Cheers! --] (]) 08:53, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
:as far as I can see the Grammy was for an album not a personal Grammy. Unless there is a consensus to point to that says that counts as a personal win, I'd expect DRV to prefer a failure to meet GNG over an albums award. YMMV. ] <sup>'']''</sup> 20:24, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
::{{ping|Spartaz}}: You are mistaken here. The Grammy is awarded personally to the producers of winning albums. Thus, he won the Grammy to his very own name since he was working on the Grammy-awarded album. I believe that is a new practice from Grammy not older than a few years. That is way I was surprised by your decision especially since other users pointed that as well. --] (]) 14:19, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
:::You don;t need to ping on my own talk page. Have you got a source for that? That the Grammy for an albumn is awarded to the producer and not the artist? ] <sup>'']''</sup> 14:59, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
:: Yes, see under 2013 in Winners column: "Laura Sullivan, artist. Eric Sullivan, producer." - thus two Grammys have been awarded. I have stated that in the discussion, but it was obviously ignored. Also, in ], in second paragraph of the lead section it is stated and cited with ref no. 5: "Beginning in 2001, award recipients included the producers, engineers, and/or mixers associated with the nominated work in addition to the recording artists." --] (]) 15:26, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
::::Hmmm, Yes I did see that earlier. My problem is that its not a personal grammy and if I might quote from ];
:::::''People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included''
::::The language there is very clear that meeting a single condition is not a silver bullet and in this case we have a BLP of an individual who most certainly fails the GNG. On that basis, and given the wider project priority around sourcing BLPs, I'd take a view that the GNG must tale preference. I'll list this at DRV for discussion. ] <sup>'']''</sup> 06:44, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

**I just want to make it clear that I was not trying to do a run around the DRV. Just because an article was deleted at AfD does not mean something should be deleted forever. As an example, two articles I have recently created, ] and ], were previously deleted at AfD. Does that mean they should be speedy deleted?

****I'm also giving up my own time, buddy. Most of the other editors said something along the lines of "Joe Decker made the correct decision to delete the article, but it can be recreated if there are sources to establish notability." I did that, and requested to end the DRV. Instead you decided to delete the article, despite the fact that an uninvolved editor removed a speedy tag. It seems like you protected it just to piss me off -- is that what Humbug is supposed to mean. In any case I listed two sources on the DrV page. There were other sources, which you could have seen if you had actually bothered to read the article. ~''''']'' <sup>(]/])</sup>'''</span>~ 00:22, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

What again?

I'm a long term user (first edit 2006) and have been an admin on or off since 2007. When we first started there was so much idealism and we really had no strong policies about inclusion except a desire to have some level of sourcing. As time moved on we became more structured and around the time I became an admin in 2007 we were grappling with the concept of collapsing non notable articles into lists which I was at the forefront of as a regular afd closer and constant presence at DRV. I had a lot of patience once and for that reason was regular DRV closer for a long time after GR Berry left the project. Sadly, my patience was degraded over time and getting involved in the PORNBIO wars pretty much washed out a lot of the good faith that policy and courtesy quite rightly requires us to show. This was again a major change in our approach to content and one of the first SNGs that was deprecated in favour of a more rigid approach to proper sourcing. Since then our content in this area has become much better and we are seeing similar struggles now in the sports arena where SNGs are slowly giving way to GNG level standards.

I have always taken a very legalistic approach to closing discussions that I recognise does not fit well to the current community standard, where low participation level allowing more brigading of votes or allowing more non-policy based arguments. For this reason I'm not really closing discussions but will still happily review old closes. Otherwise I mostly review and nominate unsuitable content as a BLP is a serious matter and needs to be properly sourced.

i am willing to userfy deleted articles for improvement as long as there is a reasonable likelihood that they can be saved. If you are challenging a deletion, do you have three good sources?

Useful Links:

Please don't leave talkback templates as I always watchlist pages when I edit and I'm perfectly capable of looking for a reply myself.
please stay in the top three tiers

Declaration: I recently logged into my daughter's account to upload and post some images to her sandbox for her university course. For privacy reasons I will not be publicly disclosing her account but will do so privately to any admin in good standing. This was a one time thing and there is no intention for me to edit further using her account. By the way uploading images on mobile is needlessly difficult event for a user who has been around since 2006.... Spartaz 15:55, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
