Seraphimblade, you might remember a case last year about User:Ohconfucius, who had been indefinitely topic banned from Falun Gong pages. He appealed to lift the ban in April 2014, was granted a one-year parole period, but then was brought back to the arbitration committee in June. At that time, you called attention to an anti-Falun Gong polemic in his userspace, which included attacks on several Wikipedia editors. [1] You wrote "If Ohconfucius' pattern of commenting on editors rather than edits continues or speculating on their motives, I'll be in favor of reinstating the topic ban. In that vein, Ohconfucius, I will be requesting reinstatement of the topic ban if you do not get rid of all of your userspace material on Falun Gong and leave it gone." I'd also want to notify @ Floquenbeam: they raised similar concerns several months before you did. [2]
Ohconfucius deleted his userspace essay per your request. But shortly after the case closed, he simply posted a permalinked, older version of the essay to his userpage. [3] This week he restored it in its entirety [4], directly contravening your instructions.
I've filed an Arbitration Enforcement request which mentions you. I thought you might like to know, should you choose to weigh in. Best regards. TheSoundAndTheFury ( talk) 20:27, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI.

Hi Seraphimblade,
If you find a moment, I'm looking for guidance. At the GMO article, I am finding that making the simplest, guideline-based change is not possible. It is discussed here. The reasoning for reverting my edit makes no sense to me, and I trust that there is a way within the system to ensure guidelines are ultimately what governs articles and talk pages. I just don't know what avenues are available to me and am at an impasse. Thanks kindly in advance, petrarchan47 คุ ก 03:26, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

I would like to be able to edit the page Gregorii as I think that it provides value to wikipedia. I was not finished with the article and have reputable references and citations to add. Also, there is historical content and descriptive info pertaining to an evolution of artistic stlye. It is not propaganda or promotion, but a page about an artist who is creating a new artistic process involving light that is changing the way digital art is viewed. I would really love the opportunity to update the article with the sources and with any other feedback you might provide. Thanks for the consideration.

Thank you very much. I've included reference and taken out the "fluff." If you could please review the revised edit here. I really appreciate your help and feedback.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll go through it again and see if I can add more references as well. I'm learning there is a big difference between journalistic writing and writing for wikis. Yes, this is my first article, but I wanted to make sure I could get something that works before attempting any more. :)
OK. I updated again with more explanation and references and stripped out a bunch of the other stuff here. Thanks!
Dear Seraphimblade, I was trying to fix the health section of the Ramadan article. There are extremely dubious medical claims on that section titled as Benefits and their sources are not reliable for scientific topics. I first removed the content (and explained why I removed them) which I thought was not supported by RS's and looked like Fringe ideas. It was reverted and I was asked to seek consensus. I tried to do that, and further searched for scientific studies that may be useful for that section, and find out that claims in our article had no basis in any respected scientific study. You can see the discussion(or rather a monologue) here Some people in that talk page are quick to revert but really reluctant to address the issues. Do you think I should back up a bit or am I right to insist that those claims should be removed? I don't think we would accept a medical article to have these kind of claims with these sources, why should we allow them in other pages? Thanks in advance for help.

@ Seraphimblade: Hello, sorry to bother you but I would like to respectfully ask you to reconsider your decision regarding Soham321. I have to ask you, are you aware of the situation over on the British Raj and Caste System of India articles? The guy has the patience of a saint dealing with what can only be termed as two or three dogmatic, ideologically-led editors. I always assume AGF but the reaction I received when first trying to improve the article was astonishing. Essentially three editors seem to believe they 'own' the articles and proceed to use any and all means to prevent the pages from being the independent, neutral and balanced articles they should be, articles that should be open to review yet are not due to their dated, ideologically-orientated stance. I have never come across such viciousness on Wikipedia and would personally warn them all to back off deleting other editors good faith edits, so I ask you to review what you know about the issue and take a second look, best wishes.

Ponraj Vellaichamy is India's eminent policy maker and ex-president's technological advisor, and co-author of the book India 2020 Sequel. I saw you deleted that "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion". The page is featured in Tamil wikipedia with enough references. Are you not happy with the references quoted for English Wikipedia? செலின் ஜார்ஜ் ( talk) 16:04, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
In a manifesto for change, its author A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, writing with co-author V. Ponraj, offers a sequel. As focused then as now on his dream of a developed india by 2020, the eleventh president of india examines what we need to get right to accomplish that essential goal: harnessing the stupendous energy of our youth to contribute to growth, a united parliament that makes full use of its time for constructive debate and rises above petty party politics to achieve the larger national vision, and a plan of action that looks at development from the grassroots to giant strides in infrastructure and bridging the urban-rural disparity. It is time to leave behind the politics of antagonism and disruption behind, he suggests. As reward: a developed india as befits this beautiful land.
Dear Sir,
you deleted the entry Oliver_M._Gruber-Lavin_Ochoa today. I read that the reason was G12, a copyright violation using some text excerpts from http://gruber-lavin.autriche.or.at/en/vitae/cv/. Yes there is some text used, but there is no copyright violation because full use is granted by the website-owner. Let me know which proof you do accept.
Thanks for your aim to keep Wikipedia on high standard, but I can gurantee you, that in this special case there is no (c) violation, and all deatils are proofen. Pls tell me what you need.

