edit]Hi Hairhorn,
You added a merge tag on the IGFBP7 RNA editing. I have added a comment on this on Talk:IGFBP7 RNA editing. I would be grateful if you could you read it please ?
Many thanks, Acabashi (talk) 23:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello Hairhorn. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of IUCAB, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: An international organisation is a credible assertion of importance I think. Needs to go to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK 22:41, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- Are you using a script? I didn't nominate this page, I just retagged it. Hairhorn (talk) 02:48, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't know how I got involved with editing this club, but I did. Thanks a lot! ;) Drmies (talk) 02:53, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- You're welcome.... I guess... Hairhorn (talk) 03:14, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't see "too old to speedy" as a reason not to delete anywhere on WP:CSD. Doesn't "speedy" refer to the process rather than immediacy after creation? – ukexpat (talk) 17:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Well, strict chronological age is not really a criterion, but, if there is an acceptable previous version to revert to, speedy is not an option. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 18:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- That I understand, but in this case the previous versions were so spam-riddled that there is nothing worth going back to that could actually survive as an article, so I think my tagging was justified.--ukexpat (talk) 18:53, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Okay, I've replaced the tag then. Hairhorn (talk) 18:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Not trying to spam
[edit]Thanks for your response to my article about my not so humble self I guess. I thought that bona fide publications mattered and was not aware that self-published ebooks do not qualify. I am not opposing the deletion of my contribution - just wanted you to know it certainly was not intended as spam. I am an ethical professional with many years of experience and thought this would be OK. I guess I'll have to wait till I'm dead for someone else to write about me.

[edit]Hi Hairhorn Thanks for your comments on the above page. I have been bamboozled by the process and notifications. (First created page issues) I am trying to work with these issue with your colleague Diannaa. The press release does indeed contain a copyright statement though it is based on a pre-existing press release. I will arrange for a unequivocal statement of copyright freedom from the artist's website for this material. Tomcan (talk) 23:35, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Could you please remove the tag now? The hook might be used for April Fools' Day DYK. If it is merged, it would not be allowed. We could talk about merging after April 1. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:17, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

- Please, it is nominated, and IMO it is a great April Fools' Day hook.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:26, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

Crews Control
[edit]Why did the article/page for Crews Control get deleted?
I have never used Wiki before and the instructions are not organized or clear in publishing content. I noticed tags {{ }} that I didn't insert inside the post so naturally I deleted the content that wasn't supposed to be there without realizing WHY they were there-- including the internal links to wiki pages of the Fortune 500 companies affiliated with Crews Control. I added the {{#hangon thingy}} to fix it and finally was able to make the article look like how I wanted it to look. I even added the {{#advert thingy}} tag IF that was supposed to be included. Then the page was deleted??? Makes no sense. Who was attacking the page for deletion??? Videoequipmentdiva (talk) 17:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)videoequipmentdiva

Merging would not help
[edit]User_talk:crosstemplejay Hi hairhorn this is user:crosstemplejay. Thanks for the observation but one major reason why the two topics should be separate is the article Optometry in the Western Region, sheds light on the low number of eyecare professionals in the region. It has the least number in the country with the lowest number of surgeries done. By merging the article the current sitation of the problem may be lost, thereby not shedding any further light on the millions of people who yearn for eyecare services.Crosstemplejay 16:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crosstemplejay (talk • contribs)

