If you leave a message for me here, I will probably reply on your talk page unless you ask me not to do so,
Trying to follow discussions between users can be important, and it becomes so much easier to work out who said what to whom, when and why if those discussions are available in one place.
If I leave a message, or a reply to you on your User talk page, I will reflect that here to keep the record of our discussions less fragmented.

G8 speedy deletion of User talk:Kuldipem
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't WP:G8 explicitly exclude user talk pages? Thanks! ChaotıċEnby(talk · contribs) 13:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- @ User:Chaotic Enby, Oops, yes you're correct, looks like my mistake. More haste, less speed etc. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I have now restored the page. --Cactus.man ✍ 14:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
G4 deletion of Ayaz Sheikh
Hi, I saw you declined the G4 deletion of Ayaz Sheikh as the page was speed-deleted earlier. However, the page is just a copy of the recently deleted one following AfD: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Ayaz Sheikh, which was closed just a few hours ago. Should I open a second AfD, even it it's rather clear that the page is a recreation of a deleted one? Broc (talk) 16:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi User:Broc, thanks for your message.
- I understand your point and agree to some extent, but technically a new Speedy nomination falls afoul of the G4 criteria. I'm not a big fan of process wonkery and generally frown upon it, but the "rules" have evolved over time, usually for a good reason. So I think the best course of action in this instance is to take the article to AFD.
- Best wishes --Cactus.man ✍ 18:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Cactus.man. In the future I think you can accept a G4 in this situation, per Misplaced Pages talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Repeated Speedy Deletions (or: is AfD sovereign?). Hope this clarifies things. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:58, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Novem Linguae.thanks for the note. I still find the wording of the G4 criteria a bit confusing, no matter how many times I read it. To my simple brain, it veeers into the semantic complexity and impenetrability of logical thinking involving Double negatives. I'll ponder over this longer, but thanks to User:Thryduulf, whose commentary in that thread on the interpretation of the wording I found the most helpful.
- Thanks again. --Cactus.man ✍ 12:04, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Userfication Request
Hello, I recently attempted to make my first article, Joshua Tomar, and incorrectly tried writing it as a live article instead of a draft. The article was speedy deleted before completion. Can I have the deleted article userfied as a personal draft so I can work on it again, complete it, and send it in as a draft? If that works can I also request the first article on the page, which was written by someone else and also deleted? I'm unable to view deleted articles, but being able to see it would help me better understand the context of the prior deletion discussion and let me know which of the things I'm writing that will make the article qualify for permanence. Regards KEP95 (talk) 01:00, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- @KEP95: I have Userfied the article to User:KEP95/sandox/Joshua Tomar. I have also restored the previous page from 20 September 2023, at 17:24 to User:KEP95/sandox/Joshua Tomar original. I hope that's of some use to you, regards. --Cactus.man ✍ 17:13, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated KEP95 (talk) 17:41, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Joshua Tomar
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 Joshua Tomar 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 a real person or group of people that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Liz 06:22, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