Hi,
you have deleted a page i have spent so much time getting information and putting together without much explanation except for a "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". That article was written completely from a neutral point of view of a student and once i was notified by another admin on the speedy deletion, i actually made a few edits to it as well to make it more neutral. If you even remember that page, (perhaps not since it seems like you delete pages on a 2-seconds basis) will you tell me what is wrong so that I can write something for my school? I believe more people will want to find out about my school, its heritage and what is it about.
THANK YOU. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hungryheartz ( talk • contribs) 05:17, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
@Seraphimblade Apparently you have not read the edited version before deleting. Indeed some jargons were used before they were flagged but were substantially reduced after that. I have copied some of the description from the school's website and I do admit it sounds a little promotional before the edit. Apart from the description on the school, many sources have been verified with links like the newspaper article and TV programme etc. All the project have also been carried out with respectable partners like Nikon and instagram with evidence online. I admire your effort in keeping this site clean but please bear in mind the ultimate mandate of this site and that is to share information. An article that was being complied so painstakingly shouldn't be just deleted like that without much explanation i feel. Before you delete the next article perhaps you can try to point out what YOU think is not appropriate so that one's effort is not being thrown into the recycle bin with a click. I will recreate one again but I am not too sure if I can find all those information I have managed to again but my advice to you is that perhaps you can advise first before just deleting it. You are destroying the goodwill wiki has garnered over the years. — Preceding

@ Hungryheartz: It is better. The new version isn't great, but it's better. First, please do ensure you haven't directly copied any text into the new article from other sources, and either remove it or attribute it as a direct quote if you have, as you stated you'd done that in the original article. I'm sure in your education you've learned about plagiarism, and we operate by similar rules. The same applies to very close paraphrasing. The article also needs to be based on reliable secondary sources. LinkedIn and other social networks, in addition to blogs, personal pages, and the like, would not qualify. It would normally be a publication noted for fact-checking and accuracy, and is independent from the organization in question (for that reason, press releases that are simply reprinted are also not considered particularly reliable). There are still some problems with peacock language as well, but it's not bad enough to qualify for speedy deletion under G11 again. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:53, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
@ Seraphimblade: Thanks for the help this time round! I guess I have done what i feel obliged to already and will leave the rest to other students/school admin to carry on in future.

Dear Seraphimblade,
You deleted the Haulmont page: 17:13, 26 August 2015 Seraphimblade (talk | contribs) deleted page Haulmont (A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events)).
Unfortunately "indication of importance" is not measurable to have a grade that tells exactly what is significant and I fully trust your experience in making such evaluations, but please give me a chance to prove that this article is worthy being published in Wiki.
My claim of significance or importance is justified by the following points:
-Haulmont is already a mature (7 years) IT company, which has been awarded 2 UK awards for its solutions.
-Haulmont is the chief IT provider for Addison Lee - the largest taxi company in UK. They already have a page on wiki with a reference to Haulmont. Thus adding an article on Haulmont will improve current article on Addison Lee. The fact that Haulmont software manages the fleet of 4k cabs in London (including intelligent car scheduling) seems rather significant.
-Our taxi product is used in more than 10 countries all over the world . The distributed soution gives a significant growth to the business where it was deployed (
example).
-Haulmont is launching new Java Platform for Enterprise software development to the international market. We believe in its success, though probably posting a page on Wiki should be done when it will be really famous. But we are already getting requests from Java programmers all over the world. So actually this is the next article I was going to post [
Sandbox for CUBA Platform]. At the moment this is a more functional Java framework than any existing (compared to
Play_framework,
OpenXava).
-CUBA Platform (on behalf of Haulmont) is the silver sponsor of upcoming
JavaOne conf,
JavaOne this year, the major java conference for Java developers.
In my opinion this points allow to claim the significance or importance (though not comparable to Oracle, Google and other monsters:) ).
Please advise how the Haulmont article can be improved so that it was not deleted.

If references like that exist, the article would need to be based on those. If you can point me toward some you think would work, I'd be happy to take a look to see if they might. If they don't exist, I'm afraid we'd be unable to sustain an article on the company at this time. Of course, that could change in the future if more and better material does become available.
For clarity's sake, though, it's nothing to do with anyone's personal opinion of the company, or how great they or their products may or may not be. It's just a question of whether we have enough neutral and high-quality sources to write a neutral and high-quality article from them. Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:56, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, as a user in the edit filter manager user group we wanted to let you know about the new wikipedia-en-editfilters mailing list. As part of our recent efforts to improve the use of edit filters on the English Wikipedia it has been established as a venue for internal discussion by edit filter managers regarding private filters (those only viewable by administrators and edit filter managers) and also as a means by which non-admins can ask questions about hidden filters that wouldn't be appropriate to discuss on-wiki. As an edit filter manager we encourage you to subscribe; the more users we have in the mailing list the more useful it will be to the community. If you subscribe we will send a short email to you through Wikipedia to confirm your subscription, but let us know if you'd prefer another method of verification. I'd also like to take the opportunity to invite you to contribute to the proposed guideline for edit filter use at WP:Edit filter/Draft and the associated talk page. Thank you!

