Jawa Technique

Please could you lift the speedy deletion on my article? I will follow any guideline you deem fit to make my article suitable. I would very much appreciate feedback on how I could improve my referencing. Tomorrow morning (it is late now) I can have many people confirm the accuracy of this article who are not the subject of it. My article was tagged for speedy deletion while I was in the process of adding references. Peteohearn (talk) 07:33, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I lifted it since I moved it to your userspace. You can take as much time as you need now to flesh it out and add references before moving it back into articlespace. Next time, it would be better to add your references -before- publishing the article. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 07:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Got ya, references first. Thank you. So, I don't have to worry about the big, red warning on the "Jawa Technique" page at the moment? Peteohearn (talk) 07:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

That's just talking about the redirect from articlespace to the page that you're working on now. Even if that redirect gets deleted, your article will still be safe, and you can continue to edit it. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 07:54, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Re:Deletion. Yes Im sorry this was my first page and I dont want to mess it up so please just delete it if it is not right. I did it as I like his work here and see him at shows and just took stuff off his websites, not the most computer savvy ;-( A quick deletion would be best then. I was going to do similar articles on other notable artists in my hometown but after reading more info about 'notability' Ill leave it alone. Thanks Artfan21 —Preceding undated comment added 22:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC).

Fair enough. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 04:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging

Hi Simon-in-sagamihara, just FYI, when you mark a page for speedy deletion, as you did with Syed Umair Javed and Vincent kalina, could you please leave an appropriate Edit summary and notify the page creator about it? If you use a tool like Twinkle it'll do both automatically. Thanks—  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep, no problem. Another admin admonished me about that, I think those two articles you mentioned are from before that. I haven't used any of the tools before but I'll give that one your mentioned a try tonight. Thanks for the heads-up. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 07:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate it. For one thing, I think you'll find that notifying authors will actually reduce how often they remove speedy tags; if a strange tag shows up with no explanation people are more inclined to just delete it. Twinkle is easy to use, doesn't require downloading anything, and does a good job 95% of the time (sometimes it craps out halfway through applying a tag). Happy hunting—  Glenfarclas  (talk) 07:41, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Fremont Speedway

Could you please give me some feedback on the Fremont Speedway article so I can improve it. You said there is a ton wrong with it and you marked it as advertising, but I don't see how it is any different than the Eldora Speedway article or Knoxville Raceway article. It is simply providing information and a short paraphrased history of Fremont Speedway like these other track articles are. Thanks. Ohiosprint (talk) 04:14, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your question, I appreciate it. Have a look at the scale of events and the notability of the people that are involved in the Eldora article, and the sites which reference it, then compare it to Fremont. Your phrasing is not encyclopaedic and the list of drivers has way too much detail to be considered relevant to the speedway article. I still think it's PROD-worthy, but you may want to cut it down to the bare facts, find pages OTHER than the speedway's own web site that mention it, and build up from there. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 04:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Ok, thank you very much for the feedback. I will change my phrasing, find more pages other that the speedway's official site, remove the historical information detailing why each driver was inducted into the hall of fame, and work from there. Sorry for botching it up, this was my first article. Thanks again for the help. Ohiosprint (talk) 04:35, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I've removed the PROD while you work on it. Have fun :) Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 04:37, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Nelson Shanks

I have declined the Speedy Nomination for the above article. A quick search on Google News Archive gave 370 hits about him, Google Books have 173 hits (some of books by him, but most not) and Google Scholar has 24 hits.

I feel that there is probably enough evidence in some of these sources to show notability, and that the article needs to be expanded rather than deleted.

If you feel this is incorrect, you are welcome to Propose it for deletion or list it at Articles for discussion.

PROD removed from Mankri

I have removed the dated {{prod}} tag from Mankri and marked the page as a stub. Per WP:Deletion policy, editing to improve a deficient article is considered preferable to deletion. Cnilep (talk) 17:01, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Fastest finger in the West.  :)

Just saw it pop up again on the new pages page. Hopefully, he'll get the message. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 03:57, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion too speedy!

You might want to give people more than 3 minutes to create an entire article before you tag it for deletion, crazy! Nick carson (talk) 09:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

And you might want to create your article in userspace before filling it with appropriate references and moving it to articlespace, newbie! Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 09:45, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome message. But what you did was indeed provocative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PomeloSago (talk • contribs) 09:56, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Bad newbie

Bad newbie? I have over 7000 edits going back two years. You've got your eye on me? I've got my eye on you - if that's how you are greeting new editors, you are a meance and a danger to the project. I'll be watching. --Cameron Scott (talk) 12:49, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
