thanks
Thanks for all the work at the AFDs :-) Vikram Vincent 15:32, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- you're welcome, sir! Vincentvikram Spiderone 15:34, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I thought the use of Engineering/Management tags would be relevant to concepts from that field, no? Shouldn't the org coupled with place and domain be sufficient? Vikram Vincent 16:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Vincentvikram - potentially but I don't see the harm in tagging as such when the organisation is dedicated mostly to teaching engineering. We generally tag societies and people working in the field of 'engineering' as 'engineering' so I see no harm in doing the same for engineering colleges. Same with management, in my view. A school dedicated to teaching management would fulfil the criteria for being associated with the topic. Spiderone 19:37, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I thought the use of Engineering/Management tags would be relevant to concepts from that field, no? Shouldn't the org coupled with place and domain be sufficient? Vikram Vincent 16:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Spiderone, how do we fine tune categories within Twinkle? Like I am adding 'schools' but want to target the 'university and colleges' sub category.. Vikram Vincent 16:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Vincentvikram I'm not actually sure! It might be worth seeing if anyone at WT:TWINKLE knows the answer. Sorry. Spiderone 16:43, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
These databases and press releases are deceptive. A lot of folk tend to think they are RS. I wonder if I should make a list of them cause they pop up in my top ten on a DDG search engine (no, I refuse to use uncle google). VV 16:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

My article tagged speedy deletion
I want to know the reason my article has been marked for deletion. Kevin Trotsky (talk) 13:43, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
- Kevin Trotsky - hi there. Please read WP:GNG and WP:NMUSICIAN. There is no indication that Mosidon meets our notability criteria. Spiderone 13:54, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
My article was also tagged for deletion Sanat Sawant Could you tell me the issues to fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by San100902 (talk • contribs) 16:21, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi Spider, my article on the Jenny Wren is also marked for speedy deletion. Can you let me know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks NN Nancy Nab (talk) 00:37, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Nancy Nab - hi, it hasn't been deleted. It's just been moved to Draft:Jenny Wren (narrowboat) as it's still clearly a work in progress. When you think the draft is ready to be submitted, then please click the relevant button on that page. You may find WP:MFA helpful as a new editor. Spiderone 09:01, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
Sawant
The only logged in editor I can find is the uploader at Commons Fiddle Faddle 15:44, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- Timtrent - their behaviour should see them blocked soon so hopefully that resolves this and we can focus on the other socks. Spiderone 16:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
- There seems to be a proliferation of vanity socks at the moment. Luckily I have a good sense of smell, and they do stink Fiddle Faddle 17:22, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
speedy deletion
hey, i don't think a dhar mann article qualifies for g11 in anyway, I'm not affiliated with him in any way, just thought it would be cool to write an article about him because I was surprised there wasn't one already. also, i dont think i expressed any bias there, in fact i think his videos are kind of stupid so not sure what makes that a violation. JameezWiki (talk) 16:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- JameezWiki - There is quite clear consensus that he isn't notable enough to be on Misplaced Pages. As you will see Dhar Mann is currently a protected article and requires admin permission to be created. Same too with Dhar mann. If you really think that he is notable, then ask the admin that closed the last deletion discussion to see if they can restore a draft copy. By the way, the article that you wrote contained a lot of promotional language and there were entire paragraphs full of language that was totally not appropriate for an encyclopaedia. Spiderone 16:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Spiderone - my first article, made it in about two seconds without thinking about how encyclopaedic it actually sounded. also, i hadnt even checked the notability guidelines, even though they told me to, I thought "well i mean he has 8 million subscribers, so uh... i dunno" and just wrote it, so yeah, sorry about being an idiot. JameezWiki (talk) 16:31, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- JameezWiki - no worries, we're all here to learn. Me included! Spiderone 16:44, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