[edit]Hey. I pointed out on the authors talk page and in the edit summary that it's not a copyright violation (at least of that source) but I still think it was copy/pasted from somewhere else. A place that may own the text before WP published it. I'm going to take a look around but keep me posted in case you find the text anywhere else. The author is the subject's son so if I had to guess, it was part of a eulogy or obituary written by his son that's floating around to different sources. OlYellerTalktome 18:21, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- My bad on this one.... this is clearly a pay-to-publish obit, probably submitted by the same person who wrote the wiki entry. Thanks. Hairhorn (talk) 18:23, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
Jake Mauga
[edit]Actually, you can't re-tag that for speedy deletion. Any editor other than the one who created the article may remove the speedy deletion tag. As soon as that is done, it may not be re-tagged. Instead, it must be taken to AfD, which is what I'm in the process of doing now. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Uh, have you looked at the accounts on that page? That's clearly a sock edit. Although I admit I didn't notice at first. Hairhorn (talk) 12:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I suspect that they may be socks, but I think we would need to confirm that at WP:SPI first before moving forward with a speedy deletion. Heck, maybe in the week of an AfD, someone can find sources that establish notability and actually make it a real article. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- I don't even expect this to last the whole week. Hairhorn (talk) 18:48, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Question on tag removal
[edit]Hi, Hairhorn. I noticed you tagged then removed the G12 template here with the edit summary that there is a compatible license. I only see the Copyright © 2003-2005 Dr. Klaus Dierks on the site. I must be going blind because I'm unable to spot any compatible licensing -- could you please point it out to me? Thanks. — CactusWriter (talk) 19:44, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, are we both looking here? Because I can't find the copyright notice you mention, I ony see "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License." all in caps at the very bottom of the page. I rather suspect though that this is simply text borrowed from a third page, which probably doesn't have the same license. Hairhorn (talk) 19:47, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, okay, I see the problem now. No, that is the wrong source. This page is the source for the text. The creator used this source in a few articles. — CactusWriter (talk) 19:58, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, okay, I found that page for the other entries. I'll retag it. Thanks. Hairhorn (talk) 19:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Ah, you beat me to it. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 20:00, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, okay, I found that page for the other entries. I'll retag it. Thanks. Hairhorn (talk) 19:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I've gone ahead and deleted it. (I was running through the creator's new articles and deleting any they used the same source for.) Thanks for checking though. Cheers. — CactusWriter (talk) 20:03, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hello! Please read the guidelines of notability for musicians:
Has released two or more albums on a major label or on 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).
. i.e.: if a musician has released two or more albums under a notable label, they are considered notable. Notable. NOTABLE.. I hope you understand. I suggest you to read ALL the guidelines of Wikipedia before tagging such articles in the future. Kind regards, 109.64.96.169 (talk) 16:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- in fact this part of the guideline reads may be notable; this entry needs refs from third party sources, currently it has none. Hairhorn (talk) 16:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- It hasn't "none". It has FOUR(!) third-party , and reliable sources. You can find his name everywhere in the web in neutral, third-party sources. I can't believe my eyes, did you see this article somewhere like in a "new user's created pages" page that you are so eager to delete it?!! So what If I am a new user?? Unbelievable. I'm happy you left it though. 109.64.96.169 (talk) 18:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- Third party sources are souces independent of the subject, the only possible candidate is Allmusic, which in general is neither reliable nor genuinely third party. since most of their bios are rehashes of press releases. Notability requires significant third party coverage. If he's notable, the coverage will be there, so it shouldn't be an issue. This is the whole point of maintenance tags, to assist editors in improving the entry, blanking the tags doesn't really help anyone. Hairhorn (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to take part in a study
[edit]I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to Main Study. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates about 20 minutes.

Might want to read the edits that you're reverting more carefully…
[edit]Just a heads up— [2]. --Gmaxwell (talk) 04:03, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, I rolled back a vandal edit; that often does not involve reviewing the rest of the entry... Hairhorn (talk) 04:22, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- I think the edit you rolledback was a well-intended but foolishly implemented correction of the crap line immediately above it. Importantly, because your reversion effectively burred the crap edit it could have prolonged the amount of time required to actually put the article back into a good state, which is the real goal. Obviously I don't expect people to review the whole article with every revert, but reading the prior line when a bad edit is pretty clearly responding to the prior line would seem sensible. It's not worth having a higher quantity of revision patrolling if it comes with a loss of review quality that ultimately results in bad edits being hidden from review. --Gmaxwell (talk) 12:46, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Notability Tag
[edit]Dear Hairhorn, To address your notability tag for Otavio Good article, I have placed references into the infobox and more throughout the text. Not all articles mention this person, but state the fact they reference. All infobox articles mention Otavio Good (For Technology Review article, you need to download full-text document to see the name though). Hope this helps.