Could you please advise why you deleted these two pages? These two pages have been on Wikipedia for a few years and were posted by others. I only edited each of them to correct some mailing information and erroneous information about a reference to parent organization.
Since I did not create them I don't have the text, photos, etc. needed to recreate them. I am advised that you can provide me with that and advise me what needs to be fixed to keep them posted on Wikipedia.

The lack of reliable reference material is the real issue here. Without that, articles tend to be filled in with personal knowledge from those close to the subject, as appears to have happened here. That doesn't result in a neutral article, and we can't allow personal knowledge that can't be verified through a reference. So the first question is, are there multiple reliable, independent sources we can use to write an article on either organization? If you can point me to some, I'd be happy to take a look and see if they're workable, and if so see what can be done about writing an article. If that reference material doesn't exist, I'm afraid we can't accept any article on the subject at all. Seraphimblade Talk to me 20:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

For the second article, though, I'm afraid no such luck. We can't use Youtube as a reliable reference, and the rest there are blogs, directory entries, and other such things that also aren't editorially controlled or fact-checked. I can't really find anything better, so I'm afraid it seems not to pass our notability requirements. For those looking for information on the organization, I do note that it has a Web page of its own and a Facebook group, so I'm sure those will serve provide such information. Our aim, though, is not to be a directory, but rather an encyclopedia, which is the reason we do insist on reliable reference material to back articles.

Thank you for your feed back on both of these organizations. For One-Armed Dove Hunt I think you might be talking about its mention in Half Way to Venus by Sarah Anderson. If they are in another book I would like to know what that is. In my research last week I found that in 1975 a story about the hunt was read into the congressional record. I can't fine that records that old are available online, but a copy of that record is at this link - http://olneyamputeedovehunt.com/2015/08/28/oadh-read-into-congressional-record/ .

Seraphimblade, I am surprised and disappointed at your decision on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Functional Food Centre at Oxford Brookes University. A week ago, I looked at the debate with a view to closing it, and was not impressed by the delete arguments. Many points were irrelevant, and they did not seem to have looked closely at the sources. So I put on my non-admin hat and argued that the sources were more than adequate to satisfy WP:ORG (or WP:GNG, for that matter). To prove it I completely rewrote the article with all but minor facts supported by reliable, independent sources. The article at the time of nomination and the article at the time of closing are completely different, so the delete votes are for a different article. You do not seem to have taken this into account. I am not asking for you to change your decision, but in future you should keep in mind that the facts can change.

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As you may know, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees approved a new "Access to nonpublic information policy" on 25 April 2014 after a community consultation. The former policy has remained in place until the new policy could be implemented. That implementation work is now being done, and we are beginning the transition to the new policy.
An important part of that transition is helping volunteers like you sign the required confidentiality agreement. All Wikimedia volunteers with access to nonpublic information are required to sign this new agreement, and we have prepared some documentation to help you do so.
The Wikimedia Foundation is requiring that anyone with access to nonpublic information sign the new confidentiality agreement by 15 December 2015 (OTRS users have until 22 December 2015) to retain their access. You are receiving this email because you have access to nonpublic information and are required to sign the confidentiality agreement under the new policy.
Signing the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information is conducted and tracked using Legalpad on Phabricator.

That article is on the Spanish language Wikipedia. This one is the English Wikipedia, which is an entirely separate project with different policies. It looks like the article was flagged for being promotional; the template contains some further instructions to take on that project.

Can you explain what you meant by ‘Quote meant in citation’? I didn't change the quotes at all; I just removed the unnecessary signature, replaced the period with a colon to make the regular text flow better into the back quotation, and moved the definition of that reference to the end of the block quotation and got rid of the first use of that reference; one use at the end of the block quotation should be enough.

