Speedy deletion nomination of The UnReal Times

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The UnReal Times requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. reddogsix (talk) 10:20, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

I have replied to your post in the RfC on Caste. Please respond. (See Talk:Caste.) Fowler&fowler«Talk» 17:20, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Re

Hi, First of all, thanks for the message. And although I have put up a wikibreak temp on my tp and also that my exams are coming very soon, I can't resist editing.

Well, I looked into the article again, and it obviously doesn't look an advert, so I have removed that tag. But I am still a little concerned whether it meets the criteria on WP:WEB. The references are, for sure, reliable. However, the content isn't a subject of multiple non-trivial published works. Except one reference here, all other just mention the website trivially. If you think that it does meet WP:WEB, then go ahead and remove the tag. I have also reviewed the article since it was unreviewed.

If you have any concerns then I'll be happy to help. If you post a reply here, leave a {{Talkback}} on my talk page. I'll reply if online. Harsh (talk) 10:00, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Article drafts on user pages

Please could you move most of the content of User:OrangesRyellow to your sandbox or some other sub-page? Everything from the sentence beginning "This is a list of terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2012." has the appearance of being a draft article and it is inappropriate to have such things on the main user page. Please take a look at Misplaced Pages:User pages#What may I not have in my user pages.3F. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 01:02, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Actually, I had picked that markup from some existing Misplaced Pages article (to study it's markup and practice my own markup on it).OrangesRyellow (talk) 01:40, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

It still should not be on your main user page. If you are unsure how to move it then just let me know & I'll do it for you. - Sitush (talk) 02:20, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

I find it more convenient to have it there and I do not see why it should not be there. Please no not worry about every little thing.OrangesRyellow (talk) 02:42, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

It is a breach. Either you move it or I do. You have no choice beyond that. - Sitush (talk) 03:14, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

What exactly is your problem? There is not breach. If you do anything there, I do have a choice. I will revert it.OrangesRyellow (talk) 03:39, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi OrangesRyellow. I moved the article to User:OrangesRyellow/Sandbox. Keeping it on your user page is inappropriate but you can use your sandbox to build on the article if you like. --regentspark (comment) 13:29, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I do not see what problem does it cause if it remains on my userpage? Another user had assumed that it is some kind of a draft. It is not, as I have explained above (within this thread). If you guys are too shy of showing things about Pakistan, why do you allow the article to remain in main article space? If it is not a problem there, how can it be a problem here? Is there some rule that the userpage cannot be used like a sandbox etc.?OrangesRyellow (talk) 13:38, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

It's not a big deal OrangesRyellow. The material is there in your user space, just not on your user page. User pages are generally meant for information about you as a Wikipedian and material about articles is not encouraged there. In fact, it is not encouraged even in your sandbox but I've moved it there anyway for the time being to give you time to incorporate your material into the article. --regentspark (comment) 14:01, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

It is a big deal. You have deleted my userpage. And you have still not explined yourself why you need to do this. Bloody Pakistani POV. You are dishonestly trying to make it appear as if it is a draft. It is not. It is a copy of some other existing article. Now restore my userpage.OrangesRyellow (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Looked like a draft - and WP:POLEMIC to me as well. Certainly needed to be moved elsewhere, and if it's not used in an article soon, it will likely need to be deleted fullscale. Beware of the personal attacks you used above, as they can lead to sanctions. Let me know if I can be of more help dangerouspanda 14:50, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

It was not a draft, but a copy of an existing article. This article Terrorist incidents in Pakistan in 2012. How many times do I need to repeat? If you cannot even understand that much, how can I believe you could see through Pakistani tricksters. I am sorry, but has anyone asked you if you are naive? I am sure you don't have any experience with Pakistanis.OrangesRyellow (talk) 05:39, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

If it was merely a copy then it violated Misplaced Pages's copyright rules by not having attribution to the original editors. I stated clearly that it looked like a draft ... and appearances are often more important (it sure did not look exactly like any article on Misplaced Pages that I have seen...didn't even match the format we're required to use). As a journalist that has spent time in South Asia, I can guarantee you that I "have experience with Pakistanis" and that I'm not naive. dangerouspanda 09:44, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

If attribution is the problem, then that could be solved. I have no objection giving attribution and credit should certainly be given where it is due. It is just that I did not think that this could be an issue because I was not trying to pass it off as something I had written. But I still have to find out how to add attribution for other eds. I also have a copy of another article in another sandbox. So, attribution may be needed there too. As for that article's format, it is in list format and Misplaced Pages seems to have thousands of articles in that particular format. If you have not seen them, it could mean you have not been around on WP too much. But it does not mean that such articles do not exist. Well, you may have had some experience with Pakistanis, but I am yet to meet any naive person who would not guarantee that they are not naive.OrangesRyellow (talk) 10:10, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I am at a loss with your Pakistani stuff. Aside from the nasty racial stereotyping, you seem to be under the impression that I have some sort of connection with Pakistan. I have no idea where you get that from but it looks likely that you have jumped to a conclusion somewhere down the line and now cannot get it out of your head. It is an incorrect assumption and you should withdraw it. - Sitush (talk) 10:19, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Malala Yousafzai

Love your explanation: "these two fatalities in Pakistan can be neglected". I thought they were interesting, but ok. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fortibus (talk • contribs) 02:15, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
