Alternatives to speedy

Thanks for the note. Points taken, but I'm not getting articles written that I'd like to write because I'm forever trying to "save" bad articles. (For example, I spent roughly 7 hours working on Billy Brandt yesterday because the article lacked any substantial references and most likely was in danger of being nominated for deletion.) The only reason I knew about these short "less-than-stubs" (in my opinion) articles was that they were being wikilinked to pages that I monitor fairly closely (although I found a few other edits that needed to be made when I was reverting the links). Regardless of the potential for the article, nothing that short should be posted in the namespace, that's what sandboxes are for. This just encourages the "shotgun" method of article creation: start a bunch of stubs and then never do any further work on them, leave all the research to someone else. I don't think that's right. I see that some of the speedy nom's were deleted, some nominated for deletion. If the administrator reviewing the speedy tag disagrees with my placing it, they have the authority to change the tag. Thanks.—Chidom   18:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Las películas de mi vida

I received your message. I'm busy right now, so it might be a few days, but I will begin soon. I'll include a synopsis, a section on themes, and a section on reviews with footnotes. Havardj Jack 21:55, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Jennifer Tinney

Just to let you know, here are some links to deletion logs for her pages, there has been a user (who is currently banned) who keeps adding info and copyrighted pictures of WWE Diva Search contestants.

• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special:Log&page=J.T%20Tinney
• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=J.T.+Tinney
• http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=&page=Jennifer+Tinney

And many times, they have been deleted, so this page should not only be deleted, but protected from recreation. I hope you understand why I am putting the tag up and will put a different one up shortly. Renosecond 03:17, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't think she really has a lot of notability just yet, she was a contestant for a few weeks on the WWE Diva Search but that's just a hard sell. Actually, a few of the other contestants have had pages speedied and then be protected from recreation. And the user who keeps creating the pages does them at a poor quality and is quite stubborn and incomprehensible. And this user is also currently under a block for ignoring warnings about photos.

Theodore Hanulak

Hi: I put the non-noteable delete tag on the Theodore Hanulak page. I'm fine either way but the Aikido Journal entry you put in is a profile that members put up of themselves and of course the other is his dojo website. Lots of people in the world, myself included, run dojos. Quite a few found their own styles for marketing purposes and join like minded groups. Again - I'll leave it alone but in my opinion running a dojo is not noteable. Cheers.Peter Rehse 03:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)PS. I did some further checking and there has been discussion on e-budo (a martial art forum) among quite well known martial artists questioning the background.

Marion Cohen

She's back. You were right there is a claim to notability there. Got to stop the speedy deletes when I'm tired. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:36, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Johannes Mannov

Hi. What I was mainly put off by was that it seemed to be created by the person himself. Also, the Google output was very sparse with useful links. But I agree with the keep as it is. Cheers, Hestemand 08:42, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Julie Gould

In reference to your edit "(removed CSD. Notable.)" - the CSD was for a blatant copyvio, not on the basis of notability. That's why I used "db-copyvio" not "db-bio". We still have copyright violations in the article history, it would've been better for the article to have been deleted and started from scratch. exolon 10:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you. My worry was that the article might be deleted without someone starting over. Perhaps I should have renamed the copyvio file to a name like User:TruthbringerToronto/BadFileDeleteThis (and then ask for that file to be deleted) and then edited the redirect file that moving would have created at Julie Gould. I'm not an admin, so I couldn't delete the bad file myself and then start over. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 10:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your action on Cyprus. In this case I cannot take action against vandalism since I am the creator of the pages. Therefore it is inappropriate to use my adminship in this case. But if you can act, it would please me. Electionworld Talk? 10:59, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

• I am not an admin. See my unsuccessful bid at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/TruthbringerToronto. But other admins would probably be willing to take action. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 11:07, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Julie Gould

Hi, just a minor point... when you rewrite a copyvio article (thanks, by the way) we still need to remove the copyvio versions from the page history. Any admin will be able to do this if asked (I've already done it in this case) but it's still important that it gets done. Thanks. --W.marsh 20:22, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

AfD

Have you ever, in your entire life, voted to delete anything? This is simply ludicrous. -- Kicking222 12:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Yes. -- TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 17:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination: Marion Cohen

I'm relisting this on procedural grounds as the original AfD was closed early. Espresso Addict 03:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Updated Mario Cohen article

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for your updates to the Marion Cohen article. Based on your updates, I've changed my opinion from delete to keep. Nice work. Brian 19:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)btball

Re: Copyvios

Done. --W.marsh 22:43, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Rise Records

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I sent a message to the user who proposed it for deletion and have since added to the article. Although the article is small (and I agree lacking), the subject is large enough to deserve an article and I will work to bring it up to Misplaced Pages standards.

Kayah (singer)

Thank you for saving the stub on Kayah, the Polish singer, from deletion (I'm new to creating pages). However, it looks like someone with more authority than me has erased the additon I made to the Kayah disambiguation page for her. Do you think it would be okay to add it back to that page? Or is it better if you did it as I am fairly new. Thanks. Banzaiboy 07:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

• I fixed it. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 18:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
