2. If you ask me politely why your page was deleted, you might get a personal answer. Otherwise, I'm just going to point you to the same policies you've already been pointed to.
3. The existence of similar content is not a valid argument for inclusion, so don't even try it.

Pepper

Hi !

I agree with your comment on the pepper-disambiguation.

The problem I ran into when trying to fix it is that it appears to me as if *most* of the pages linking to "pepper" really mean pepper as in the group of spices. Which means that:

Linking to black_pepper is wrong. Linking to the disambiguation is however also not correct, it is clear they mean "pepper (spice)" and not for example, "pepper (music)". I wrote about it on the talk-page for pepper.

What do you think about my idea: Write a new page "pepper (spice)" which talks about the group of spices commonly refered to as pepper (or peppers), and include links to the various types of peppers, such as black_pepper and chili_pepper.

Good ? Bad ? Wanna help ?

On the subject of admins at DYK...

You seem to have an interest and quite a significant bit of content experience. Is that something you'd be willing to take on?--v/r - TP 21:41, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm willing to co-nominate here, and I could help you make RFA as pleasant of an experience as possible, having nominated 40+ candidates successfully in the past. You do good work in this project, you have a clear need for the tools in a non-controversial area, and I really don't see any faults on why you will be opposed. I hope you change your mind and decide to give it a try. For any apparent reason it doesn't work out, it isn't the end of the world neither. Thanks Secret 23:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

To editors Secret and TParis: I really appreciate the offer, and the compliment. I'm not interested in pursuing adminship right now, but I might reconsider that in the future. Thank you. —Swpb 15:09, 23 November 2014 (UTC)

Let me know when you are ready to run so I could get your nomination ready. Thanks Secret 22:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Triticum macha‎‎

Sorry I didn't mean to step on your edits on that article, I just thought at this point they would be better served with a redirect to Wheat, since the articles were only saying they are a type of wheat. If you disagree with my assessment please feel free to revert my redirects and continue to tag his 6 new articles.Triticum zhukovskyi‎‎ Triticum ispahanicum‎‎ Triticum vavilovii‎‎ Triticum macha‎‎ Triticum sphaerococcum‎‎ Triticum militinae‎‎ - McMatter /_(contrib) 15:48, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

I agree that it should be deleted. The fact that you came to your conclusion when I was actually still editing the first version should hardly matter. Unfortunately, I am not able to keep up with this speed. Vaganyik (talk) 15:07, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Kaustubh Sarwate User: kausis

Nehru Institute of Mountaineering is a highly renowned mountaineering institute in India as well as in Asia. Yet there is very little information available about the courses they conduct. My endeavour was to attempt to capture this information thereby making it a fairly reliable source of information for both national and international students planning to do the course here. I believe the article provides a lot of detail which is otherwise not available either on wikipedia or externally. What I have covered is from my personal experience at the institute recently. Hence the request to maintain this information on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kausis (talk • contribs)

Teen Choice Awards; AfD Breakdown

I ran across your AfD here. Though I do agree with much of your baseline thoughts I'm inclined to redirect to the larger article as it doesn't meet general notability precedent when it comes to various awards we do often list candidates. Potentially more of note to you is Teen Choice Awards#Award categories which links a bounty of article clones of the current AfD discussion. You may want to handle them individually depending on the topic or notability of nominees (I won't pretend to know your ever motive here) or perhaps try a larger discussion on improved organization. Just wanted to make sure you were aware.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dog's bollocks (typography), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Colon. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed Deletion for 'Steep Turn'

Removed proposed deletion - Steep Turns are a concept taught to pilots across the globe! It is 'very well known' terminology across the aviation world. This proposal for deletion is as good as proposing 'Take Off' or 'Landing' for deletion. Not only has this article been worked and reworked quite a bit by various authors since its addition by me, but myself am a pilot and can state on 'full authority' the authenticity of a 'Steep Turn' as a manoeuvre published by ICAO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Css1986 (talk • contribs) 19:24, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

AFD

This seems uncharacteristically imprecise. I've not gone as far as to suggest WP:SK3, but I wonder if you missed something you might ordinarily have seen during a routine search. St★lwart 23:38, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of GreenWood

Could you point me to some sort of guideline for how to indicate a subject is important or significant? Most of what I know about them comes from their own website and appearances of their associates on television, but relying on those sources exclusively tends towards promotion, which is what Wiki isn't. I'd like to track down some independent material and flesh out the article a bit, but I don't know what's available. I'd like to see an article on poverty reduction through introduction of low-carbon emission production, which would perhaps benefit from a reference to them, but I haven't found an existing article that seems particularly apt.