Hello how are you. I saw that you revert my edit, I liked to explain the point so as not to get into a edit war, a day ago an user add the Category: atheists. But most of sources show that Einstein Einstein used many labels to describe his religious views, including "agnostic", "religious nonbeliever" and a "pantheistic" believer in "Spinoza's God." But not an atheist.
The article it self noted that he called himself an agnostic, and disassociating himself from the label atheist. He inded was an agnostic but since he refuse to call him self an athiest, Why we will fit him under Category of atheists. Have a nice day. Jobas ( talk) 01:12, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello. You deleted CopyProof paper, a page I had just created. Apparently, you felt that it was an advert and repeated content in Security paper. I beg to differ. I am researching (photo)copy protection and identifying technologies and suppliers of photocopy resistant paper. Some of these suppliers DO have their own Wikipedia pages, while some (like CopyProof) do not. I also was frustrated because in several Wikipedia pages, photocopy protection has become entangled with articles on digital rights management (DRM). While both deal with copy protection, they are otherwise entirely unrelated, certainly in a technical perspective. Since CopyProof paper is based on various patents, I feel it is worthy of a Wiki page, certainly since some of its competitors already do.I personally feel that the security paper page needs work. If some security paper suppliers have pages, then it would seem rational that others do too ... or subsume all under Security paper. Enquire ( talk) 08:19, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Enquire: Upon deletion, the "article" consisted of essentially a single sentence stating that CopyProof paper cannot be copied, and a link to the website. I wouldn't have any objection to redirecting the article to security paper, but that's duplicative of the content there (A10) and essentially just a sales link (G11). If you think other pages are erroneous or poorly written, please feel free to help fix those, but that wouldn't indicate a need for articles on non-notable subjects.
We actually don't have an article on one thing because a similar one exists. Rather, we have an article on something if and only if sufficient reliable secondary sources with no interest in the subject have covered the particular subject (CopyProof paper, not security paper in general) to write a reliable, verifiable, neutral article. Patents, similarly, have nothing at all to do with it. If some types of security paper have sufficient sources to write articles about them and some do not, some will have articles and some will not. Such is true for most types of businesses or products, really. Some in an area pass the notability standards and have articles, many do not pass and correspondingly have no article.

Dear Wiki:
This article
/info/en/?search=Jehovah%27s_Witnesses is Edited by Wiki writer BlackCab who is an ex Jehovah's Witness.
/info/en/?search=User%3ABlackCab It also has many references by James Penton also an ex Jehovah's Witness. Noted Historian Detlef Garbe in his book 'Between Resistance and Martyrdom' said of James Penton "His work has not been taken into consideration... His statements, source selection, and interpretation reflect a deep-seated aversion against this religious association, of which he had once been a member." Thus it's accuracy is called into question." This seems the case with all Wiki articles on Jehovah's Witnesses.
/info/en/?search=Persecution_of_Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_in_Nazi_Germany
They reflect a deep seated aversion against this religious association of which Blackcab and Penton had once been a member. Similarly, you cannot make any edits in this article without BlackCab changing or stopping them. This article like all articles on Jehovah's Witnesses should have been written by a writer who has had absolutely no affiliation past or present with Jehovah's witnesses and thus no bias. It calls into question the accuracy of all other information found in Wiki. Please live up the honesty of Wiki and have someone completely neutral and unbias rewrite all of these articles on Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hello Seraphimblade,
Our page was deleted due to it being advertorial. This was not my in intent at all and is my fault.

Can I re-write the article and resubmit it. I wasn't finished, I had about 10 more references that I was putting up. If allowed to re-write it and resubmit, I absolutely want to adhere to all Wikipedia guidelines. I am a coder like you, guess I should be a better writer, haha, Thank you for the consideration Seraphimblade.

Ye of the brutal blade: Since every lord on high editor here in Wikiworld has a different definition of "notable" and uses his/her own definition to make final determinations about whether articles live or die I'm curious what level of notability passes your bar? You've noted to other poor souls pleading with you that one citation from an outside source is not enough and awards, etc from outside organizations are of no consequence to you. So for a company with hundreds of clients and at least some recordable search traffic seeking information, how many independent citations would you need? Two? Five? Just curious since the guidelines are broad enough to sail the red giant through. Thanks much. Ysplanti420 ( talk) 22:25, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Hello Seraphimblade This is Thisiswhatwefind. Have been searching for ages to see how I contact you. This seems to be it? I was confused as to your reason for the exclusion of the article but have since found that placed at the end was a link to a site which not only had some background on the band but also has a compilation of music for sale. This was added without my knowledge by another person whom I gave access of Thisiswhatwefind to in order to add anything that I did not know. And their addition must have been added just after i sent the article for inclusion on Wikipedia. I know that Wikipedia is an information site and not a 'shop window' and apologise for what happened. I fully appreciate why you declined the page. Was there anything else apart from that inclusion that you had a problem with? I was trying to do a plain and simple history of the band Direct Drive and being new to and unfamiliar with how one adds content was not and still am not fully conversant with how one adds references and was proposing to add them later. For your information here are some of the links http://www.whatmusic.com/info/productinfo.php?menulevel=home&productid=153&returnurl=http://www.whatmusic.com/home/index.php http://www.discogs.com/artist/87235-Direct-Drive-3 /info/en/?search=Paul_Hardcastle /info/en/?search=Helen_Rogers http://www.soulchoonzradio.com/featured_artists.php?FID=47 Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisiswhatwefind ( talk • contribs) 22:20, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
Re Direct Drive.
Thanks for the feedback. I wish to nail the problem here. Are adjectives not permitted? Is an attempt to describe something not permitted? If you listen to the voice of Derek Green anyone with a cursory knowledge of the band Earth Wind And Fire and their singer Philip Bailey would be hard pressed not to note the similarity and relative unusual nature of the voice. This is in no way an attempt to compare the music or the bands merely descriptive. Anyone who knows Paul Hardcastle would agree with 'effervescent'. I could use other words but 'effervescent' covers it. I do not consider this praise of any kind merely an adjective to describe his personality. This does not imply any reference to his abilities or otherwise and/or kudos for the band. I absolutely agree that in hind sight "...beautiful and expressive voice..."for Helen Rogers was close to praise. But non was intended... merely an attempt to describe her voice. The reason for doing so being because the nature of the different singers used in the journey of the band was very different and it was an attempt to show this. Another way would clearly be better. Do you consider the links which I attached to that which I posted on your site inadequate for the band to be included in Wikipedia? They are independant of anything within the control of the band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thisiswhatwefind ( talk • contribs) 16:58, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
@ Thisiswhatwefind: Alright, that's a common source of confusion. I'll try to provide some clarification, and I do know it's a very different style of writing from what most people are used to. Let me give you an attempt to show you what I mean. In one that I wrote, Kelli Scarr, note the feedback from NPR. First, I don't put that "in Wikipedia's voice", and no, peacock terms like that normally shouldn't be done that way. If no reliable source had ever expressed that view, it would be inappropriate for me to have included that in the article, even if I were really sure it were so.
If a critic favorably reviewed a band, movie, game, etc., we might note that in the article, but would attribute that to the critic, not say it in our own editorial voice. But articles aren't for publishing our own thoughts about what something sounds like. An article isn't a music review, and it certainly should never be one by the editor writing it. I shouldn't even be able to tell someone's personal opinion when they write about something, it should be based solely upon summarizing verifiable and already published material. Even if you're absolutely certain that anyone listening to it would come to the same conclusion, if reliable sources haven't actually said it, we can't have that in an article. If a reliable reference has expressed that opinion, we can include that as appropriate in the article, but in their voice, not Wikipedia's. Does that make more sense? Seraphimblade Talk to me 17:49, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
Re Direct Drive Thanks very much for the clarification in the different styles of writing. I think the penny has dropped. And the value of Wikipedia has been well outlined by you. I will go through the piece again with this in mind. It is good that persons such as yourself are looking after the integrity of Wikipedia.

