Hey. I just got your message on songs pages, and I'm awfully sorry. I have been using Google to find references to these songs, but in news, I have to be a subscriber, and I don't have that kind of money. I do not even own a credit card.

== Michelle Leonard ==
Hi. You recently argued for the deletion of ], initially on the grounds of being a hoax and then on the grounds that she is not notable. Since then, the page has been considerably re-written. She is demonstrably not a hoax and, I believe, there is now ample evidence of notability, so I thought you might want to re-consider your position in the deletion discussion. ] (]) 18:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

== ] ==

I hadn't noticed that it was the creator's only contribution, whoops. The reason I didn't tag it for speedy is a) the length of time it had been around and b) that someone had apparently looked at it in April 07 and thought the issue was unclear notability, not hoax so I wasn't sure what to do.

== ] ==
Hey I saw your comment for deletion. You say it has no "verifiable info" but all the tracks listed are songs confirmed by Albert himself in magazines and articles. I don't see how that's not verifiable. Even though the album is titleless, there are many articles like this all along wikipedia. I'm not saying this is right, but since there is nothing saying articles about upcoming albums without titles are banned, this should be a problem. Plus, ALbert has finished the album, and the title is sure to come soon. Then, the album page'll just be redirected and everyone will be happy again. So I implore you to keep the page. 23:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Since you ], and I figured you could use a good laugh, you might take a peek at the ] page. You might be named in the lawsuit for voting delete, after all :) ] (]) 23:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== "Crediting source" ==

Hi TenPoundHammer! Thanks for "" that I was the one transcluding ]... but I was deliberately leaving my name off it. I'm the poor chump who clears ], nudging new editors in the right direction, solving coding snarl-ups and generally putting things right where I can. Misplaced Pages being a place where no good deed goes unpunished, when I do that and clearly mark I'm doing it, I still get with the deletion rationale and I still get all of the flack and none of the glory. So now I plan to not say anything. With a little shake of ] over my actions, this may make sense. And this is why I'm reverting you. ➔ ''']''' has changed his plea to guilty 08:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

==Song Redirects==
Hit songs should be standalone articles, because they have sometimes been recorded by multiple artists. Redirects to one particular artist is not appropriate. Wiki lookups for song information/details are not informative if redirect effectively removes the song details and sends lookups to an artist.] (]) 23:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

==Song Redirects (the bigger picture)==
Why redirect a song to an artist or an album when songs have a life of their own often recorded by multiple artists? By example, look at the article on Burt Bacharach and several of his songs. Specifically you might look at "Baby It's You". The song is an article itself. By redirecting the song, you basically delete ALL other information about the song. The life of a song certainly has more dimensions than one recording. They are placed in films, used in TV shows, recorded by multiple artists, and win awards in their own right. A song like "If I Was A Drinkin' Man" has all the information related to the song in it's own article includine information on the songwriters, when it charted, the Awards it has won, etc. Once you redirect it to ONE particular album, or artist like Neal McCoy, it diminishes the song as an article,a nd wipes out all the researchable details. You asked me "What do you want me to do...", and I think the best answer is "nothing", because the song article already links to Neal McCoy without a redirect that wipes the song out. A researcher looking for information on the song "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" doesn't necessarily want to be redirected to Neal McCoy.] (]) 12:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

==Song Redirects (more thought)==
I think what has come to light here is that we have "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" (the song) and "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" (the Neal McCoy recording). The song should not be redirected to Neal McCoy, but the recording should be. In the interest of preserving for researchers the songwriter and award information on the song, the song should be a standalone article.] (]) 12:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

I tacked it to an existing debate? Whoops. Sorry about that; I'll remember to preview it in the future. Thanks for letting me know. ]]<sup><font color="#008000">X</font></sup> 01:02, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

I guess I otter thank you for the award. (Ummm...it's too late to take it back, right?) ] (]) 04:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

==Pyong==
Why did you mark Pyong for speedy deletion? It was an article about a very famous emoticon, one of which many people know about and it would be good to have a source to explain it's origin and creation. It was still in the process of being written and you delete it.

I was still in the process of adding reliable sources when you deleted it, I tried to update them and the page was already gone, I created the page like 5 minutes ago and then it was gone, you should have given me time...

== thanks for completing afd ==

i must have been caught out by the conflict thing when trying to list Intellectual dishonesty. Thanks for fixing it. ] (]) 21:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

== Pyong ==

Yes, but if you keep requesting it be deleted, how can other people add their sources to the site and information they know that can make it notable. I may not know everything, but other people do, like I said. How will they be able to add it to a non-existent page?
The Blogs come from respected people, and the single source that linked a forum was to prove the point that it was common. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Misplaced Pages's Five pillars state:
"Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia written for the benefit of its readers." This does not look like you are trying to benefit the readers. That is all I wanted to do, I did not want a big fight over something this simple.

"perfection is not required." It is not perfect now, but if you give it time. That would be why I labeled the article with an under construction sign which also states that you should give the article a few days before it is requested for deletion. Not 5 minutes.

] (]) 22:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The reason I added it to this site is because it took me over 3 months to find the source of Pyong. Plenty of people used it. But not one could tell me where they found it because the creator is barley ever citied. This is why I created the page, so people do not need to search for months something can I can bring to their attention with a simple search. <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 22:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== An admirer of your work on AfD ==

Hi TenPoundHammer,
I just wanted to write a note to introduce myself and say hello, I've seen your tag quite a bit on AfD and your comments always seem sane and thoughtful. Also I like your name. At any rate, I've been perusing AfD lately because I recently created a wiki, , as a place to host biographical articles that do not impose a notability requirement. I'd noticed that quite a few people put up bios on Misplaced Pages only to have them taken down, so obviously it seemed that there might be a need for this sort of thing. (I understand why Misplaced Pages cannot allow WP:BIO-violating articles, and whether Wikipopuli will be able to survive in the face of potential problems remains to be seen). What I'm doing right now is putting notes on user talk pages of people who have created articles that are under deletion review for WP:BIO, letting them know that there's an alternative home for their material in case it gets booted. I've written to some of the other editors who are active in AfD, telling them about the site and inviting their input -- I want to be sure I'm seen as offering people something useful, and not spamming them. I'd certainly welcome your input as well. Thanks, ] (]) 02:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
