Speedy deletion of M. Maurice Hawkesworth

A tag has been placed on M. Maurice Hawkesworth requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Explain to me how you come to the astonishing conclusion that a producer and songwriter who worked with severel of Denmark's biggest bands and made two albums that were chosen as among the year's ten best albums by the country's biggest radio station is not notable! --Minutae (talk) 00:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Sytten

Hi, Minutae. Thanks for your edits on the Sytten article. It's usually better to add remarks to an article's talk page rather than leave them hidden in the text. Most editors won't find those hidden comments, whereas the talk page promotes discussion. Actually, next time, feel free to be bold and add corrections and references. Cheers — CactusWriter | 20:09, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Point taken and duly noted, thanks! --Minutae (talk) 23:37, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Masturbate-a-thon deletions

Hi, until you can provide reliable sources to support to content you wish to insert we need to stay with the reliably sourced content we have. I'm quite happy to discuss how sections could be reworked but simply mass reverting numerous changes to a less acceptable varsion is considered vandalism. If you continue you may be blocked. Please discuss any reliable sources you have on the talkpage before reinserting. Thank you. -- Banjeboi 01:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

In fact you are the one who is basing massive edits on wild, completely unsupported speculations and hence you are the one who will be blocked! --Minutae (talk) 15:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm citing the actual group website which coordinates the event and keeps records and posts the world records. That is among the best sourcing available. You are welcome to try to have me blocked but it would likely be wiser to simply work on finding reliable sources to support the content you wish to add. -- Banjeboi 17:24, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

You've cited a website which perhaps claims to keep and post records, but doesn't seem up to the task. In the present case, a more reliable source is available if you understand Danish. It's hardly unique for Americans not to know what's going on in Europe. I've replied in more detail at the article in question. --Minutae (talk) 22:06, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

That website is the group that started and coordinates all the events; they page currently lists an upcoming event for the end of July. It would seem to be a regularly updated site. And now that I've searched just for Copenhagen information I see that the record is not 222 times but 94; and "come to come" is about how far a participant travelled to get to the event. I'm removing those as unneeded trivia. -- Banjeboi 11:14, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Clearly you are doing incredibly bad research: The 94 number is from 2008, the 2009 number is 222, look again! The "come to come" issue has nothing to do with me. --Minutae (talk) 11:51, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

If you can direct me where on the Masturbate-a-thon.com website the 222 orgasm record in Copenhagen is cited I will be quite happy to reconsider - on Misplaced Pages we go by verifiability not truth. -- Banjeboi 23:34, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I've replied on the article's discussion page. Please go there. On my discussion page, we go by the truth. --Minutae (talk) 22:51, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Maya Ababadjani

Hi, Minutae. I noticed your comment at the Porn project on the deletion of this article. It's pointless to try to get any kind of sympathetic reaction from the Porn project-- They're the people to go to for help in deleting something. I trust what you say about the subject, and a look at the AfD shows its closing was absolutely ludicrous-- besides the nominator, who is on a self-announced "Crusade" to delete porn-bio articles, (though he's deleted FAR less than the leading voices at the Porn project, which is very telling) there was input from only one editor, and that was a "Keep".I must have looked at a different AfD closing here, not this one And no concession was made that the subject is outside the Anglosphere, and that foreign language sourcing may have been available. Anyway, I think your best bet is to forget about getting any help from the Wiki-bureaucracy-- they're the people who created this absurd situation where articles on notable subjects are routinely thrown out-- and just put together whatever good sources you have, write your own well-sourced article showing the subject's notability, and post it. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 03:24, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifying that, it's all news to me, very interesting and good to know! --Minutae (talk) 10:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem, Minutae. When I first came here I saw similar things going on with the Japanese industry, so I just made it my pet project. You might want to do that with the Danish, if it's of enough interest to you. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 14:10, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Maya Ababadjani (3rd nomination). Spartaz 04:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Minutae! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 3 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Marcelle Perks - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Ole Søltoft - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:10, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

January 2010

Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did to Pubococcygeus muscle. Doing so violates Misplaced Pages's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. You were told multiple times *NOT* to add the information, as it is not within the consensus in the talk page. —Duncan (that's me!) / _{What I Say} 15:03, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Calm down, hothead, it's not unsourced, it's just that Nutriveg has trouble with the English language. I was in the process of making the sourcing even more obvious, so that even Nutriveg can understand it, when you interfered! --Minutae (talk) 15:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Besides, Nutriveg is referring to "rules" that don't exist. To my knowledge, he holds no authority here. --Minutae (talk) 15:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