I am sorry for removing that; I did that by mistake. But, I think that the page was removed in 2020 and since then, a lot has changed. She has become the President of the Women's wing of the state unit of the BJP. She is also contesting 2021 WB elections. -Doller Agarwal 15:22, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Page move error
Hello there @Spiderone I noticed to made a page move on an article i created earlier. I just wanted to make some corrections I wanted the Chief Mobolaji Ayorinde SAN, FCIARB, OFR to be the main page of all redirected search not the page it is currently linking to as the current page title has no honors attributed to it. Please can you help make this changes. I would be really happy. Mysticmindz (talk) 16:17, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mysticmindz, hi there. We don't include these titles in the title of the article. See, for example, Stephen Hawking. We wouldn't call the article "Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA" instead. Same goes for titles such as 'Chief', 'Lord', 'Sir' and 'Dame'. See, for example, Sebastian Coe and Kelly Holmes; we mention the title in the opening sentence of the article but not in the article's title. Spiderone 16:24, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oh now I understand thank a lot you are the best Mysticmindz (talk) 16:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Mysticmindz you're welcome Spiderone 16:28, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Something went wrong
Hello spider, hope you are doing well. I just started involving in Wikiproject Deletion sorting. When I sorted this Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Nikhil Raut under Wikiproject India manually using the template, it didnt showed. Then I installed the script.But something wrong might have happened from my side. Now it is showing twp times in Wikiproject Indias sorting. Can you have a look and tell me what exactly went wrong here as Im totally confused here. Regards Kichu🐘 16:34, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Kashmorwiki: - hi there, it's probably a one-off error from installing the script. It happens to me sometimes. Please note that the script doesn't sort 'Kerala' properly but every other sorting seems to work fine. Spiderone 17:09, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Giambattista Bonis nominated for deletion
Hello! I wanted to let you know that I nominated Giambattista Bonis for deletion after you contested my PROD. (No hard feelings about that! You're probably right that it belonged in AfD. In all honesty, I tried PROD first because AfD intimidates me. It was a mistake on my part.) Anyway, I thought you might be interested in participating in the discussion. Aerin17 (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker), @Aerin17, why would Spiderone have any hard feelings? They didn’t create the article in the first place so would they feel any type of way? They contested the prod because it did not apply. I’m not sure how or why you feel intimidated by AFD's, infact prodding is the most useless method to delete an article and if you feel an article ought to be deleted then tbh it’s my advice to use the AFD method instead. Celestina007 (talk) 23:52, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks @ Ty Maurin
I was unaware that the article had been PROD'ed before and was not aware of that procedure, so thanks for that. Is there a log of some sort you know of where I can check if it has been PROD'ed before? That would be helpful. Thanks! Jay eyem (talk) 18:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
- Jay eyem - there is, yeah. If you click on the article's history and then click "view logs for this page", you can see its previous deletions. Spiderone 18:21, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
A little help
A glad day spider. Have a look at Draft:Sol Eisner. The subject passes NFOOTY as per the article. But I am not sure about the reliablity of sources. I am also unable to acces some of them. Since you are from states, your little help would be appreciated to verify this so that I can accept or decline the draft. Regards Kichu🐘 23:27, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
- Kashmorwiki - Good day to you! I'm actually from UK so can't access all of them. I'm quite confident that NFOOTBALL is met and that the sources are reliable enough for the article to be posted, though. Spiderone 07:18, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- BlameRuiner has put up the article for a PROD. But I thought the friendlies were official. Regards. Kichu🐘 09:55, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- Kashmorwiki - he's probably correct but I can't see what he's referring to. It might be best to ask him about the nature of the friendly. I went off the 11v11 source and couldn't see any mention of it not being official there. Spiderone 10:37, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Kashmorwiki:: this source mentions 1948 friendly vs Israel as unofficial. As far as I can see, this was his only game. --BlameRuiner (talk) 13:54, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Admin notice
In an admin notice in a discussion over an activity that I have apologized for someone has attacked me for events that I was mis-chracterized in 8 years ago and has called for published articles engaging in character assasination against me. This is the level some of those who want to halt deletion of Misplaced Pages articles are now willing to stoop to.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:31, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Johnpacklambert clearly the WP:BURDEN element of WP:V is considered optional by some people. Keep doing what you are doing. I've been up at ANI a ludicrous number of times as well and you're doing well to remain civil, to be honest. I'm sick of people calling us 'deletionists' simply because we are trying to enforce WP:GNG for what it is actually supposed to be. As I've said before, this encyclopaedia, without the likes of us and people like Celestina trying to combat the hoaxes, self-promotion and other LinkedIn junk, would be nothing. An absolute waste of webspace. Spiderone 16:10, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- Now they are trying to kill me with an abusrdly low limit of 10 AfD nominations a day. This is just plain absurdly low considering how many slam dunk nominations come in. Especially considering how many slam dunk nominations on cricet players get opposed out of hand.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:28, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, would you mind closing this XFD, bad call, I tried unlisting manually, but it has already propagated, thanks! Acousmana 16:45, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

AFD, linking to wikiprojects
Afternoon Spiderone. Thanks for adding the wikilinks in for the projects in the AFD. Can I ask how you are doing that, so I can do it automatically? Is it a particular extension you are using? Koncorde (talk) 15:51, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Koncorde - It certainly is. The one that I use is User:Fox Wilson/delsort. :) Spiderone 16:17, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- Cheers. Koncorde (talk) 16:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

