Rather than keep changing this item, why not explain why you think you are right, plus a reference. It's really not on to criticise web refs when you yourself have provided none! I've checked with the Walter Laird ref, and with the ISTD's Revised technique of Latin American Dancing, and neither gives any historical information. So it's up to you, I think, to provide some evidence to support your version of his name. Macdonald-ross (talk) 18:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Pyrexiophobia

Hi. Your edit summary did not give an explanation for its sudden deletion. Therefore, I must ask, why was it deleted? --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:49, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Nonsesne? It picks up some 15k ghits. Some more here. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 04:59, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I find it hard to believe that its 15k ghits of nonsense (it might then be notable as a hoax). How about if I put it for an afd and link the afd to the phobia talk page so that we can be sure that it's nonsense? A deletion through an afd would also have the advantage of making it speedy deletion eligible as a g3. This would prevent nags like me from visiting your talk page. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear about all the problems regarding this issue. But I think the extent of this so-called phobia in the internet and in publications requires that there be some sort of discussion prior to its deletion. So I'm going to recreate the article and then put it right up for afd. I hope that its agreeable with you. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:22, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 05:33, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of fears

Greetings Mikkalai!
I'm aware that you have suddenly deleted pithikosophobia, phasmophobia (now re-created), papaphobia, nomatophobia, cymophobia, amaxophobia and podophobia without providing any rational or warning. Without any information about why these articles were deleted, I will assume that their deletion was in error, and may re-create them. Thank you for your time - αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ 11:25, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Deleting articles outright without proper discussion, and without even providing an edit summary? Punkmorten (talk) 15:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, see here. αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ 20:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to fill wikipedia with garbage. `'Míkka>t 22:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, how is it "garbage"? It's a perfectly well-written, well sourced article. You cannot go deleting articles just because you don't like them. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 16:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Please restore them all. None of them met the Speedy Deletion criteria. Thank you. -- How do you turn this on (talk) 16:41, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for restoring these pages, Mikkalai. I appreciate it, αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ 22:07, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Another deletions

Dear Mikkalai,

Recently you did a few baseless deletions in Graph isomorphism page (for example the link to SMILES page). Also I see, not long ago you made a lot of deletions from another pages, where I am not specialist. Sorry but it looks very strange for me, that you are expert in psychology, in graph theory, in chemistry, in Russian jokes as well as in many other areas. Anyhow, baseless deletions is very distructive for Wiki.--Tim32 (talk) 15:17, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Regarding deletions

Can I please get an assurance that you are not going to spontaneously delete any more articles, that are not subject to the speedy deletion criteria, without discussion? I find it extremely worrying that you have been deleting articles without reason for over two years simply because you think they are "garbage". ~ User:Ameliorate! 13:11, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid I must reiterate the same worry as Ameliorate. Is it possible that you could use better deletion summaries? — neuro 18:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I have no problems with restoring them if there are objections. If no objections, then I was probably right. `'Míkka>t 01:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

That isn't how Misplaced Pages works; we don't delete articles to see if there are objections, we delete articles because there are objections. ~ User:Ameliorate! 04:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

WP:IAR ? Taemyr (talk) 05:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

IAR is for actions that help the encyclopedia and deleting perfectly good articles to push your own point of view is not helping the project. ~ User:Ameliorate! 05:56, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

If you claim that Papaphobia is a prefectly good article then you have a weird sense of humor. Anyway, as I said, I restored it, have fun. BTW there is nothing wrong with pushing my own point of view. In case you didn't notice, you are doing the same. People without point of view are dangerous. `'Míkka>t 18:55, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