Edit reversion
[edit]Hi Hairhorn. You reverted my changes at Mark Wright (politician). I realise now I forgot to make the neutrality changes that Bigtimepeace suggested. Sorry - that was a copy & paste error. I think the extra info, and in particular the newspaper article dedicated entirely to him [3] do establish "notability". If I correct the neutrality stuff, will you allow this edit? What do you mean by "Try the article talk page next time"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.159.34 (talk) 17:06, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Hello Hairhorn?? Could you reply to this? 2.98.215.74 (talk) 08:26, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
- I can't actually see the article, I only see a preview. Also, notability normally requires significant third party coverage. Until you make the edit, I can't possibly tell you whether it's neutral or not. You can always propose changes on the talk page of the entry, although the talk page of a redirect is unlikely to get a lot of traffic. Hairhorn (talk) 13:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
PROD on List of countries by cultural group
[edit]FYI, I removed the PROD tag from List of countries by cultural group because it has already been proposed for deletion once, and contested. As such, if you wish to pursue deletion, you would need to take the article to AfD. Articles cannot be relisted for proposed deletion. Happy editing!! jsfouche ☽☾Talk 03:52, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
The next step and guidance please?
[edit]You posted a note about notability on the article I was working on. Since I am just starting this whole Wikipedia world, I wanted to confirm something. I will be adding more references withing the next 48 hours. If I feel it is sufficient, then do I post here and ask you to remove the tag? Second question, can this article be deleted with a notability tag? I wanted to know how much time I have to fix it. I have been working on the article for only a few hours and have still not finished what I feel is necessary to conform to the wiki policies. the article is Juan Verde Jaguilera909 (talk) 05:57, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
- Tags can be removed by anyone if they no longer apply; all of the maintenance tags that were previously on this entry have been removed, I'm not convinced that they don't still apply. This entry is not up for deletion. See Wikipedia:No_original_research#Primary.2C_secondary_and_tertiary_sources for more. Hairhorn (talk) 18:11, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
Comeback Season II listed at Redirects for discussion

You just nominated the article for deletion per G5. It's correct that the original author was blocked (by me) for sockpuppetry, but are they socks of a banned user? My rationale for blocking was just that two accounts, created almost simultaneously, respectively created the article and removed speedy tags from it. The current version of the article has little if anything to do with the original, which promoted some weird blog. Favonian (talk) 14:15, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Explanation?
[edit]Hi, This is regarding Green Development. I had only taken two points from a website you mentioned that i copied from and you deleted the entire section, I even cited the website, did i not reference it correctly? Please let me know so I can avoid making the same mistake in future, Potpourr!^ ^ (talk) 13:43, 11 September 2011 (UTC) Hey Hairhorn! You requested the page Bert Mizusawa for a speedy delete with no other justification but it was previously deleted before. Did you review the script on my talk page USER:Missclark with the original deleter USER:Balloonman regarding this page? It was previously deleted for the conversation that pursued involving WP:COI when the individual was running for a public office (over a year ago). The individual is no longer running for political office and is noteworthy under WP:N WP:MILPEOPLE. Please read the two different articles and compare with the previous articles for deletion. Thank you. Missclark (talk) 18:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I am still waiting for your reasoning. I posted this on the page as well—I am requesting that anyone who deletes this page state SPECIFICALLY why page is not WP:N per WP:MILPEOPLE. NOT JUST DELETING FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER. Check your respective talk pages for further clarification. Anyone who deletes this page under the sole reasoning that it "was previously deleted" obviously is not abiding by the editing standards since they did not read the new article, to compare it with the deletion discussion (which took place over a year ago), and then come to a determination.Missclark (talk) 22:21, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Since I am unable to read the previous version, it is up to an administrator to compare the two versions. The primary problem seems to be a lack of notability, in this version and the previous one (conflict of interest was not the only issue at AFD; pages are usually not deleted when COI is the only issue). Which of the criteria at WP:MILPEOPLE do you think he meets? I do not see it. Hairhorn (talk) 10:43, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Aelita Andre (buying an art show makes one notable?!?)
[edit]this struck me as the sort of article for which your judgement would be useful. article aelita andre raises an interesting issue: apparently this kid-artist's promoter-parents bought her a show at known vanity gallery, agora gallery in new york city. then out go the press releases. a tv channel seemingly not knowing that it is a rent-a-wall space put out an article about how incredible it was that a 4-year-old actually got a solo art show in new york city. other world media took up the story from there. everyone passing the story along because the first stories were from nyc and so must be a big deal (but generalist news reporters don't know which galleries are buy-a-show venues). so: if you're notable because media echoed other media talking about your solo nyc art show, but the initial reports were bogus --because really it was just a paid show-- are you REALLY notable? see http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Talk:Aelita_Andre http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Aelita_Andre Cramyourspam (talk) 18:32, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Changing the Meaning
[edit]Hi Hairhorn, I have noticed that you keep cediting the boiler point for the HDMA page but by doing so you are changing the meaning and not accurately reflecting the association. The association deals with healthcare products and services, as well with prescription drugs, so it should really read "the national association representing primary healthcare distributors" to be entirely accurate. Thanks so much for your help!
- Why don't you change it to something more clear then? "primary healthcare distributors" is just jargon. Hairhorn (talk) 13:27, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