Hi Seraphimblade, the article "Fran Villalba Segarra" that I wrote was deleted for being promotional in tone. I was surprised by this, as I made several revisions when the promotional tag was first applied to remove language that might sound puffy or subjective, and for a while the page appeared with no "issues" box at the top. Apparently I didn't do a good enough job :-) I would greatly appreciate the chance to have the material again so I can make the tone of the article neutral (and add some additional references that I've been going through - they didn't go in the first time because they are in Spanish), and any feedback on improving the neutrality of the article would be very helpful of course. Would it be possible to restore the article to my sandbox or something similar? Thanks very much for your time and consideration, Ermcpeek ( talk) 19:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi. We are new to Wikipedia. We have a startup company in Utah that is very prominent and have been featured by a lot of media. We have also closed the NASDAQ in NYC in October of 2015. I noticed that as soon as we published our wikipedia article it was immediately flagged for copyright (which isn't surprising since we took a lot of the content from our website) and it was also flagged as being advertising and not encyclopedic in nature. As we are new and don't really understand everything about how wikipedia works we quickly researched and edited the article to be neutral and re-wrote the copyrighted content from the website so it would not be flagged for that. However the article was still deleted. I am wondering what we can do to get it back up? We used a lot of sources within the article as requested. Our citations and sources are from very prominent reliable sources including Forbes, Business Week, Rice University, Brigham Young University, and local and national press. Can you provide us some guidance so we can get the article back up? Thank you so much for mentoring some Wikipedia newbies! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffhall24 ( talk • contribs)
Hi Seraphimblade, I am new at Wikipedia and the first article I wrote was deleted after some days. This was my first Wikipedia article and I understand that the reason for deletion was that the article was not neutral enough, right?

Maybe you can help me with some examples where I should rewrite the text to be then a good article for Wikipedia. Thank you so much! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AssMTbio ( talk • contribs)

