== Deleted page - Frank Golding (author) ==
__NOTOC__
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

hi jim. I am trying to create a page and it is apparently being challenged for deletion or deleted by you. I also enterd the info twice after a correction and received a message about it. I entered the info as it is pertinent info about myself. I have never entered info on here before and need assistance in making corrections. Many of my colleagues have entered info concerning themselves and have had no issues. My name is Bobby Tango Gibb, and I am a former member of the rock band Bang Tango. But I am trying to create a page as no one knows the info entered better than me or my band mates. .Any suggestion would be great as how to step by step enter the correct information and publish it.

== Previously deleted page back up ==

Dear Jim,

It looks like a page that you previously deleted "]" has been re-posted. You deleted it due: to G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion: A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject) The same user has created this page as a promotional tool and clearly violates Misplaced Pages's core content policies of Neutral Point of View as he sites mostly his own site. Please review this page "http://en.wikipedia.org/Universal_Life_Church" as he is misrepresenting the actual Universal Life Church located in Modesto, California.

Thanks,

== Nosotros, fast deletion ==

I'm surprised that you did not contact me first before "fast" deleting this page. Nosotros is a very important organization which helps promote Latinos in art and drama who might not otherwise be able to, among many other things. I did not really have time to develop the article quickly. Should I have started it as a stub? There are many stub articles about things that are not so important or known. Many chemical compounds and drugs are listed here yet most are not important. What I'm saying is I don't understand the guidelines, but I can learn them and re-post the page. I do not understand AT ALL why fast deletion was needed. Maybe the page is not important to you, but it is certainly more important to many Latinos. It is my opinion that Nosotros is as important as any NGO or Non-profit or charity. If the United Way or Salvation Army or NAACP can be on Misplaced Pages, there is no reason that Nosotros can not. If you don't have a personal issue with this page, then please let me know what I can do to post it properly. C

My reply to your reasons for quick deletion of NOSOTROS.:

Your reply did not explain the reason for QUICK DELETION vs. informing me first. You could've just as easily requested some fix before a given time period.
In my opinion there was no need to delete the article. People like yourself ''could help people like me'' and TELL ME about it first and at least give me a time period to add these items. In my opinion it doesn't explain the reasoning for QUICK deletion. I would've happily added such items as you say above in time. This is a great organization supported and founded by Mr. Montelbon and supported by Edward James Olmos. I don't see how such technicalities as you mentioned contribute to the greater good which Misplaced Pages is supposed to promote. There was no reason for QUICK DELETION of this article. Let it stay dead, however. Be content you've done your job well, I suppose. I'm simply trying to help, but situations like this make trying to edit wikipedia tiring and just one more stuggle of ego in the world. Cheers.

Very Disappointed. You're absolutely right, but how it makes things better I don't understand.

BOBBY TANGO GIBB
Thanks for the reply and your input Jim. I understand the verifiable source criteria, and before deletion, I feel it would be better policy in the future to notify the creator and ask for more verification info rather than just deleting. I wasn't offended . I actually laughed at the deletion as it seems I am not seasoned enough to verify myself. Kinda like when your drivers license expires,that you are no longer yourself until you re-new yourself. Or someone verifies that I am me. Otherwise i don't exist unless a document states it. Kind of ludicrous how the system works in general. I am living,yes, and am I listed as a former member of the band....yes. There are articles,websites , pics, and band members to back my claim. I couldn't have been more neutral,factual, short and sweet,and to the point. I will however take your advice to heart and re-create a page or short bio, even if have a third party compose it. And if a red flag pops up, i would appreciate it please if you contact myself or the contributor ,before deletion ,so proper corrections can be made . Thank you for the advice .

==Judy Carter Deletion==
I'm confused on why my page ']' was deleted. She is a real person. A celebrity. And I was in the process of getting reliable sources. I had until the 11th before it was suppose to be deleted.

Hi Jimfbleak. Hope 2025 has ricked off just right for you. I came across a reference to burnt in the Portuguese translation of the article, and I see that you introduced that element here. Could you please clarify, so I can adjust the Portuguese to read better? Thanks. Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia (talk) 13:13, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia, that's going back a bit! Bustards are birds of open country, and the bushy nature of fynbos would be unsuitable, but burning effectively creates open habitat, at least until the shrubs regrow. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:32, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Deletion of User:SdHb

This page wasn't a WP:U5. For one thing, the user had made more than 700 edits to mainspace and rather than the "few or no edits outside of user pages" required for U5. For another, what the user had put on the page was just "Hi!", which is not a remotely problematic user page. The rest of what was on that page was a comment that another user left, which could just be reverted. SilverLocust (talk) 11:09, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

SilverLocust thanks. Obviously you are technically right, so I've restored. I'll leave any reversion to you, since the history doesn't suggest to me which version should be restored if it's not left as is. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:20, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
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). SilverLocust 💬 13:49, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
SilverLocust I'm happy for you to make any remedy you feel is appropriate. It's clearly not appropriate in article space. I suppose it's just about acceptable as a poor draft, but whether its creator will leave it there is, as you suggest, problematic Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:11, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