India Education copyvios
[edit]Hey, I see that we've been following the same copyvio trail on work coming from Wikipedia:India Education Program/Courses/Fall 2011/Economics of the Social Sector Year 2 Group A. I was just about to start on a complete checking of each student's claimed article, and then it occurred to me that I could save myself some time if I checked to see if you'd already done that, since I know that you've been cleaning up as many of their vios as I have. So, do you happen to have done a complete go-through of the student/article list? If not, I'm going to get started on that... A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 14:25, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- Please go ahead, I have only hunted-and-pecked my way through this and tagged what I've seen. There is also a a related class. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 17:19, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
- What a mess! I've created a subpage in my userspace to help me keep track of who's done what. If you're up for a bit more punishment, your help would be welcome systematically checking the submissions/logging the results - ideally we'd end up with a list of whose are clean, whose aren't, and what warnings, etc the violators have been given. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Some waited three decades to see you and your colleagues expose the bio. Historically, this particular con is able to connect with his mark by creating the persona of a successful Hollywood screenwriter, devoted father and concerned contributor to community causes. Your public service gratifies victims and may dissuade potential marks from becoming victims themselves. Thank you. ||Regarding the imdb.com credits: Writers Guild feeds the Filmography categories of Misc Crew (1 title) and Writer (9 titles). These specific, legitimate credits are verifiable with the union (WGAw). But as you know, the vast majority of user-submitted credits/bio are nearly impossible to verify. About the film sale reported June 10, 1992 (Streisand on p.1): Variety reporter Matt Rothman wrote "...surprised by the size of the transaction and the rookie status of both writer and (production company)..." Yes, Rothman was skeptical. About the plagiarism discoveries: should you wish background, let me know. Arrest, conviction and incarceration records in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Santa Clara counties probably aren't your province or concern.

Copyvios and help
[edit]Hey Hairhorn,
I was just about to revert all the edits of this user, Potpourr!^ ^ (talk · contribs) made to the Article, Green development, as a lot of it looks like total copyvio. However, some of it can be saved I think. Since I saw that you already had reverted certain edits...which fell under dubious copyvio, could you have a gander at it again and see if you can save anything or a complete revert is required.
Just to introduce myself, I am a Campus Ambassador assigned to this program, i.e. WP:IEP and an avid Wikipedian. For any assistance or queries, please revert back to my talk page.

Hi, Hairhorn. I've declined the speedy deletion of this article because the subject appears to meet the nominal notability standard.

I won't be watching your page so if you have any thoughts to share regarding G7 and notability feel free to post at my user talk. Regards Tiderolls 06:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Follow-up. I've left a message on the article creator's user talk explaining my action and letting them know they can request deletion if my action is counter to their wishes. I think the article would survive an AfD, but that's just one opinion. Tiderolls 08:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

