W2S
The site you have got i have not copied at all from that site in fact i have never been on it. So why? and quick question where is the help desk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionel1Messi0 (talk • contribs) 03:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- The article W2S was deleted three times by three different administrators under the same speedy deletion criterion for a lack of indicated significance. I was neither the first nor the only person to conclude that the subject was not significant enough to merit its own article.
- The Misplaced Pages help desk may be found here. If you have any other questions, I am happy to try to answer them.

Hurley Palmer Flatt
I want to create a page that gives history of this company similar to articles like Arup and Cundall Johnstone, I am not that brilliant at editing.....who is best to do this?
Regards
Paul😀 Flatts01 (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hey, @Flatts01: You may want to start the article off as either a draft or userspace draft if you either don't intend on expanding it right away or think it may take you a while to do so. Drafts allow you to build an article before submitting it for review, so you can take a little more time with it and get other users' feedback before attempting to publish it under its own namespace. However, by your username, you appear like you may have a connection with the subject. If that's the case, I recommend reading the Misplaced Pages conflict of interest article: Conflict of interest writing and editing is rather strongly discouraged.
- Hit me up if you have any further questions! --Erick Shepherd (talk) 12:09, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Sudeep Sapkota
Hi eric this is sudeep sapkota and i want my name come in wiki for forever i dont whhat i have to do plz help me Sudnir11 (talk) 18:14, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- That's not what Misplaced Pages is for, Sudnir11. Please look over the article "What Misplaced Pages is not." --Erick Shepherd (talk) 23:29, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
You might be interested
I thought you might enjoy this....HappyValleyEditor (talk) 21:17, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't see this message in time to vote on the AfD entry, though I would have moved to keep the article. With that much media coverage, I'm somewhat surprised the notability of the subject came into question.

Speedy deletion of Iraqui Bombing of 2016
Hey, You set my page up for deletion. (The "Iraqui Bombing" one, if you recall.)
I get that it's short, but I felt there should be an article on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Geckonatior (talk • contribs) 23:02, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, @Geckontior: Yes, I recall. I had initially flagged Iraqui Bombing of 2016 for a lack of content, but after you had added in some details about the subject, I did a little searching and found there was already a preexisting article on the same topic under a different name — see Iskandariya suicide bombing — and added the second deletion tag because of that. Normally, I would have proposed we turn the page into a redirect, but I think the title Iraqui Bombing of 2016 is a little to vague to connect to so specific a topic. However, you are more than welcome to edit the existing page! Hit me up if you need any help. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 23:34, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

You added the speedy tag less than a minute after its creation. That's way too hasty. Consensus is to wait at least 10 minutes before tagging. Adam9007 (talk) 23:33, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Agreed, and normally, unless the submission is in egregious violation, I do try to. However, in this case, within that minute, I was able to conduct a web search and establish that the company itself is not even a month old, that their website was registered under the same individual as authored the article (which their own testimony corroborated three minutes later on the talk page), and that the company has no established notability under WP:CORP as there is a complete absence of coverage in secondary sources. I apologize if it seemed hasty, but the intent of the article appeared to me obviously promotional. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 00:04, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Because the creator and anonymous, single-purpose accounts keep killing the speedy tag, I opened an Afd against this article. You may want to contribute. ubiquity (talk) 14:38, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
- I just did so. Thank you very much! --Erick Shepherd (talk) 15:11, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Comment
Hello, not sure if you remember User:Giggity giggity goo 69, but it turns out that he was a block evader. Usually when accounts with names like that are created, they don't mean well. I get the asssume good faith and that, but in my WP experience so far, I tend to go with my gut. Thanks again for your input. --TJH2018 talk 21:54, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @TJH2018: I saw. I had them on my watchlist and got a notification when they were blocked earlier today. I apologize, I never meant to seem like I was trying to discredit your take on the matter — I just didn't quite understand the reasoning behind why their user space was tagged WP:G3 when I first looked at their contributions. Regardless, your gut instinct appears to have been correct. Nice work! --Erick Shepherd (talk) 22:45, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Just finished fixing the citations, please see if it's ok now? thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eh1177 (talk • contribs) 01:07, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Eh1177: The only citations in the article Officepools.com are of primary sources: namely the subject's own website. I recommend reading the Misplaced Pages entry on identifying reliable sources. As it currently stands, the article looks to be a promotional piece about a non-notable subject. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 01:13, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Eh1177: Better! Though unfortunately, it looks like it may not have been enough. An administrator appears to have deleted the page within a minute of you commenting here about the change. My recommendation is to collect more sources on the subject like that Forbes article and build a draft page. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 02:51, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Lisson tchistiakov
Hi Erick Shephard, May you please not delete the Lisson Tchistiakov page because we are trying to inform people about a person that could once become famous. We are talking about his life, age, inspiration, and talent Lisson555 (talk) 01:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Lisson555: I am afraid an assertion of potential future fame is not a credible claim of significance. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 01:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Thanx

Jim Butcher
Hello I was reverted by a rogue editor swpb. Please intefere.
He says my edits are inappropriate like I am naked in the street. Please, do something, because I don't want to enter into edit wars. See also Anne McCaffrey bibliography and stop this rogue ruining my work.

Ok, Erick, I am stopping. Editors are threatening me and disparaging my edits. I have done more than 20 splits of lengthy, staggering and huge chunks of bibliographies while we have categories of bibliographies in fantasy, sci-fi and even historical novels, but now I am threatened by editors, who are talking only about consensuses, while there are only 3 or 4 major editors like me that are watching and doing work. I have made my mark, but now I am threatened and even trailed not to do anymore splitting work.
