Why was Xmortis deleted?

I would like to know why "Xmortis" was deleted as a non-notable event in Cambridge, MA. The event was created after Hell which was a very notable goth night at "Manray" nightclub in Cambridge, MA. Xmortis continues to this day. Many articles have been written that reference Xmortis. Xmortis creators had a hand in creating the Miss Gothic Massachusetts competition in Cambridge. What else needs to be done to prove that Xmortis is worthy of an entry?

Image deletion question

Why was File:12thManStatue.JPG deleted? No notice, that I saw, was given and the rationale is a bit vague. Simply correcting the fair use rationale could fix the problem. Please explain. — BQZip01 —  04:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi BQZip01, a disputed fair use tag was added by Angr on 17 February, which indicated that "not one of the articles where this image is used has any critical commentary about this statue itself. It is used merely for decoration and does not significantly increase readers' understanding of the articles; it thus fails WP:NFCC#8 in all articles where it is used." PhilKnight (talk) 12:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Couldn't disagree more. Each one of the articles (especially the 12th Man article) had text describing and asserting the importance of the statue. The image itself was not copyrighted, but the subject certainly was. The only thing I ask is that you restore the image and submit it to WP:IfD. — BQZip01 —  01:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Restored and listed at WP:FFD. PhilKnight (talk) 08:12, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

That's all I ask. Thanks! — BQZip01 —  08:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Um...you've orphaned the image. Could you please go back and restore the image on the appropriate pages? If it is orphaned, it is also eligible for deletion. — BQZip01 —  19:33, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

User 68.218.209.5

I know it's an IP address. I guess this should not be about punishment or retribution. But 31 hours as a suspension for that vitriol? Seems you have been merciful in the extreme. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Stan

Hi 7&6=thirteen, the block was by Kralizec! the merciful. PhilKnight (talk) 19:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll go take it up with the author. Thanks. Best to you. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC) Stan

J+S ArbCom case

Hi Phil, (cc'd to ChrisO)

In the upcoming J+S ArbCom case, I'm worried Elonka's limited topic ban will be used again to cast undue doubt on my conduct. Since 1) Elonka confirmed it was based on a misunderstanding on her part and 2) she promised to lift or at least reduce it after one week, then forgot about it and went on a Wikibreak, and 3) the stated infraction was first changed, then never specified beyond a vague "based on the recent pattern of reverts, and working your way through several Israel-Palestine articles and making Samaria-related reverts", and 4) the only two Samaria-related reverts I had made in the preceding week were in order to fix problems with claims that were either unsourced or sourced exclusively with highly partisan refs , I wonder if and where I can appeal to have the ban lifted?

Hi MeteorMaker, according to Misplaced Pages:ARBPIA#Appeal of discretionary sanctions - the WP:AE noticeboard. PhilKnight (talk) 08:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll try that. MeteorMaker (talk) 08:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Hamas’ termination of spies active during the 2008-2009 Gazan-Israeli conflict

Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Cerejota (talk) 19:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
