			== Deleted page - Frank Golding (author) ==
			Hi there,
			You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self. Many thanks for your consideration. ] (]) 02:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)DeEsCeHa‬

The rest of what was on that page was a comment that another user left, which could just be reverted. ] (]) 11:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

	:- As far as consistency is concerned, the Toucans, Toucanets and Araçaris project is itself inconsistent: the project title uses the spelling with the cedilla, individual articles don’t.

	:- In the absence of consensus and consistency, it is more logical to standardise the more functional spelling rather than the less functional. I was certainly planning on making the change throughout if I hadn’t run into the redirect problem, and been reverted before I had time to find out how to deal with it.

	== Areocracy is a good word ==

	Areocracy is a good word - there are none like it -your explanation was a vague copy and paste and your action was rash. I'd like the word so I can use it and point to it when I need to write something on the web that is related. There's got to be a way to keep from my word getting stolen by you obnoxious veterans I already submitted the word to the dictionary people. You've made this a "thing" when it was just a new word that the world needs. I'd appreciate a reply and some clear thoughtful directions. thanks in advance! Ed ] (]) 05:30, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
	from, Jimfbleak"Unfortunately, Misplaced Pages is an encyclopaedia, not a blog or social networking page, and is not for something you have made up or original research. Your recent article did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 05:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)"

	Respectfully; I pray you stop sending me torts that reek of a copy and paste response or some easy variation of the same. I know it's not a blog. Areocracy as a defenseless word, has little to do with personal opinion.
	How do new words form and influence culture if they cannot be created from the building blocks of literature ie; Latin/Greek?
	An encyclopedia or(as you write)encyclopaedia of what? Old words that don't define our current experience? And why talk me out of it? The word Areocracy needs to exists, based on new literal technological understandings. Before there were planes, there were ships. Thalassocracy is a word that describes the old way of nations or states ruling over the globe. Now we have a new technology that does the same thing but with a new and different technology. Unfortunately I understand the motivation and ego that I'm dealing with here and respectfully I'm asking for a direction to go. I will go in a direction with this. Using my obvious ignorance on how to submit new writings on here and dismissing me and the word Areocracy in a flippant way as a social blogger in 2 sentences isn't helping. As my senior I'm asking you to reconsider before I make another effort. Thank you for the reply. Don't take my response as disrespectful Just, thanks for writing back, don't take it wrong. Areocracy is not going away. ] (]) 17:15, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Deleted page - Frank Golding (author)

Hi there, You recently deleted a draft biography page I created for an author, Frank Golding, on the grounds that the sources were largely from the subject himself. I tried to include a substantial amount of source from reputable newspapers and archives, but I would be happy to return to the draft and add more if it could be restored. Finally, if there is any wikipedia guidance on striking a balance for sources for memoirists that would be helpful - the details of the subject's biography are of course sometimes unavoidably best drawn from his own published work because memoir is about the self.

Looking at the user's talk page, it seems that you also unintentionally deleted Aminullah Khan as "making way for a move" even though that page was not a redirect and the page to be moved, Draft:Aminullah Khan, was a redirect. As WP:G6 notes, "An administrator who deletes a page that is blocking a move should ensure that the move is completed after deleting it." The person who nominated it really wanted to delete Draft:Aminullah Khan and move the article there (though that would be move warring despite a WP:DRAFTOBJECT).
