Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 19:47, 24 June 2011

An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor won't actually make any effort to fix it, but can rest assured that they've done their encyclopedic duty by sticking on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about.

Hey Hobit, you and I haven't always got along too well I think, and I once lost my cool in a brief discussion with you. I really appreciate you not holding that against me. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 20:57, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!!!

Dear Hobit - I really want to appreciate your time and effort in analyzing my First Article "Jeeva Artist". First I want to apologize for the inconvenience caused by me. Next the reason I saved it without complete details was - As you know - In India Power Cut is a common issue. I don't have backup. So I want to make sure the start stays there. Once again Thanks. Take care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pvrmagesh (talk • contribs) 19:02, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

DRV Slammiversary IX

RE. Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2011 May 27, probability of this being notable in a few weeks

Yes, we're not a bureaucracy. However, many many times, articles about future pay-per-view wrestling articles have been created, way ahead of the event itself - whilst they are not notable. So, we end up 'advertising' for them.

I can quite understand the attitude that, yep, it'll be notable in some weeks.

But this happens again, and again, and again.

Examples: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Over the Limit (2011), Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/WWE Capitol Punishment. There's lots more. See also ANI archive.

A large number of fans, related to the wiki project, turn up to blindly vote to 'keep' them.

I also ask you to please skim down the user talk page of the person who created "Slammiversary IX", which is User talk:Supermhj8616.

Now - maybe I should just give up on this; I probably will, soon. Because, it seems due process is just being abused. But I hope this message at least explains to you why I took it to DRV in the first place.

Frankly, your comment there seems to be saying "OK, it should have been deleted (according to policies), but because it wasn't, and because it will be notable in some weeks, it's not worth bothering". I can understand that. The trouble is, the precedent it sets.

I hope that makes sense. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  05:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Hobit. Thanks for the RfA support, and for the thought-provoking questions. I'm curious to know where we disagree on 6b, what were your thoughts on that? 28bytes (talk) 18:23, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Just an FYI, I've added what I believe is relevant info in a matter you commented on at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Bill_Slavicsek--Cube lurker (talk) 02:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you

Hobit, I'm quite thankful to you for your statements about the recently created attack essay that was made about me. Your views regarding the inappropriate use of essay space as an attack on an editor, is most appreciated. — Cirt (talk) 19:47, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
