User:TheListUpdater/The Shops at Ithaca Mall

What do you want done here, exactly? A history merge to The Shops at Ithaca Mall, I assume, but it's a bit unclear from the tag you used. --W.marsh 02:22, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and did a history merge, but at any rate the redirect is gone now. --W.marsh 02:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism / Good Time (album)

Hi. Thanks for reverting that user page vandalism, evidently he didn't enjoy the fact that I warned him for offensive comments/trolling on Talk:Muhammad! Also, as per your message regarding the AfD, I have struck out my vote so that you can close the discussion now; I agree that the article in its improved state isn't really deletion-worthy.

IP listings

Don't you know that listing your IP Adresses on the web (in this case Misplaced Pages) is bad. Because what if someone trys to hack your computer, and send infectious viruses, trojans, and many other stuff. Do you really wan't that to happen?. Mythdon (talk) 23:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Question

Sorry for asking, but may I ask what a snowball delete is? Thanks! Gammonwave (talk) 02:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 24 January, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Baker & Myers, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I've seen you around a lot on AFD, just wanted to comment that I like your straightforward, sensible reasoning on AFDs, Good work (overall) -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 23:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

RE: Songs pages

Hey. I just got your message on songs pages, and I'm awfully sorry. I have been using Google to find references to these songs, but in news, I have to be a subscriber, and I don't have that kind of money. I do not even own a credit card. I don't create pages for songs until they have reached the Top 40, and I will try to provide plenty of links and references to the song from now on. --Martin4647 (talk) 01:56, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

AFD

I need help on putting an AFD nomination up for a second time. It's B.A.D (thas the band name) It was listed a year ago and was not deleted, but it has not been improved so it needs to be deleted.Metal Head (talk) 02:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

You could list for AFD, but I can't see it being deleted. B.A.D are notable per WP:MUSIC, and voters will have easy access to the last discussion. You would only get struck down for AFD'ing an article that needs improvement... my $00.02 -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 02:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
hmmm, I suppose if you could discredit the sources it could be done... If they were of a "trivial" nature, or otherwise unadmissible? -- Ļıßζېấשּׂ~ۘ Ώƒ ﻚĢęخ (talk) 02:22, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I just wanted to stop by to refer you to the AfD. Pandacomics (talk) 05:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Twinkle

I don't know if you use Twinkle, but I don't think that it is working. What do you suggest?Metal Head (talk) 02:27, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Templates

If you want templates made for bands, tell me about them on my talk page. I am opening up requests for this. I need stuff to do during the day. Metal Head (talk) 03:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for putting up the albums in the AfD for I Voted For Kodos. Much obliged! :) Jmlk17 22:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Possible AfDs

If you are looking for some good candidates to list at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Albums and songs then you might want to look through the list at User:Alai/orphanalbum. Many of the articles have orphan tags because the artist has been deleted (not notable) or was never created in the first place.--Fisherjs (talk) 10:48, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Michelle Leonard

Hi. You recently argued for the deletion of Michelle Leonard, initially on the grounds of being a hoax and then on the grounds that she is not notable. Since then, the page has been considerably re-written. She is demonstrably not a hoax and, I believe, there is now ample evidence of notability, so I thought you might want to re-consider your position in the deletion discussion. Bondegezou (talk) 18:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Jypsi

Nice Jypsi page indeed.

Mistake on page. Jypsi has never lived in Moline Illinois. Woodbine Illinois (NW corner of state) is their hometown.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Edgar's fall (2nd nomination)

Thanks for cleaning up after me, I was in a tizzy trying to get that nomination right, and I still don't think I've got it right. Corvus cornixtalk 22:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Charted from unsolicited airplay

Can you look up some singles for LeAnn Rimes? I think some of singles are in very low positions like "Can't Fight the Moonlight". The song only charted on country chart at #61, but it did really good at Hot 100. By the way, how can you tell that a charted song is a single or not?--Langdon (talk) 05:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)i7114080

A Social Path

I thought I could speedy-tag even when an article was in AfD but I wasn't totally sure, so I just took the easy way out (for once). :-). Thanks for the confirmation. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 06:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Invisible tire valves

I hadn't noticed that it was the creator's only contribution, whoops. The reason I didn't tag it for speedy is a) the length of time it had been around and b) that someone had apparently looked at it in April 07 and thought the issue was unclear notability, not hoax so I wasn't sure what to do. I think it's shockingly clear what letter of the alphabet I'm working on since I'm dominating Afd tonight. Eek! Travellingcari (talk) 04:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Transwiking Neopets plots?

I saw your comment that you were a Neopets user - I suggested to "transwiki" Neopets plots at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Neopets plots (2nd nomination) (if "transwiki" is the right term for non-Wikimedia wikis). But since I haven't been following Neopets wikis or such very much, would you know of a good place to transwiki to? I just suggested the Neopets Wikia on a quick Google search, but there's probably some place better. Thanks! —AySz88\^-^ 05:09, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

In response above, probably propose it to Pinkpt's Neodex? I'm sure the long, detailed articles that have been proposed for deletion here (Neopian Times, Faeries, Neopia, etc.) would be great over there.

