Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:53, 8 March 2008

I will generally reply here to messages left here. If I think that you may perhaps be new to wiki, it's likely that I'll cross-post my reply to your userspace as well, since that will trigger the orange "messages" bar. I want to do as much as possible to see that you get the message. Please pardon the inconvenience of having it appear in two different places.

Archives: User:Philippe/Archive, User:Philippe/Archive2

Notability Concerns

You recently deleted a small page of mine about Frank Stabley. It was clearly labeled by a bot for speedy deletion, upon which I added a hold tag and immediately provided a response on the discussion page. As per the clearly dilineated policies of wikipedia, I made case for the notability of the article. I do not understand why it was necessary to delete it; it was unfinished, and furthermore biographical. Misplaced Pages policy clearly states that notability is not under policy as criteria for speedy deletion of biographical pages. Whiteknight521 (talk) 08:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

A biographical page can be deleted for a lack of notability (see WP:BIO for more information). In this case, the page failed to assert notability, and provided no secondary sources to demonstrate notability. I stand by the deletion. However, I'd be happy to undelete the page and move it into your userspace so that you could continue work on it, if you'd like. - Philippe | Talk 13:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

From bberg

From: bberg (bberg009@yahoo.com) Why did you delete the web page I wrote despite the hangon tag. you did not even bother to read the page?

Hi Philippe,

You deleted the page "Dr. Bjarne Berg", one of the world's leading experts on Business Intelligence and Data warehousing Despite a 'hand-on tag'. How can this not be notable? - Please restore.. bberg009

Hi bberg: Yes, I read the page. This page failed to demonstrate notability through secondary sources as defined at WP:BIO. I'd be pleased to restore the page to your userspace so that you could continue to work on it, if you'd like. - Philippe | Talk 13:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

JFBurton

I would like to draw your attention to this edit where he changes this perfectly fine working link to this completely non-existent site for no reason. Thanks. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 16:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll ask about it. - Philippe | Talk 18:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. And in case you missed this particular incident during the original blocking discussion, it's worth looking at to see what you're up against. This edit was made by his sockpuppet changing G. Jeff Olsen's name to "Tim Burton" and his birthplace and country of residence from America to the UK. The page was then moved to match, before moving it to Jeff Olson. A couple of months later JFBurton then decided to move it back to Tim Burton, and removed his real name completely. An hour later he then amended his userpage claiming the man was his father...good luck, you'll need it! One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 22:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yep, I've seen that. I'm choosing to take him at his word that he wishes to contribute, but I'll be the very first one to block if I see abusive editing, and I think he knows that. - Philippe | Talk 22:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Ecuhek

Hi, I'm not really sure why my article (Warwick JIsoc) was deleted. It seemed like it was on grounds of notability but I have found loads of others of a similar calibre. For example, ]], ] etc If it is on grounds of comprehensiveness or structure, I wasn't finished, I simply hit 'save page' rather than 'show preview' by mistake like the person below me. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch --Ecuhek (talk) 20:12, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

The article was deleted because of a lack of notability, as established through reliable sources. I'd be happy to restore it to your userspace so that you could continue to work on it, if you'd like, but until notability can be demonstrated, it's probably unlikely to survive in the main encyclopedia... - Philippe | Talk 22:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

WyvernRail PLC Closure

Sorry for the belated reply (i've been ultra-busy), but may I ask why is this a KEEP? The consensus was to Merge and Redirect?

No offence, but this is kinda stupid, and I ask you to rethink your decision. In the meantime, I have added a merge tag to the article.

RE Civility: I will admit I MAY have been a little uncivil, but I was being wound up be the other user - please have a word with the other user also.

I was also annoyed at the time as the publicity manager of Wyvern was also making several personal attacks against me. These have still to be resolved.

Thank you in anticipation,
