__NOTOC__

==Carl Jackson Entertainment ==
Why are you deleting a page that has been up for 4 years? We made all the changes to ] and you falsely deleted the page. Unambiguous advertising or promotion: no independent sources, no evidence of notability is simply not true. You should try google next time before making such an assessment. And If you delete Carl Jackson Entertainment studio you have to delete Freesyle Releasing and Magnet releasing. https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Magnolia_Pictures&redirect=no ...At best you could have redirected the page or asked for more references. <small><span class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 06:59, 21 February 2015 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

==Carl Jackson Entertainment ==

A group of editors known as “deletionists” are said to “edit first and ask questions later,” making it harder for new contributors to participate, and making it harder for Misplaced Pages—which, again, aspires to provide “the sum of all human knowledge”—to overcome the issue that it is controlled by a stagnant pool of editors from a limited demographic.

2. Accurate contributors can be silenced.
Deletionists on Misplaced Pages often rely on the argument that a contribution comes from an “unreliable source,” with the editor deciding what is reliable. An incident last year showed the degree to which editors at the very top of Misplaced Pages were willing to rely on this crutch when it suits their purpose.

When the Taliban kidnapped New York Times reporter David Rohde in Afghanistan, the paper convinced 40 media organizations plus Misplaced Pages not to report on it out of concerns that it would compromise Rohde's safety. Misplaced Pages co-founder Jimmy Wales told the Times, once Rohde was free, that “We were really helped by the fact that it (postings on Rohde) hadn’t appeared in a place we would regard as a reliable source.” Thus, Wales and other senior Misplaced Pages editors showed they were willing to rely on the “unreliable source” canard to delete information they had been told by a very reliable source was true, even when a more noble reason—Rohde’s safety—would have justified it.

And finally, the number one reason you can't cite or rely on Misplaced Pages:

1. It says so on Misplaced Pages.
Misplaced Pages says, “We do not expect you to trust us.” It adds that it is “not a primary source” and that “because some articles may contain errors,” you should “not use Misplaced Pages to make critical decisions.”

Furthermore, as Misplaced Pages notes in its “About” section, “Users should be aware that not all articles are of encyclopedic quality from the start: they may contain false or debatable information.”

: {{tps}} The problem with the article is the wording is too close to Peters's bio on the web (). Even if it's not a verbatim copy, it's pretty similar, and the little bit of rewording you did doesn't appear to cure that problem. We don't restore articles that violate copyright. I've deleted your sandbox for the same reason. I don't know where this "assignment" stems from, but, regardless, school assignments cannot trump our policies.--] (]) 16:00, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello Jim,

I noticed my page had been deleted in December. The reason has been cited as (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion). Reading that particular section it says" If a subject is notable and the content can be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion." I do believe my work in the immigration and multicultural space does warrant a Wiki page. I would be happy to comply with any specific aspects that do not meet the Misplaced Pages standards. I would really appreciate if you could kindly do so thereby helping me get the page back up. Thank you, Nick Noorani

Hi,

I really don't understand wy my page about Jean Fourton was deleted, I spent hours completing the article with references and I contested the speedy deletion nomination with a message (which noboby never answered), and now it's gone, no traces can be found!? I'd like to know why you've done this. I did explain myself why this person has an importance in arts and psychoanalysis history. Furthermore, the article fits the rules and references were good.

Could you explain your deletion? Are you able to cancel this, and make the article available again?

Thank you

== Meridian Compensation Partners page deletion ==
Hi,

I understand the reasoning behind deleting the Meridian Compensation Partners page (copyright issues). Because I am planning on recreating this page and addressing this issue, I wanted to send you a message first as Misplaced Pages is telling me to contact the deleting administrator before I do that. If I rewrite the article so that it does not contain copyrighted content, will that pass muster?

Thank you.

== NuPRL Deletion ==

Hello, the NuPRL page was deleted under the concern that it contained promotional content, which was not the intention at all. It has been up for a while with no problems until the recent edits from the last few days, so I was hoping to have it restored to that state which seemed to be fine. I will ensure that no promotional or hints of promotional content is added and that everything on there abides by the Wiki guidelines.

== Deletion of Userpage for User:Tobyreyes ==

Hello, Jimfbleak. You recently deleted the userpage of one of my students, who was using his user page as a sandbox for a soon-to-be-created article. First, I feel it's poor form to delete another user's userpage, particularly when it reflects recent, iterative edits. Second, by deleting the page you render inaccessible the previous content. I cannot look at what my student created, even through your contributions page. No one else can scrutinize your decision. You unilaterally expunged the page and its history. Here is the timestamp of the edit in question.

Please restore this userpage or render accessible the history, so that I can evaluate the work of my student. If there is a more appropriate "staging area" for an article being created, I would welcome your feedback. ] (]) 21:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Your block of an editor from this gallery seems maybe to have resulted in a try-again edit from IP# 180.131.118.69. It's the only edit from that IP# to date and occurs at https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Yayoi_Kusama&diff=next&oldid=648003643; you'd reverted the same edit once before from the now-blocked editor. Your rationale for the block seems valid and I expect maybe you're also better equipped to take it the next step if you deem it appropriate. I just watch the article for other reasons. If I can help further, let me know. If there were an adequate article about the gallery I think I'd feel the link was OK. Thanks. ] (]) 15:56, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm the creator of this now-deleted page, and I hadn't logged in in time to contest the speedy deletion nomination.

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).
