Can you expand on why you think BLP applies? Because I don't think it does. There is no contentious material in the article. The only real question is whether the material included asserts enough notability (and why or why not). - ]|] 00:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

==Spun-out articles==
Generally, the only accepted articles that rely on the parent topic's notability are lists, though even they are often disputed. Single characters don't fall under it because without real world information, plot information can always be cut down to a reasonable level or just left to the main topics. An article like ] can be cut down to a few sentence and placed in the main article or a character list fairly easily if necessary. ] (]) 01:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
*If that's the case, why does ] say otherwise? I note that it states that it's _rare_ to do it with characters, but when you're working with a series of the complexity and high level of detail of Known Space, I think it's reasonable to say that such a series is an exception. ] (]) 01:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:*That's mainly just to remain open to the slight possibility, though I don't think anyone would actually expect any exceptions. I would suggest starting a discussion on the WAF talk page if you think otherwise. ] (]) 01:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

In how much detail do the publications you listed describe this and could you use them to provide inline citations (and perhaps a bit of expansion)? - ]|] 13:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

* Check ], which now holds the content of the article on ] as the first section. Not much point having a ''main'' link from the section to the article, when they are identical, so I would turn the article into a redirect to the section. That way, people who look for the monument will jump to the section, and may then browse other landmarks. People who look at landmarks in general will also see it. If an editor wants to add significantly more content on the monument, it will be easy enough to split it out again as a separate article. This is '''not''' a topic on which any editor will say "once deleted, always deleted". ] (]) 03:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

== notability question ==

MODx‎ discussion cont here because it is more about the awards.

Maybe my wikipedia argument is not the best but... you are saying ] is a reliable source and one of the newer things the company does is an awards competition and if a product wins said award, in any place, they are notable. My thought is should the award/competition be notable, have significant, independent reliable sources. ] (]) 01:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

:I don't think that's absolutely necessary. The way I see it, the award, in itself, is a reliable source. Not only that, it's a particularly good one: it says that in the (reliable, professional) opinion of the award's authors, the product given the award is ''one of the best avaiable''. My argument, basically, is that that is as good as two reliable sources just giving information about the product: it testifies to its importance, and importance is a component of notability. ] (]) 09:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

::I guess I disagree... If (notable) company X creates a new product it isn't inherently notable. ] (]) 18:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

'''Incomplete film'''

:Perhaps not, but the article as it stands doesn't really make a lot of sense, whereas the ] article describes exactly what it seemed to be talking about, and does define the "framework and concepts" of event-driven systems in general.

== Hi! A request for your input ==
:::Good work. Makes a lot more sense that it should be an independent article now, since it discusses in-depth interactions between components. I think as the concepts are so closely related, though, there should be something at the top of each page like "this article discusses the use of events in the design of information processing systems; for details of the programming design pattern that uses events see ]" or something like that.

==Centripetal vs Centrifugal forces on ]==
Hmm, just looking to avoid a 'revert war', but as I understand it, the ] acts in a reactionary manner on the object which is exerting the centripetal force. In this case, the habitat is exerting a centripetal force on its occupants, while the occupants are exerting a reactionary centrifugal force on the habitat. That is why I'm suggesting that centripetal be used, rather than centrifugal, as the subject is the effect on the occupants.


== ] ==
The ficticious definition of the centrifugal force really doesn't help someone who is trying to understand it as it is, well, ficticious, and therefore could lead someone analysing the physics in the wrong direction (pun entirely unintended). <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 04:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

:The problem with saying it's the centripetal force that acts in this manner is twofold:
<!-- Message sent by User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=WiR_list_2&oldid=812113507 -->
:*Centripetal force acts in the opposite direction to the "gravity" that is felt in a rotating frame, so clearly it isn't actually centripetal force. It might, however, be the reaction force provided by centripetal force, except...
:*Only something that's actually in contact with the outer edge would experience centripetal force. But all objects within the frame of reference experience apparent downwards acceleration, whether they are in contact or not. The acceleration is fictitious (i.e., it's really caused by an *absence* of acceleration due to there being no centripetal force to keep the object moving in a circle), but is an observable phenomenon. The "force" causing it is the fictitious centrifugal force (really a combination of inertia and lack of centrepetal force, which is effectively what centrifugal force is).