- Thanks! CommanderWaterford - we need to be hyper vigilant with this one. The creator has created multiple accounts and spammed this article under several different names. Spiderone 19:26, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

AfD
Hey Spiderone. Could you nominate Jocelyn Merlen, Gregory Deswarte, Reginald Becque, and Cedric Jandau on AfD for me? You can see what I spoke about with GiantSnowman on my talk page. Thank you. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:26, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Paul Vaurie - I would disagree with taking any of these to AfD as they all meet WP:GNG despite failing WP:NFOOTBALL. GNG is the most important guideline for notability. Spiderone 16:36, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, so you believe they all meet GNG? Alright, then I guess we don't have to discuss them. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:43, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- Paul Vaurie I think so. The sources look like they address the player directly and in depth. Spiderone 18:06, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

The Blend Hawke's Bay
As the founder of The Blend Hawke's Bay, and that therefore being the reason I set the article up - so that people can find out about my station more easily - I'm curious as to how I go about citing my own sources? Genuinely curious is all, hence asking, as I want to avoid it being removed.
The fact of the matter is there's no sources I can cite beyond the website and social media pages which I have set up and run myself, I've set it all up while being on a benefit and at this stage it doesn't have much of a following so I figured a wikipedia article may help that somewhat. The original website with the station's origin has been unpublished since my friend, who founded the Baltimore based one rebranded it and a quick Google search shows no third-party articles on it as it's not that well-known. In failing this I may request that an article be set up, which would be pretty difficult as I am the only person with the streaming info, etc... NZConnor (talk) 22:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
- NZConnor - As per WP:NRADIO internet radio stations, are not presumed notable just for existing, but may have notability conferred on them by meeting WP:CORP standards. Where verifiable, an unlicensed station may be mentioned in the appropriate contexts (such as an article about its parent organization or school, if one exists or can be created), but is not eligible for its own standalone article unless it can be sourced over WP:GNG via reliable source coverage. In other words, the radio station needs to have plenty of significant coverage from reliable sources independent of the radio station. The content must be completely independent of your radio station and cannot, in any way, be from you. For example if a local paper published material that originated from one of your press releases, this would still fail notability. If no such coverage exists, then the article should be deleted. Misplaced Pages is not a directory. You are also required to declare your conflict of interest formally on your user page. I will send instructions for this. Spiderone 22:35, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
The Draft Of Antboy
I Got Your Reply Spiderone And Thanks For Putting That Article In Draft Cause I Wasn't Finshed And If You Want To Talk Just Let Me Know Thanks So Much!!!
Hey
I don't remember you having those colors (lol). Maybe I stole yours, idk. Excellent choice though either way. ;-) I hope you are well. Winter was grueling but a needed time to rest and reflect. I will still be here on a limited basis but if you ever need assistance with anything I would be grateful for the opportunity. I'm looking forward to return of green and colorful things to our valley. --ARoseWolf 16:53, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Jade Bird
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Jade Bird you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Edwininlondon -- Edwininlondon (talk) 13:41, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
- Ooooo, one of my favorite artist. :-O Excellent choice; get out of my head, Spiderone. :-P My playlists are full of Jade tunes. Love my grunge, folk, indie rock. :-D --ARoseWolf 17:57, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Tsistunagiska she's a great artist and her career is only just starting, really. :) It was sad to see that her article was barely even more than a stub last year. I have spent quite a few hours trying to find sources to expand her article. I'm hoping that it will get to be on the main page one day. Spiderone 18:05, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Absolutely just starting and I think you have done extensive work. It's very well written and sourced. I believe it will make it on the main page one day. Great work! --ARoseWolf 18:09, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Please dont delete her off wiki.thanks drew270 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drew270 (talk • contribs) 01:38, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
- Drew270, Spiderone isn't deleting anything off wiki. He didn't even nominate the article for deletion. If anything, he posted the AfD on relevant topical wiki-project listings so anyone with the ability to find sources or knowledge of sources could add those to the article to hopefully produce enough evidence to keep it. Even so, he doesn't arbitrarily decide what is kept or not. It is a consensus of editors, basing their decision on the guideline of notability (WP:N), that decides to keep or delete an article through the AfD process. --ARoseWolf 17:45, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
- Drew270 I've noticed that you haven't participated in the discussion here. You are more than welcome to do so but please make sure to show how this relates to Misplaced Pages's notability criteria, such as WP:ENT and WP:GNG. Spiderone 18:03, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
