Deletion of the Jeannie Deva page

Hi there! I realize my publication of the page was too hasty and I didn't make the text original enough, nor did I add enough varied sources. I sincerely apologize. I did do a lot of research though and spent a lot of time building the page so I wouldn't want it to go completely to waste. Would it be possible to retrograde the page back to a community draft? I'm not sure if that's possible on Misplaced Pages so I was wondering if you could help me out. Cheers. CanadianRocky69 (talk) 15:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Replied on user talk page, poorly sourced copyright violation Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:35, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Deleting Draft Pages of Notable Individuals

You hastily made assumptions on my notable person qualifying draft that was properly initiated using conflict of interest statement. Please restore to draft asap as this is not completed and numerous citations of reliable news sources and independent citations will be made prior to submission. Thanks. Mark D. Hulett (talk) 15:17, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

replied on user talk page, unreferenced self-promo, no evidence of notability, just spamlinks Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:42, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of User page User:Wrigson

Not sure why the page was deleted. I was following advice from Misplaced Pages help article Misplaced Pages:User page design guide/About you

Please advise

Wrigson yes, perhaps I was a bit hasty, I'll restore and just remove the external link Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:22, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. One quick question. What is the restriction regarding external references? Wrigson (talk) 19:39, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Wrigson on a user page, external links tend to look promotional Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:46, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion of Draft Gael Rakotondrabe English translation user:ALTWIKI23

Hey, on the 11th of October you deleted my translation draft French to English for Gael Rakotondrabe's wiki page. I do not understand why since I translated almost word per word the existing French text, and included all the references. I thought this draft should be uploaded as a translation for Gael Rakotondrabe's existing French page, since he worked mostly within English-speaking environments. How can this draft be uploaded, and what should I change for it to be accepted as a translation?

ALTWIKI23 (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

ALTWIKI23, not sure what you are asking me. Draft:Gael Rakotondrabe exists, I just moved it from the incorrect article title User:ALTWIKI23/Gael Rakotondrabe, which I then deleted as pointless. Look at your contributions tab Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

alright thanks, I am still confused with the workflow of wikipedia. Do you know a way to publish it as a translation to the French wiki page of Gael Rakotondrabee? As a none-experienced editor I do not have the possibility to do so.

Thanks for any help. ALTWIKI23 (talk) 13:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

ALTWIKI23 When you are ready, clip the blue corner of the AFC box. Before you do that, you need to make sure all text is cited (discography doean't need refs) and clean up the refs, some of which are a mess. You also need to add {{Translated page|fr|Gael Rakotondrabe}} to the talk page and save Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:47, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

ALTWIKI23 the problematic refs left (I fixed a couple) are using French Misplaced Pages templates, don't work here Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:56, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion entry Gebhard Schertler

Dear @Jimfbleak:, I noticed you deleted my entry of the austrian scientist Gebhard Schertler. I disclosed that the entry was paid and on his behalf. The deletion note says "supposed sources entirely his own papers, other "facts" mostly unreferenced to RS." Do I get this right that such an entry needs more independent sources apart from himself and his employing research institute? However, how should I quote scientific papers that he has now written himself as the entry is about his work? Thanks J. Berndorff (talk) 10:38, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Replied on user talk page, promotional tone and virtually no independent third-part sources. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:32, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Patrickwatsondev, new to Misplaced Pages here. Hi there, where was I too promotional? I received a COI flag? Is this about my recent edits to cornus obliqua or my submitted article for the cloud provider I use? I also want to clarify I have never been paid to write anything for Misplaced Pages and haven't worked with AerisWeather's products in long enough/have a net-negative enough relationship with those folks' customer service that I definitely would consider that the opposite of a conflict of interest - I've remained wholly committed to the truth. 13:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Deletion entry Lou-Marié Kruger

Hi, you deleted my entry on the psychologist and author Lou-Marié Kruger. While I do cite her own work I do also cite independent articles on her and her book. Could you please reverse the deletion and allow me to edit accordingly. I think a deletion in this regard is slightly hasty, please allow for revision. (your note: "G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: self written vanity page, see WP:COI, WP:RS, WP:Notability (people), supposed independent sources are mainly her own papers.")

Thanks.

Draft:Women's Hub For Safety

Hello Jimfbleak -- I declined this a minute before you deleted it. It doesn't stand much chance of leaving draftspace, but it doesn't seem to me to meet G11. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 15:34, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Espresso Addict I missed that, restored now, apologies Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:37, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

SwitchBot

Hi, a couple of weeks ago you G11'd SwitchBot. Would you be able and willing to check and let me know who created that, please? It has been created again, and my spidey sense is tingling a bit so I'm trying to find out if they're somehow connected. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:11, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
