Souguide Deletion

Hello Jim, We were in the process of creating an unbiased and "non-advertisting" wiki page for Souguide and were notified that you had deleted the page because of "CSD A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)." Souguide is the first location-based social networking service created in Hong Kong serving the local market. It is the first app that offers UI in both English and traditional Chinese characters so that users from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China can use the service in their native language. If similar services such as Skout, Talkbox Voice Messanger (talkboxapp) and WhatsApp can exist as their independent pages on Wiki, can you let us know why Souguide is "less important" than its peers? As a pioneer in this field of service in South East Asia, I do not think its significance is any less than its bigger-famed peers that are more commercially driven. Please let us know your thoughts. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks. Key View (talk) 9:21, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Steiner House

You deleted Steiner House while I was in the process of editing it. Your rationale was that the article did not make a credible assertion of notability. This is a building designed by a major Austrian architect (Adolf Loos) that was supported by citations in at least three different publications that provided analysis of the design. That sounds notable to me. I have cleaned up the article and properly formatted the references. Can you undelete the page so that my edits then appear as a modification to the original authors, for proper attribution? WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 12:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Jimfbleak. I have since restored the page through WP:UND since the case seemed clear enough. Feel free, however, to undo any of my actions. Cheers mate, Arbitrarily0  14:47, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

معايير استخدام المصادر الالكترونية

This page was probably deleted by you. I just wanted to inform that User talk:Yyousef, Not only this user who was author of the deleted page, recreated it, but also removed the CSD tag in the recreated article. Please do whatever is needed. Thank you! Yasht101 :) 17:19, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Re:arabic

Thanks for your reply. I know that the bot will automatically restore the CSD tag. And I have seen many similar cases in which, the author completly writes in non-en language. They want to contribute but are not aware of the fact that this is en-wiki not arabic-wiki. Anyways, keep up the good work and Happy editing! Yasht101 :) 02:47, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Fabrizio Grossi

Dear Jim, you deleted the page Fabrizio Grossi because you guys said it was a promotion attempt and not verifiable. We have a brand new page that has plenty of links and references to claims and credits and list of works listed on the article , but before posting it, we wanted to make sure it was in tune with your standards. Can you please let us know? you can view the page at User:Soundsofpisces/Fabrizio Grossi. Thank you very much.) ]

Araçari

- I went to the talk pages first to propose the change, and nobody objected.

- In linguistic terms, the spelling should indeed be araçari in order to yield the correct pronunciation /arasari/.

- Aracari is linguistically non-standard spelling in English, since it yields the incorrect pronunciation /arakari/.

- In order for people to be able to pronounce a word correctly, they need to have the information that makes that possible.

- Araçari is not Spanish. In Spanish the spelling is Arasarí.

- Garrigues and Dean use the spelling with the cedilla.

- I checked the purple project box before making any change. The title there is araçari. That led me to believe that it was inability to type accents rather than policy that had led to the spelling without the accent in the articles in question.

- An assumption of good faith on my part, and talking to me before simply reverting would have been nice.

- Façade (and café, and mañana, etc.): my point exactly. When necessary, the diacritics of loanwords are retained. .

- I understood GF perfectly well. Calling an edit GF and treating it as being in good faith are not the same thing. By the same token, I see you’ve simply reverted my suggestion from the talk pages rather than responding to it. Not good form.

- As far as consistency is concerned, the Toucans, Toucanets and Araçaris project is itself inconsistent: the project title uses the spelling with the cedilla, individual articles don’t.

- In the absence of consensus and consistency, it is more logical to standardise the more functional spelling rather than the less functional. I was certainly planning on making the change throughout if I hadn’t run into the redirect problem, and been reverted before I had time to find out how to deal with it.

Michael Stevens

Your hasty deletion on the grounds that the article was "Unambiguous advertising or promotion: unsourced biography of a living person" was patently a mistake.

The multiple cited references in the article included major respected sources such as the Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, the New York Daily News, the official websites of the Kennedy Center, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (confirming the multiple Emmy awards) and HBO. The subject of the article is also clearly notable by all Misplaced Pages standards for BLP.

Given the above, I would appreciate you reinstating the article immediately. Thank you Davidpatrick (talk) 18:54, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