This is marginal PRoD. I would have sent it to AfD, but I won't second-guess you. Bearian (talk) 22:12, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- If you say so. This is an essentially unsourced BLP of someone who gives a lot of press quotes for their job (none of the biographical details are sourced, the refs are all articles where he's given blurbs). If you think it's marginal, go ahead and decline it; the last two things of mine you declined went to AFD and were deleted there instead. Hairhorn (talk) 00:44, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
I moved the article on the controversy to this title, and started generalizing it. I think that while the controversy is certainly not appropriate for a article in its own right, the website as a whole may well be notable. I'm glad you placed a prod on it, which called it to my attention as I regularly check Prods about to expire. (BTW, "is this still here" is not really an adequate summary when PRODing an article--it's necessary to be explicit that one is proposing it for deletion by PROD.)
Obviously the section on controversy needs to be rewritten & shortened in a major way, and sections on other materials on the site, and courses associated with it need to be written.Perhaps you can do some of this, as I've not previously been familiar with the matter & you seem to be. I think a proper rewriting would deal with it much better than outright deletion, but even if you nominate for AfD it might be fair to try a rewriting first & if you don't wish to do the rewriting, I'll do what I can with it. DGG ( talk ) 16:49, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
- Not sure why you would think I knew anything about this other than what I gleaned from a few cursory Google searches (enough to satisfy myself that there were no good third party sources available). I still don't see any notability, for the website or otherwise. I'm in no rush to send this to AFD; if it's still kicking unimproved in the far future, We'll see what happens then. Cheers. Hairhorn (talk) 01:05, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
Unsourced sales pitch?
[edit]The edit you removed on Fido Solutions was not intended to be an "unsourced sales pitch". The truth is, Koodo has set certain prices during its launch in March 2008, and such prices were matched by competitors Fido (still going strong) and Solo (almost discontinued). The same happened in 2011: Koodo started offering Canada-wide plans, and Virgin Mobile Canada (in lieu of Solo) copied such plans. Fido imitated them to a lesser extent.
If you have a way to make this pricing standard sound less like an "unsourced sales pitch", please let me know. That's what i want to do, to keep the articles neutral. Thanks. --True Tech Talk Time (talk) 14:22, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Eric
[edit]Hi. That's due to an orthography issue with capital Es and recent changes in how French represents this. Yes there are cases of E not having the accent, in Belgium particularly due to Flemish influence, but generally several sources have to be checked due to the orthography/type issue. See fr.wikipedia. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:17, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Zionist Occupation Government
[edit]I have a hard time believing that the use of the term 'ZOG' or the opposition to its supposed existence is simply reducible to antisemitism. I would imagine there might be an antisemitic strain of people or groups of people that use the term 'ZOG' but the article raises a lot of suspicion to the reader when it bears the claim that it is objectively antisemitic. Perhaps the article could be reworded or expanded to clarify this. Please respond on my talk page. BakuninGoldmanKropotkin (talk) 00:52, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I have despeedied this as a Google search showed a source for the usage as made by the creator. In fact, the term is actually in a Psychology Today article. Dlohcierekim 02:54, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- The term is used (although I doubt it passes WP:NEO), but the entire entry was a sarcastic attack. Note that Age of narcissim from the same user was speedied. Hairhorn (talk) 17:25, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- I am astounded at your approach to a new user-- whom you have accused of vandalism. Then when you don't have your way with an inappropriate speedy deletion template, on an article that was already PRODed, you go out of your way to taunt and harass them? The original creation was by no means what would have been hoped, but your reading of it is purely subjective and shows a lack of understanding that many new editors are not as polished as they may become with patience and encouragement. To return to the vandalism slur, there was no pattern of vandalism in his edits, merely one of unsureness and unfamiliarity with the project. This is a new editor who needs help, not whatever it is you call your approach to new editors. Dlohcierekim 20:59, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Furthermore, do you presume that a second iteration of a speedily deleted article should be treated as vandalism? That earlier deletion was for insufficient context. How are new editors to learn if we refuse to show them the ropes and brusquely taunt them for there lack of knowledge while labelling vandals? Dlohcierekim 21:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I'm willing to grant I could have been more helpful with this user, that much is true. I have to disagree, though, with your characterizations of both my actions and the entry. There's nothing unusual, for example, in nominating a prod nominated page for speedy deletion; (what is unusual is removing a CSD but then completely changing the content of the entry, that much is telling). I don't see any "taunting" on my part (and this isn't a new account, unless by "new" you mean a very small number of edits, if so, granted). The full log for Age of narcissim reads "neologism", not just "lack of context". And so on. Hairhorn (talk) 22:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- YES that much is very Telling. I do my best to rescue an article rather than deleting it. We are here to build an encyclopedia. Deletion should be the last resort. Cheers Dlohcierekim 23:04, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- And yes. Someone w/ a total of 7 edits is very new indeed. Dlohcierekim 23:12, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the feedback. I have already changed the content after flags has been raised to stop using flowery language and also to remove content that had copyright infringement. I completely understand the second flag requiring a neutral point of view. However, since the content has changed since the article was flagged, can we not reconsider it and not continue to flag it for deletion?
Thank a lot.
- The language in the entry is utterly promotional, not at all neutral... it goes well beyond being "flowery" to being spam, which actually qualifies it for speedy deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 18:34, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Anyway, like I said all I needed was some time, but I finally found a link that says Vickie Guerrero herself said that she named the stable "American Perfection", and also that Tamina might was going to join the stable, but I guess WWE changed their minds about Tamina.