John Bigelow, IV

Can you expand on why you think BLP applies? Because I don't think it does. There is no contentious material in the article. The only real question is whether the material included asserts enough notability (and why or why not). - Mgm| 00:35, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Spun-out articles

Generally, the only accepted articles that rely on the parent topic's notability are lists, though even they are often disputed. Single characters don't fall under it because without real world information, plot information can always be cut down to a reasonable level or just left to the main topics. An article like Jack Brennan can be cut down to a few sentence and placed in the main article or a character list fairly easily if necessary. TTN (talk) 01:01, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

  • If that's the case, why does WP:WAF say otherwise? I note that it states that it's _rare_ to do it with characters, but when you're working with a series of the complexity and high level of detail of Known Space, I think it's reasonable to say that such a series is an exception. JulesH (talk) 01:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
  • That's mainly just to remain open to the slight possibility, though I don't think anyone would actually expect any exceptions. I would suggest starting a discussion on the WAF talk page if you think otherwise. TTN (talk) 01:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Sergeant Cheerleader

I made it prettier per film MOS, but the article still fails WP:NF. I did some deep searching and could not find sources independent of the subject.

Thred taper

I replaced the speedy tag at thred taper. It's just an ad. See http://www.thredtaper.com/ NJGW (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

I won't revert, but see my comments at the AFD. I think the discussion should run its course. JulesH (talk) 16:43, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Also, Speedy tags should only be resolved by administrators. I thought you were an admin closing the tag, but I don't see your name at the list of admins. NJGW (talk) 16:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Really? The text in the speedy template reads "If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice." That doesn't suggest only admins should remove it. I think you misunderstand how speedy deletion is supposed to work. JulesH (talk) 16:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Ah, you are correct on that point, but according to "Pages that exclusively promote some entity and that would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." it does qualify for speedy. NJGW (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I disagree that it's exclusively promotional. Mainly, it describes what the machine in question does. It's badly written, but doesn't seem particularly promotional to me. JulesH (talk) 17:04, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Isn't describing what the machine does promoting it? NJGW (talk) 17:06, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
I'd say describing what the machine does is the primary purpose of an article on it. Describing how to acquire one, or why it's better than competing products, or going into too much detail about its benefits, these would be promotional. The article doesn't really do this, IMO. JulesH (talk) 17:09, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
When an article does not give any indication of notability, it is purely promotional. If it really is the best, that's notable. Imagine if the Pepsi article only said "it comes in a can and tastes good". That's purely promotional, with no indication of notability. NJGW (talk) 17:16, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but if it said "a vegetable-extract flavoured soft drank, sold in cans", that wouldn't be promotional, yet still doesn't establish notability. Which would then be up to an AFD to establish. JulesH (talk) 17:20, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Also, looking at the history, User:Nyttend has previously declined the speedy and is an admin. Let the AFD discussion continue. JulesH (talk) 16:54, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Unhexseptium

Hi there, could you please revisit this discussion? The claim that IUPAC has documented these elements may not be justified. Tim Vickers (talk) 21:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Monumento a Giuseppe Garibaldi

In how much detail do the publications you listed describe this and could you use them to provide inline citations (and perhaps a bit of expansion)? - Mgm| 13:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Check Buenos Aires (Landmarks), which now holds the content of the article on Monumento a Giuseppe Garibaldi as the first section. Not much point having a main link from the section to the article, when they are identical, so I would turn the article into a redirect to the section. That way, people who look for the monument will jump to the section, and may then browse other landmarks. People who look at landmarks in general will also see it. If an editor wants to add significantly more content on the monument, it will be easy enough to split it out again as a separate article. This is not a topic on which any editor will say "once deleted, always deleted". Aymatth2 (talk) 03:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Battle Hill

Thanks for your efforts salvaging that article. I had lost hope for it. But it is a very principal issue about deletion policy. The time I spent on it was not a complete waste of time then. Power.corrupts (talk) 11:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

notability question

MODx‎ discussion cont here because it is more about the awards.

Maybe my wikipedia argument is not the best but... you are saying Packt is a reliable source and one of the newer things the company does is an awards competition and if a product wins said award, in any place, they are notable. My thought is should the award/competition be notable, have significant, independent reliable sources. 16x9 (talk) 01:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that's absolutely necessary. The way I see it, the award, in itself, is a reliable source. Not only that, it's a particularly good one: it says that in the (reliable, professional) opinion of the award's authors, the product given the award is one of the best avaiable. My argument, basically, is that that is as good as two reliable sources just giving information about the product: it testifies to its importance, and importance is a component of notability. JulesH (talk) 09:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
I guess I disagree... If (notable) company X creates a new product it isn't inherently notable. 16x9 (talk) 18:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

You may want to double-check your information instead of going around and asking for stuff to be deleted unless you have the correct information.