For what it's worth, I have no affiliation with GreenWood. I was curious about them and hoping to find good information in Wiki; having come up short, I wanted to leave some breadcrumbs to give the next person in a similar situation a head start.--Wcoole (talk) 01:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC) I see the delete happened and I'm basically OK with it, but disappointed in my hope that there would already be an article on a subject that seems notable and of interest to me. I'll probably need to write (or start) a broader-based article, perhaps Sustainable something-or-other, since Sustainable development is used to mean something rather differnt and put citations from GreenWood and other sources in it.--Wcoole (talk) 21:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Regarding Proposed deletion of List of Movies Screened in 7th Bengaluru International Film Festival 2014

Dear Swpb, The article is meant to help listing all the movies screened in the biggest international film festival happening in my city. This article also helps understanding and linking to specific Movies and learn quickly about their directors etc. Also note that the movies that gets screened have importance based on the subject, country, language, culture, heritage and more. Many times, we never get to find such movies having a reference page on wikipedia and I find this as an opportunity to build such pages as and when I find more time to do some research on them. Similarly, many other wikipedians might drop by and contribute as well. I will continue to try making this article more useful for wiki than just leaving it here as a list of movies. My another concern is that the international film festival websites get revamped every year and I never get to find the data related to movies screened in coming years and its a big loss. This page even addresses the need to retain such data. Hope I have tried my best to collate all the need for the article. Please guide me what else I could to better to improve this article instead of just nominating the page for deletion. Thank you very much taking time to review the article though.

DLD - Digital Logic Design

In your prod rationale of DLD - Digital Logic Design you said not a single independent source has a mention of this. Do you have access to the sources? I am fairly convinced you are right except for the Mano and Cletti book for which I have no access. This has been deleted multiple times and has failed an AFD. The only reason I have not deleted it outright is that this time an attempt has been made to provide sources, but given the "form" of this editor I am prepared to delete it if you can confirm that the sources fail verification. SpinningSpark 01:39, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

DLD - Digital Logic Design is a new educational tool to provide assistance in teaching those subject areas mentioned in the article. The references given in the article is related to the subject which were using some old tools to teach the subject. Those tools are either outdated or no longer supported on new platforms. The research paper related to this new tool is under review process in some research journal and, as in most cases, will take around 1-2 year to come in print. I have included this article to provide a resource for the students and teaching community which is looking for new tool for the purposes and come to wiki for this purpose and found outdated software links on this prestigious site.

Oil Refineries of America

Hello, As many have said, this is my first post to Misplaced Pages and it is not nearly finished. I will be adding more and editing all weekend and should be finished by Monday. I just wanted to get it started. However, instead of deleting my page right away some suggestions would be nice instead. My article has more information and it is more specific than the article you compared it to. Yes they are similar but they are not duplicates. Would you suggest me adding onto that article you brought to my attention instead of making a new one? If so suggesting that first would be better than requesting an immediate deletion. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.Elenigiagos (talk) 00:52, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Tricia Dingle

I've declined your speedy for copyvio and removed the bot tag as well. The same text appears to be present at both pages, but the http://www.thefullwiki.org/Tricia_Stokes one cites the Misplaced Pages one as its source. It is also licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, although I didn't see a mention of GFDL. Even though the bot tags it, it's as well to check as there a lot of mirrors (and some of them won't be in the bot's list of places not to bother with, assuming it has one). When a site copies but doesn't acknowledge is harder to detect. Often, you can look in History and trace the gradual progress of the Misplaced Pages article to the version in dispute. If there's a sudden jump in the text here to the current version, it's quite possible that it's a copyvio. If it's had a jump which then gradually evolves, it's likely to be an undeclared mirror at their end. If it's just gradual change over a period, it'll also be a mirror.

Merging

Hi, when you merge an article, you must not ask for the merging page that became a redirect to be deleted. This must be retained for attribution.