Hello. Per WP:DELREVD I am speaking to you first prior to a deletion review. I feel that you did not interpret the consensus properly when closing the discussion. The nominator's concern was about independent notability. I addressed that with multiple sources which included an interview, existence of a museum dedicated to the person, and also appealed to WP:ANYBIO with sources showing how instrumental Nagai was to the manga industry and his influence on notable artists that were mentioned. Jun_Kayama made a fair point before evidence of notability was provided. Then in response to Knowledgekid87 I gave the aforementioned information. Then Michitaro solidified the evidence of independent notability in what should have been a Keep !vote. Finally, DGG made some silly argument about how one article is sufficient, which has no basis in policy. The consensus was clearly leaning towards keep based on the evidence provided. I would like to make a friendly reminder that AFDs are not a vote and that the edit notice on AFDs says "valid arguments citing relevant guidelines will be given more weight than unsupported statements". I look forward to hearing back from you. Opencooper ( talk) 04:34, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Would you consider reopening this? I was just writing my comments when you closed it. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:16, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Some consistency? (You warned me to honor Futher Perfect at Sunrise's instructions to not post at his Talk page again, under threat of sanction on me by you if I did. OK. But see here: FPAS posted to The Rambling Man's Talk, Jan 10, 23:00, after TRM's instructions at 22:38, Jan 10, that FPAS not post there.)
(Basically, it seems weird that you caution me for something re FPAS, then ignore when FPAS does that very thing you caution about, to someone else. If the warning you gave *me* is good to honor instructions to not post to a user's Talk page, then the same warning must also be good for FPAS, *especially* he is admin and has expectation to follow rules & best practice more than say, a reg editor. But I guess too, it all makes perfect sense, if there are different rules that apply to admins, than reg editors, and by different I mean lower or degraded standard of behavior. Do you think so? Because again that is really the shortest distance between two points to understand this difference, or if not, then just disagree w/ me and I'll consider your reasoning.)
You suggested I come to your Talk if I had any Q. I don't have any Q about your warning to me, I had no intention to post at FPAS Talk again after thanking him, so your warning was really unnecessary, however, I do understand it nevertheless. (My Q is about the apparent double-standard, that's all.)
Thx for your consider. IHTS ( talk) 22:26, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

I'd put money on it myself but, unless I could find a record, ledger, log or other document from the photographer, then I can't say it's a 100% Burnside. The only picture that I can find of his wife is a b&w ink portrait and, if the picture is really Burnside, the artist was extremely 'kind'. JeffersonClark ( talk) 04:10, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello Seraphimblade. You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Petite Meller as delete four years ago, and I endorse the outcome of the 2012 AfD, I am here just to have the page unsalted (the admin who salted the page has retired in the meanwhile so you are the closer and more appropriate person to be asked). Back in 2012 it was clearly too soon for a claim of notability, and there were also sock issues which lead to protecting the page and which appear to be moot at this point. Meller apparently achieved a consistent notability in the meanwhile and got bunch of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources, especially in the last two years. Some examples I found in a few minutes via Google News: Vice [7], The Guardian [8] [9] [10] [11], Corriere della Sera [12], BBC [13], Paper [14] [15], Vogue [16], Official Charts Company [17], Panorama [18], Rolling Stone (Italian edition) [19], The Sunday Times [20], W [21] [22], Evening Standard [23] [24], The Fader [25], Billboard [26], Gigwise [27] [28] [29], Euronews [30], Helsingborgs Dagblad [31], The Irish Times [32], Schön! Magazine [33]. WP:GNG and first point of WP:MUSBIO seem to be met. Also, her recent song "Baby Love" charted in several countries, including being #30 in the UK [34], so the second point in WP:MUSBIO seems to be met as well. I think the time is ripe to allow volenterous editors to start an article about Meller. Obviously a new eventual AfD is always enterely possible, even if I think notability here is not a close call. My best, Cavarrone 08:52, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for getting back to me. Regarding the lead sentence, thanks for clarifying that it usually does not have a footnote and that it should reflect the body of the article
Regarding the use of the term "convert," I am not alone in my reluctance to use this term. The following website gives this advice about talking with Jewish people about Jesus: "'Convert' implies leaving behind one’s Jewishness. It is better to speak about 'becoming a believer (or follower) of Jesus.' But it is appropriate to explain that biblical conversion was spoken of by the prophets as meaning “turning back to God” rather than “changing one’s religion” (see Isa. 44:22; Jer. 4:1; 24:7; Joel 2:12).
Here's a similar thought from another website: "Many Jews don’t like to be called converts since they already believed in God, and in their religious observances, they were already responding to that part of the Word of God in the Tanakh, or what we call the Old Testament. When we recognize the Messiah and enter His Church, we fulfill or complete our Old Testament Faith. But we do not lose our ethnicity, who we are."
I agree that my suggested change to the lead sentence is a bit formal. How about this instead: Jews for Jesus is a non-profit organization founded in 1973 which seeks to share its belief that Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Jewish people.
Also, I notice that someone has deleted several of the extensive criticisms and that the article now appears much more balanced. There are several other things that I believe need editing, but I would like to first get the editors to agree to changing the opening sentence. What do you think of my suggested change?