Spam in Nokia Sports Tracker

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Nokia Sports Tracker, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Nokia Sports Tracker is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Nokia Sports Tracker, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 10:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Why

Why did you remove the endorsement I put up on Jack Jones (banker)? I find it strange that I express my agreement, and you remove my agreement. You may add your disagreement, if you so like, and remove the prod, but by what right do you touch my agreement with it? Perhaps it is something I do not understand? Debresser (talk) 18:56, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

{{prod-2}} should only be used on articles that are proposed for deletion via {{prod}}, but this article is being considered for deletion via WP:AFD, which is a separate process and doesn't use the prod-2 template. JulesH (talk) 21:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Stan Nicholls

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stan Nicholls, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Almost no references, and it has not been edited in almost half a year. If nobody wants to improve it, it needs to go.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Your DRV blanking

What was this about?  Sandstein  20:17, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Errr... dunno, I wasn't even trying to edit the section that got deleted. Some kind of screw up because I had the page open for quite a while, I guess. JulesH (talk) 20:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, looking at it in more detail, it seems that the Susan Boyle section was created _after_ I began editing the Unusual names section (which was shortly after 16:07, judging by where I was attempting to place my reply). Then I got called away from my computer; to ensure that there wasn't new content, I reloaded the edit page, and posted my reply. I guess when I reloaded it, the new content didn't replace the old in the edit box for some reason (possibly my browser trying to keep hold of changes to the edit box across the reload), leading to everything since I started the initial edit being deleted when I submitted my comment. JulesH (talk) 20:49, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
No problem, thanks for explaining! Best,  Sandstein  21:01, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Red Sonja

Filming did not begin. I looked for sources that it started in October 2008, and since I found none, I tagged the sentence as needing a citation. In addition, IMDb usually indicates if filming is taking place, but it only identifies it as being in pre-production as of November 2008, after filming supposedly started. I ask you to restore the proposed deletion template because it most definitely does not satisfy WP:NFF. —Erik (talkcontrib) 15:17, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I found one source that discussed previews of the film being shown in November 2008, which I've just linked on the talk page. That definitely implies filming at least started. JulesH (talk) 15:27, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Although, other sources seem to disagree. I'll revert as you suggest. JulesH (talk) 15:41, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Appreciate it. I think that the challenge with future films is that there's always some coverage about movement toward production, but very little about when that movement stops. Coverage of Logan's Run (2010 film) is left hanging, for example... —Erik (talkcontrib) 15:53, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome To England

Hey there! While I fully respect your consideration that this article's subject is bound to be notable at some point in time because of who it is sung by, that doesn't change the fact that right now it is not considered notable according to Misplaced Pages's notability criteria for songs. In fact, most songs are not considered notable unless they have been ranked on national or other significant music charts. Since you've removed the prod I'm taking the article to AfD, but I think you should take this into consideration when deciding whether or not a song is notable in the future. KhalfaniKhaldun 19:52, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Greenfinger

Hi. You were involved in the first deletion debate on this article. It seems like the second deletion debate on this was decided rather against consensus. Which would point more to a redirect/transwiki, as was decided in the first debate.

Soliciting your input

Hi. There's an attempt to bring the History of Spider-Man article, which needs enormous work, up to encyclopedic standards. You were among the editors in the deletion discussion, and it'd be good to get your input on, and edits to, the work-in-progress at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 04:58, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Additional comments needed

Following a month-long process of multiple editors to have "Fictional history of Spider-Man" conform to Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (writing about fiction), one editor has objected and wishes for the article, which has been the subject of three deletion discussions, to remain as is.
Alternately, the proposed new version appears at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox.
Your input, as an editor involved in the deletion discussion, is invited at Talk:Fictional history of Spider-Man#Rewrite and replacement. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of THOMAS (neuroscience) for deletion

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.--Rumping (talk) 09:37, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi! A request for your input

Per wp:CANVASSING, this is a neutrally worded notice being sent, without any type of "selection" bias, to everyone that edited fairly recently the MOS page about how to term the Latter Day Saints denominations on Misplaced Pages in the belief that your various and collective expertise or expertises, if that's a plural, can help us improve its wording, if possible. a bit. The most pertinent section is here. And the issue is to what degree the terms "Mormon church" and "LDS church" relate to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in specific, and to what kind of sourcing should be used to document this. Thanks, if you find time and the interest to look into the matter and offer your opinion or commentary.--Hodgson-Burnett's Secret Garden (talk) 23:09, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

Raphaël Onana

  • The brand of the book of Raphaël Onana "Un homme blindé à Bir-Hakeim" is....you can see this page : but there 's no english page for you ! Sorry !

His co-author, Patrice Etoundi-M'Balla , is a actually a journalist chronicles "Le Jour" For example to Marcel Pagnol, he write HIS autobiography TOO same Raphaël Onana !!! If you delete the Raphaël Onana page, you must delete the Marcel Pagnol page or the Richard Wright (author) page, or others autobiographies !! No, no, no !??

In Cameroon, it is not a rich country... So the african writers with his more 3 or 10 books, is very very rare !

Hi there! You may remember the deletion discussion for "Coal Miners in Hindi Fiction", in which there seemed to be a consensus that a broader article topic of "Mining in pop culture" would be notable and worth creating.

Speedy deletion nomination of RS Components

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on RS Components, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