Albert Hammond, Jr.'s second album

Hey I saw your comment for deletion. You say it has no "verifiable info" but all the tracks listed are songs confirmed by Albert himself in magazines and articles. I don't see how that's not verifiable. Even though the album is titleless, there are many articles like this all along wikipedia. I'm not saying this is right, but since there is nothing saying articles about upcoming albums without titles are banned, this should be a problem. Plus, ALbert has finished the album, and the title is sure to come soon. Then, the album page'll just be redirected and everyone will be happy again. So I implore you to keep the page. 23:20, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Serio

Since you voted in the AFD, and I figured you could use a good laugh, you might take a peek at the Talk:Serio page. You might be named in the lawsuit for voting delete, after all :) PHARMBOY (TALK) 23:26, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

"Crediting source"

Hi TenPoundHammer! Thanks for "clarifying" that I was the one transcluding Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Glomp (fifth nomination)... but I was deliberately leaving my name off it. I'm the poor chump who clears this backlog, nudging new editors in the right direction, solving coding snarl-ups and generally putting things right where I can. Misplaced Pages being a place where no good deed goes unpunished, when I do that and clearly mark I'm doing it, I still get credited with the deletion rationale and I still get all of the flack and none of the glory. So now I plan to not say anything. With a little shake of WP:AGF over my actions, this may make sense. And this is why I'm reverting you. ➔ REDVEЯS has changed his plea to guilty 08:34, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Song Redirects

Hit songs should be standalone articles, because they have sometimes been recorded by multiple artists. Redirects to one particular artist is not appropriate. Wiki lookups for song information/details are not informative if redirect effectively removes the song details and sends lookups to an artist.Wikibones (talk) 23:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Song Redirects (the bigger picture)

Why redirect a song to an artist or an album when songs have a life of their own often recorded by multiple artists? By example, look at the article on Burt Bacharach and several of his songs. Specifically you might look at "Baby It's You". The song is an article itself. By redirecting the song, you basically delete ALL other information about the song. The life of a song certainly has more dimensions than one recording. They are placed in films, used in TV shows, recorded by multiple artists, and win awards in their own right. A song like "If I Was A Drinkin' Man" has all the information related to the song in it's own article includine information on the songwriters, when it charted, the Awards it has won, etc. Once you redirect it to ONE particular album, or artist like Neal McCoy, it diminishes the song as an article,a nd wipes out all the researchable details. You asked me "What do you want me to do...", and I think the best answer is "nothing", because the song article already links to Neal McCoy without a redirect that wipes the song out. A researcher looking for information on the song "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" doesn't necessarily want to be redirected to Neal McCoy.Wikibones (talk) 12:37, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Song Redirects (more thought)

I think what has come to light here is that we have "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" (the song) and "If I Was a Drinkin' Man" (the Neal McCoy recording). The song should not be redirected to Neal McCoy, but the recording should be. In the interest of preserving for researchers the songwriter and award information on the song, the song should be a standalone article.Wikibones (talk) 12:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Carrie Underwood discography

It is required with dashes to indicate that the song was released to that particular music chart but did not chart. Please don't revert it again. σмgнgσмg 23:13, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Pyong

Why did you mark Pyong for speedy deletion? It was an article about a very famous emoticon, one of which many people know about and it would be good to have a source to explain it's origin and creation. It was still in the process of being written and you delete it.

I was still in the process of adding reliable sources when you deleted it, I tried to update them and the page was already gone, I created the page like 5 minutes ago and then it was gone, you should have given me time...

thanks for completing afd

i must have been caught out by the conflict thing when trying to list Intellectual dishonesty. Thanks for fixing it. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Pyong

Yes, but if you keep requesting it be deleted, how can other people add their sources to the site and information they know that can make it notable. I may not know everything, but other people do, like I said. How will they be able to add it to a non-existent page? The Blogs come from respected people, and the single source that linked a forum was to prove the point that it was common. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomoya-kun (talkcontribs) 22:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages's Five pillars state: "Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia written for the benefit of its readers." This does not look like you are trying to benefit the readers. That is all I wanted to do, I did not want a big fight over something this simple.

"perfection is not required." It is not perfect now, but if you give it time. That would be why I labeled the article with an under construction sign which also states that you should give the article a few days before it is requested for deletion. Not 5 minutes.

Tomoya-kun (talk) 22:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

The reason I added it to this site is because it took me over 3 months to find the source of Pyong. Plenty of people used it. But not one could tell me where they found it because the creator is barley ever citied. This is why I created the page, so people do not need to search for months something can I can bring to their attention with a simple search. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomoya-kun (talkcontribs) 22:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

An admirer of your work on AfD

Hi TenPoundHammer, I just wanted to write a note to introduce myself and say hello, I've seen your tag quite a bit on AfD and your comments always seem sane and thoughtful. Also I like your name. At any rate, I've been perusing AfD lately because I recently created a wiki, Wikipopuli, as a place to host biographical articles that do not impose a notability requirement. I'd noticed that quite a few people put up bios on Misplaced Pages only to have them taken down, so obviously it seemed that there might be a need for this sort of thing. (I understand why Misplaced Pages cannot allow WP:BIO-violating articles, and whether Wikipopuli will be able to survive in the face of potential problems remains to be seen). What I'm doing right now is putting notes on user talk pages of people who have created articles that are under deletion review for WP:BIO, letting them know that there's an alternative home for their material in case it gets booted. I've written to some of the other editors who are active in AfD, telling them about the site and inviting their input -- I want to be sure I'm seen as offering people something useful, and not spamming them. I'd certainly welcome your input as well. Thanks, TheYellowCabin (talk) 02:00, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Geneva Red Wings

Hi there! I noticed you voted delete on this article but a Google news search shows that they are fairly notable unless I'm missing something this search is referring to the same team. Just thought I'd let you know anyways cheerio, Polly (Parrot) 19:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, TPH. I see you closed this AfD. Just as a notification, it was closed before I even got around to adding it. I used Twinkle, just bad timing, I guess. Soxred93 | talk count bot 02:24, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