Dear Todd ,
My name is Mohan, and I wanted to follow-up on the deletion of an article on Ashoka fellow and the founder of Design for Change, Kiran Bir Sethi.
I created a Wikipedia talk / articles for deletion: Kiran Sethi page; I wasn't sure if that was the appropriate venue to reach out to the editors, so I have taken the liberty of editing your talk page. I am a wikipedia noob, so please excuse any violations of protocol.
I have read the project deletion logs and understand why the page was deleted. Among others, I recognize the following issues: a) Incomplete or absent secondary attribution b) Language was promotional.
Would it be possible for me to resubmit a completely rewritten article with both primary & secondary citations for review?
Alternatively, can I create the page again with the new content and submit it for your review?
Thank you!
Best, Mohan -- Mrgudipati ( talk) 06:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
Dear Todd,
Just as an update, user/Oshwah replied to my talk page and suggested I reach out to him on his talk page for further discussions, if any. I have done so. The link is User_talk:Oshwah#Articles_for_deletion.2FKiran_Bir_Sethi
I have also pasted the text of the message here for easier reference:
" Dear Oshwah,
Thank you for replying so promptly, and having the patience and consideration to explain how the AFD works to a newbie like me.
I based my request on the following comment by user DDG on the deleted article's talk page, where he wrote the following comment:
"It is possible that she is notable, but if so, the article still needs to be deleted and started over. As David Eppstein said, the promotionalism is too pervasive. I also tried to see if a little rewriting would help, and failed also. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism is an equally good reason."
It was based on this comment as well as the discussion that preceded this comment that I made my request. Please advise if, given these observations by the editors in the talk page Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kiran_Bir_Sethi, could I request a review of an rewritten article that attempts to address the issues.
For instance, in terms of notability, among many other achievements, Design For Change, the movement started by Kiran Sethi, was recently identified by the UN as one of 15 programs that can help achieve its global goals for sustainable development. UN Global Goals Programs. We would like to, if possible, add an article on the Design for Change movement Design for Change and like Kiran's biography to this article.
Once again, thank you for your time! :) Thank you!

Dear Seraphimblade,
I just wanted to apologize for the Ariane_de_Rothschild_Fellowship page you deleted, as its style was indeed not respecting the Wikipedia guidelines. As this operation was not focused on advertising, but rather on completing the Wikipedia pages on the Rothschild family, I'll submit a most appropriate version of this article in a few weeks.
I will make all the efforts to respect the Wikipedia guidelines, and will stay available if you want to make any inquiry about the article.

Hi Todd, I've proposed a motion in response to the Doncram amendment request which removes the topic ban you placed. I'm normally very hesitant to override the enforcement decisions of admins where there hasn't been an appeal to AE/AN. I've done it this time as it's part of a wider set of provisions. Before voting on it though, I'd appreciate any more information/evidence you can present supporting your previous statement that we shouldn't change Doncram's restrictions.

I don't understand the rapid deletion, or the somewhat glib comment about "fluff." All the changes I made were carefully researched and footnoted and the matters in question are all without doubt factually correct so it's not an issue of innacuracy. I don't see how updating the url for mcgrath's current company is fluff, or updating his employer for that matter as he has not been with Key brand for almost 4 years from what I learned. STX Entertainment is a major announcement in the entertainment business - I was at their presentation at Cinemacon in Las Vegas which is what brought it to mind and their presentation is a game changing event and he was in on the formation. I also don't see how adding research footnotes to otherwise unchanged text is fluff, or fixing broken links, or clarifying cross references to eliminate disambiguation notices, or updating references to include the STX investor group. I understood the comment on the mcgrath's theater credits to be one of research, not fluffiness. I checked many other theater producers in Wikipedia to see if such lists were common and they are, particularly when the credits go beyond those on the broadway database. I note that similar objections as those made to mcgrath were made on his former partner's page, John Gore, but his virtually identical credits are still there (including London) and have never been deleted or commented on. I also checked the other STX executives who have similar and even more extensive descriptions of STX in their pages, but their company descriptions were not deleted as being fluffy. One such executive has virtually no credentials beyond being at STX, but her page is unchallenged. I don't understand this process or the selective nature of the deletion, so I am writing to you to learn more. I will be in China most of the next week but will check here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.107.87.35 ( talk) 05:10, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events) G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion

Hi Seraphimblade, I'm here to inquire about the deletion of Battleground Records 2016-06-12, and ask that it be restored. It was deleted due to promotion of a company, and because it did not indicate the significance of the company.
On the first point, I am not a member of the label or any band on the label. I am a fan of several bands on the label, some of which I have seen in concert. Some bands have undertaken a national tour, well outside the boundaries of a local band. I used the Wiki page for Small Stone Records as a template as it is also a small label focused on similar music genres as Battleground. I have nothing to gain in promoting the label or bands on the label, and am simply attempting to give Wiki-credit for strides made by the label (and ultimately a festival) to bring music from these genres to a bigger stage.
On the second point, I felt my characterization of the label as an American independent record label, the focus of the label, linking to bands on the label who already have Wiki pages (the fact two bands under the label have Wiki pages alone provides significance to the label in terms of Wikipedia), as well as specific genre description clearly indicated the significance of the record label within the genres it targets, though I did not specifically state "this label is significant because". Granted, I did use the label's wording of what they are about in the description, but that can be easily amended. There are numerous record labels throughout Wikipedia meeting or falling short of the specifications of what I put in Battleground Records, such as Almost Ready Records, Ars Benevola Mater, Binge Records, Bellaccord Electro, Carrot Top Records (of which, issues are listed in the header at top from four years ago), Cheap Records, Glurp Records, and Humming Bird Records, to name a handful out of the hundreds of different labels within Wikipedia.
I cited my sources with the limited information available; limited due to the less than mainstream love for these types of music.
Lastly, I plan on following this page up with a Southwest Terror Fest page, which just completed its fourth year. It has been a prominent festival for bands within these genres. Battleground Records has been influential in helping bands get onto this festival.
Please consider restoring this page, and if there are major things you feel need to be addressed to bring it into compliance, please let me know. From my standpoint, I only see one major thing needing to be addressed, which is "...and promotes a stable platform for artists to build their future success on."