[edit]Yes, I have salted it for a month and blocked this IP for a week. This is an odd case, a long-term hoaxer who creates plausible-looking (at first glance) pseudo-scientific articles on talk pages. They use a string of different IPs, usually located at Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, sometimes at other locations near there. Until recently they have tended to be hit-and-run, and they are too many and too varied for a range-block, but they don't seem to have other uses and individual IPs are sometimes active over more than one day, so I am beginning to think that where they are persistent like this one a week's block might help choke them off. The talk-page hoaxes don't do much harm, but they are beginning to alter existing articles to match, which is more serious, so if you see any more it's worth checking the contributions. You might let me know, too: I am compiling a list of the IPs involved, though I don't know that we can do more than play whack-a-mole. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:19, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Please be more careful
[edit]Hello Hairhorn! I noticed that you tagged Anil Kumar (film director) with WP:BLPPROD. There is only one flaw with your tagging, BLP PROD is tagged if there are no sources on any form. The article really do have sources, 3 sources to be exact. Have a nice day and thank you. Mediran talk to me! 11:20, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- Visit or see WP:BLPPROD for more info. Mediran talk to me! 11:21, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
- I placed this tag because it reads " All biographies of living people created after March 2010 must have at least one reference to a reliable source", which applied in this case. If you care to read the policy you've linked it reads "the BLP deletion template may be removed only after the biography contains a reliable source that supports at least one statement made about the person."

Hairhorn, speaking of articles in common, I noticed the "Paloma Picasso's red period" section near the top of this page. It's really old news for you now, but I'm just seeing it for the first time. I think it's absolutely shameful that you were asked to remove a "merge" tag so that that garbage could become a DYK. About a year ago, I mentioned that it was possibly the worst article on Wikipedia, whereupon Drmies performed the merge. I told him that I considered my torpedoing of the DYK nomination and thus keeping that trash off of the Main Page to have been one of my greatest achievements here.

Declined
[edit]I've declined the speedy for George Jackson (conductor). The articles are written in a different way but the real reason I decided to decline it was because of the radio award. I don't really think that it's enough to where he'd pass notability guidelines, but it's big enough to where a second AfD might be a good idea. I'm kind of torn. I honestly don't think he'd pass a second AfD but I don't know how prestigious that award might be. If you want to re-tag it and/or get a second admin decision, I completely understand. I'm tempted to speedy it, but the sources are different enough to where it could be argued that it should've gone through a second AfD. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 13:04, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

[edit]I've deleted it G4. I declined CorenBot's copyvio tag - the page cited is an attributed copy of the Wikipedia article. Peridon (talk) 13:46, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

I reverted the speedy tag since the tag had been challenged by someone who was theoretically a third party (never mind that that the "contested deletion" notes between the two editors look remarkably similar....). I went ahead and put it up at AfD instead, where the article (and the sockpuppetry) will get an appropriate amount of attention. Thanks. --Finngall talk 02:44, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Isabel Allende Karam
[edit]The article Isabel Allende Karam has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -The Gnome (talk) 18:43, 11 June 2016 (UTC)