Removal of IDR Solutions page

Sorry to find that you considered the page for IDR Solutions to be inappropriate. They're a long established software company in the UK, the founder is well regarded in the Java community and on the speaker circuit, and IMHO (which being a long standing WP editor is no less valid or worthy than yours (again IMHO)), they are a good fit for several categories including the software companies in the UK one; WP is foremost a research tool, and people use that category for locating interesting companies to work for, as I know from hiring successful persons within my own organsation who have used that very route.

For the avoidance of doubt, I've no personal interest in whether the article exists or not other than not wishing to be wasting the precious time that I choose to donate to enhancing Misplaced Pages, and I'm not associated with IDR in any way other than meeting the founder recently at Google DevFest in Turkey where we were both speakers, and where I expressed surprise that they did not already have an entry. WP is certainly not for advertising or self promotion, and it's one of my own pet peeves to find listings abused for this purpose. Having researched their details, the proposed article took a neutral and unbiased stance without self promotion, no direct product references (though such content arguably should be included as relevant) and with appropriate category listings. The content was short which is not unusual for a new article, and I would say was no less appropriate than other software company pages of minimal size such as https://en.wikipedia.org/E-Tabs, which is a somewhat worse entry having no company information box.

The UK has a tradition and culture of small software companies, and with most new companies failing within the first year or two, in surviving for over a decade and being precisely the type of company that forms the very bedrock of the UK's world dominance in the software arena, IDR very much merits being included in my opinion. As you obviously disagree then for educational purposes perhaps you could do the reader the courtesy of saying why, and come up with your own entry for IDR based on your personal view of what the page and others of their ilk should contain. Moggie2002 (talk) 13:33, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Moggie2002, I don't deny your long standing as a WP editor. It's unfortunate that your article trod the same path as User:Markee174's deleted version. User:Swpb found the same faults with your version that I found with User:Markee174's last month. Neither of you provided any evidence of notability. How about some independent sources? You know, the stuff a long standing WP editor knows to include in an article so that it doesn't trigger a CSD. Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not the yellow pages. Both you and User:Markee174 argue that other companies have gotten away with it. As I replied to him last month, if you believe that the E-Tabs article or any other article contravenes the rules then, for the good of Misplaced Pages, nominate them for deletion.

Swpb, apologies that a question I posed at User talk:Moggie2002#Speedy deletion nomination of IDR Solutions flowed over onto your talk page. Bazj (talk) 14:50, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the followup. I've posted my final thoughts on the topic on my talk page. Moggie2002 (talk) 14:59, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

As a final final comment, the following references show up with some further searching on IDR, as posted on Bazj's talk. They're a NetBeans partner (https://netbeans.org/community/partners/) and the founder is a member of the NetBeans Dream team (https://netbeans.org/community/contribute/dreamteam.html). They're also members of the PDF association , they regularly contribute at conferences including PDF Days Europe, iText Summit, JavaOne, Business of Software and Devfest Istanbul, where they are also a partner.

As I also noted on Bazj's page, their involvement in the software community raises them above others that don't in terms of contribution, and makes them arguably important and notable for those reasons. Moggie2002 (talk) 17:53, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Groseille pays - This page should not be speedy deleted because...

This page should not be speedily deleted because: It is Not a promotion page as i have been noticed in my inbox but it's a Creole name of a plant which has been referenced into different names and type of content in wikipedia such as : https://commons.wikimedia.org/Hibiscus_sabdariffa or https://fr.wikipedia.org/Hibiscus_sabdariffa (your reason here) : Creole is a language as equal as French, English etc.. but in general Creole has been referenced as dialect or something even tribal as far as i have read already. Creole is a mix of different languages spoken in Caribbean In Guadeloupe and Martinique they do not call Hibiscus_sabdariffa some do not even know what this is, but Groseille pays everybody knows about it. That is why it is necessary to reference Groseille Pays in Misplaced Pages which seems to be like a world online dictionary. as an individual i really try to take advantage of it and make traditional Caribbean words regarded with interest and value. Some links to reformat my text will be very kind to get if possible.

Comics+ Article

Hi, I am new to wikipedia as a contributor, so apologies if I post this in the wrong spot.

This article is about Comics+ - it is a digital comic book platform. I would like to start creating entries for more digital comic book platforms in Misplaced Pages, as I feel that they are underrepresented (with the exception of Comixology, as it is owned by Amazon).

I know this article may not be as detailed as others, (I do not work for Comics+ so I can't comment much on their inner workings) but do want to start with something where others may be able to contribute.
