It's an article I meant to get to featured myself. So I'm happy to claw out some time to help write and pick over it.

He's been warned by experienced user {{u|Jim1138}} and I've followed that up with what I hope is a gently phrased comment that nevertheless makes it clear that I'll block his account if necessary.

Hi Jim, I just created a new page. I am new to wikipedia, so I admit that something could have gone wrong. I saw you just deleted the page I created. It took me a bit of time to put it together as I'm not a native english speaker. Could you reasonably explain me why you deleted a page from an existing record label that helps new emerging acts? Noise Praise records is a London-based independent record label, active since 2012. We are planning to release our 8th EP by the end of the year. For the last 5 years we've been involved in scheduling events in cinemas all over London and Antwerp, The Caulfield Beats' music have been premiered on Dazed and Confused and Boiler Room.. Is that not enough for having a wiki page? What should we do then? I reckon that some suggestions on the content of my page might be necessary, but to remove the page is extremely unfair and denotes a lack of investigation (I put links on the page you deleted, if you just clicked on one of the links, you could have discovered that a website really exists). Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks a lot. Best regards. ] (]) 08:56, 22 October 2016 (UTC) | |||

== Request for Review of Deletion of Lindholm Misplaced Pages Page == | |||
Hi Jimfbleak, | |||
Thanks for your review on my recently created page for Mr. Lindholm. Mr. Lindholm is a friend and I will disclose that COI moving forwards. Before I request recovery for the draft, I have some questions. | |||
Would you be able to provide some clarification on why the page was deleted for ]'':'' ]? Mr. Lindholm is still alive and the purpose of the article is to provide additional context and information behind the development of graphic processing units, in particular the GeForce 256 hardware T&L and GeForce 3 shader units, as these technological advancements were key to modern GPUs. I included numerous citations and kept the tone of the article objective to avoid bias. Would you be able to let me know which sections were not objective and require updates or edits? | |||
Your help is much appreciated as I'd like to ensure that any future article on Mr. Lindholm is compliant with Misplaced Pages policies. | |||

Thanks for your review on my recently created page for Guanghua Li. | |||

Would you be able to provide some clarification on why the page was deleted for U5: Misuse of Misplaced Pages as a web host? Mr. Lindholm is still alive and the purpose of the article is to provide additional context and information behind the development of graphic processing units, in particular the GeForce 256 hardware T&L and GeForce 3 shader units, as these technological advancements were key to modern GPUs.