Hi Seraphimblade. I'm preparing to dip my toe back in the wikiwater after a long break and am trying to remember how to do things properly. Re your minor edit here, that's the way I wrote it when I was drafting the paragraph, but I thought it might be overlinking, since he's linked already a bit further up in the same section.

Hi, can I please know your reason behind deleting the page? Thanks. MohitMirchandani ( talk) 14:25, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
"deleted by consensus at AfD, which is why I've protected the page." - The consensus was outdated. Following that consensus, the notable person received new articles in media, and online following has increased. There are multiple online third party sources which can blatantly justify notability, and I kindly request you look into this.
"Finally, it is not acceptable to use Wikipedia for promotion of any kind, which the page in question did" - If you've read through the page you would hopefully note that all content in that page was not of promotion nature. It was unbiased facts all taken from reliable third party sources. If you feel the page was written in a promotion like nature, why not re-create the page in a different way. Entirely removing a page due to the way it's written is biased and unfounded. -- Justicebrownx ( talk) 19:52, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
User HughD is indefinitely topic banned from, among other things, the area of climate change. He has recently been editing at Global Climate Coalition. Would opening an enforcement request here be the appropriate thing to do in this situation? Thanks. Safehaven86 ( talk) 15:25, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors July 2016 News
Hello everyone, and welcome to the July 2016 GOCE newsletter. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 12 through 18 June; the themes were video games and Asian geography. Of the 18 editors who signed up, 11 removed 47 articles from the backlog. Barnstars and rollover totals are located here. Thanks to all editors who took part. Coordinator elections: The second tranche of Guild coordinators for 2016, who will serve a six-month term until 23:59 UTC on 31 December, have been elected. Jonesey95 remains as your drama-free Lead Coordinator, and Corinne and Tdslk are your new assistant coordinators. For her long service to the Guild, Miniapolis has been enrolled in the GOCE Hall of Fame. Thanks to everyone who voted in the election; our next scheduled one occurs in December 2016. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; self-nominations are welcome and encouraged. July Drive: Our month-long July Copy Editing Backlog Elimination Drive is now underway. Our aim is to remove articles tagged for copy-edit in April, May and June 2015, and to complete all requests on the GOCE Requests page from June 2016. The drive ends at 23:59 on 31 July 2016 (UTC). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Corinne and Tdlsk. |

There is massive sock puppetry on EnVyUs. CLCStudent ( talk) 14:51, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi Seraphimblade. You are guys a done a good job but we don’t understand why you have deleted the CIAPS articles. All efforts have been made to make it neutral. We have also noticed that it is more neutral than approved articles of the same category like /info/en/?search=London_Business_School /info/en/?search=Lagos_Business_School We have carefully looked at this two and others to see we went wrong but with no luck.

I created a page for the Associate Professional in Human Resources certification, keeping it very educational. Making no reference to any organization or product other than the certifying body. I do not understand why it was deleted, when there is currently a page for the "Professional in Human Resources" (another certification from the same certifying body). The deletion, to me, seems contradictory to what is currently being permitted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HR Cert Prep ( talk • contribs) 15:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Hi Seraphimblade I did not post the CIAPS article. I used the "we" because we studied your deletions (and some other deletions) with some mates to see if we could catch a pattern and understand the rules. The two articles we referenced were chosen because they were about similar topics. I wrote you using the CIAPS article as a case study because I was hoping for some specifics rather than the all-encompassing G11 code. Thank you for taking time to reply.

Regarding your closure of Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Debresser. I would suggest to add something to the closure. Namely that the ruling is ad hoc, in the sense that it does not mean to imply that any Rfc can not be overturned only by another Rfc. This seems obvious, but it is a potential misunderstanding IMHO.

I confirm that I have requested an account on the UTRS tool. Seraphimblade Talk to me
Any chance you could clarify that to permit non-substantive changes? It shouldn't affect WP:GNOME work, like fixing a punctuation error or updating a link to a page that moved. Someone cleaning up the same typo in 100 articles might not even notice that one page was under a restriction that peculiar. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 13:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
I tend to agree with the lack of neutral tone in some of the content you've deleted, but you're deleting the majority of the page and turning it into a stub entry. Can we please discuss on the talk page ways to improve the page, and remove any non-neutral tone content as opposed to mass deletion. It is hard to find a database page that is worse off based on the deletion level you just took. q ( talk) 17:06, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
Well, my mistake. :( I am kind of new with Wikipedia edits and started to provide information about this topic as it was almost empty and I know some info. Thanks for your comments in helping me to become a better editor. I will make edits to remove some of the text I added that could be interpreted as promotional or biased. I am going to add more edits to other articles too. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stvw80 ( talk • contribs) 02:22, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
