Fixed your link

I hope you don't mind but I fixed your link. Dismas| 14:42, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

I see that someone else changed it to Misplaced Pages:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide which is what you were likely going for. My apologies. Dismas| 14:48, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that, I usually after posting, but obviously didn't this time, or I would have seen the red link. GB fan 19:54, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Joanne Laptiste

Hi GB fan, I am inviting you to just review Joanne Laptiste. It was tagged for WP:BLPPROD but I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Because user itself has created article on his biography and when I searched the subject, I didn't find any reliable independent source that identify notability. Have a look at Joanne Laptiste if you can. Thank you. A.Minkowiski 20:04, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

It has already been deleted WP:G3 as a blatant hoax. GB fan 20:17, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Dark metal article

Your edit on the dark metal article is absolute nonesense. Megadeth, Judas Priest Black Sabbath etc. are not dark metal bands. The term is a bit ambiguous but dark metal bands are usually bands, that do not fit into black metal or death metal. For an accurate analysis I refer to the german article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VanGru (talk • contribs) 10:51, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I just restored the sourced content you removed and replaced with completely unsourced content. If you believe the bands listed are not dark metal, please provide sources that they aren't and also provide sources for the bands you want to add as dark metal. GB fan 11:03, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

WP:ROLLBACK

Hi GB fan. I am just letting you know that I requested for WP:ROLLBACK at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions/Rollback as you know I am fighting against vandalism and reporting them on WP:AIV. I am using Twinkle right now but I need WP:ROLLBACK to perform better task. I am also quite familiar with ROLLBACK guidelines and usage. Can you please approve my ROLLBACK request if you can?. Thank you. A.Minkowiski 14:58, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

I have not worked at Misplaced Pages:Requests for permissions/Rollback, so I am not comfortable with it. There are admins who spend time there and know the standards used to grant the permission. I will defer to them. GB fan 19:37, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. It would be easy for me to perform my job better If some one grant me ROLLBACK right. Once again thank you. A.Minkowiski 20:12, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Burke's Peerage Foundation

Dear GB fan,

Before I proceed with my question (lest you think I am being underhand with you) - I am being investigated as a "sockpuppet". I mention this NOT to gain some sympathy vote OR enlist your aid BUT for you to consider my remarks below on their own merit.

I requested to have an article which I created deleted (Burke's Peerage Foundation) using code Db-g7. I assume that was the correct way to do it. However, I noticed that it was reversed by yourself. I could not establish notability, so another user decided to add the redirect. As it is not an alternative name for Burke's Peerage, I would question the redirect. Indeed, I would prefer to keep the article, but if the community feels so strongly about notability, I will relent (in this instance) and agree that notability has not been sufficiently established. Perhaps at some future date when more information is available, I (or indeed another user) can recreate the article. Again, keep or delete, but the redirect I believe is somewhat misleading. Therefore, please reconsider my removal of the redirect - and indeed my request to delete the article.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Ctfn (talk) 17:31, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

WP:G7 only applies to articles that have a single significant contributor. Even without taking in the redirection, you are not the only significant contributor. This means that the speedy deletion criterion does not apply. If you feel it is an inappropriate redirect, you can restore the article and see what happens or you can nominate the redirect for deletion at WP:RFD. GB fan 19:26, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

Bell Gardens page deletion

Hello GB

why did you delete the Bell Gardens (band) page i put up? How is it not relevant to Misplaced Pages? This is a band that is current with 2 well known musicians who release on well known record labels - what did I do wrong in my post? There are pages for other Stars Of The Lid related bands such as the Winged Victory For The sullen page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/A_Winged_Victory_for_the_Sullen )... why is that relevant and Bell Gardens page is not? A page has not yet been created for them and it should.

Please let me know why this was done.

thank You, --Ambient.Trivia

The article was restored. You can work on it and improve it. GB fan 09:18, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

History restore request

Please restore the history of the following page: List of Teletoon original productions I previously requested that it be deleted per WP:G7, but later changed my mind. I'm aware that it's only a redirect but I would like the history to be present anyways. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:47, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

List of wineries in Florida

Thanks for the restoration of the old article. I found it and posted it to the talk page of the new article. It may turn out to be useful because I believe some of the wineries there may not be included in the new list. Regardless, thanks for your help. Candleabracadabra (talk) 20:30, 17 April 2014 (UTC)

Ok then

Fine I won't attack anyone. I just want to know why my page keeps getting deleted. Dave Antonini (talk) 01:37, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

It keeps getting deleted because it does say anything about why the band is significant. You should read WP:ikipedia:Your first article. You should also read Misplaced Pages:Notability (music) it discusses how Misplaced Pages determines if bands are notable. GB fan 01:43, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

So my band's not notable? Try telling that all my loyal fans and adoring groupies. Dave Antonini (talk) 01:46, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

To be notable according to the guidelines here, multiple reliable sources must have written about your band. you should also read Misplaced Pages:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. GB fan 01:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Guess I'm gonna have to find something else to edit about. Dave Antonini (talk) 02:01, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

User talk page blanking

As I understand it, this user blanking their entire talk page goes against WP:REMOVED - editors specifically aren't allowed to remove "declined unblock requests regarding a currently active block" from their own talk page, presumably to stop people from wasting too much admin time by repeatedly deleting and reposting weak, failed requests. The editor is welcome to delete the surrounding discussion, but the declined requests should stay until the block is lifted. --McGeddon (talk) 17:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

I understand what the rule says. I also know there is possibly more going on here and we are not hurting anything by having that page blanked. Two admins have indicated that it is ok for the page to be blanked. Please leave it blanked. GB fan 18:40, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

The other admin also thought it was okay to change the user's talk page template from "considering retirement" to "retired", which I don't understand, but sure, I'll leave it blanked if you think the benefit outweighs the potential confusion. --McGeddon (talk) 18:52, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

Yes I do think the benefit outweighs the potential confusion. Thank you for leaving the page as is. 44robby left the retired banner up when they reverted this last time, so we can accept that they consider themselves retired. GB fan 21:08, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

The dust has settled now, but it looks as if 44robby later asked (I assume off-wiki) "why did you change it to retired?" because he "didn't understand" why he had apparently been forcibly retired for blanking his own talk page. Proactively "retiring" a blocked user (who still has every right to appeal the block) with no explanation just seems inappropriately confusing for everyone else. Admins can block users and lock talk pages, but a retirement template always means that "this user has voluntarily chosen to retire", doesn't it? --McGeddon (talk) 17:45, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Then you should talk to the person who changed that, not me. GB fan 00:34, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I did: the admin told me to "stop fussing", claimed that 44robby had somehow "insisted" on it, and ignored my request to change it back for clarity's sake. 44robby clearly hadn't "insisted" on anything, as he posted the next day asking why the retirement template was there. I was just hoping for a second opinion on whether this was an unhelpful and against-policy thing for an admin to have done.

If we have an admin who mistakenly thinks that "indefinite" means "permanent", that an indefinite block equals "forced retirement" and that it's therefore helpful to paste up "this user has voluntarily retired" banners on talk pages of indef-blocked users (was the decision for an "enough of this crap" talk page protection from User:Ohnoitsjamie affected by the fact that the talk page apparently said "I have retired and am no longer active, but I still want to complain about another editor"?), then I think that admin's understanding of blocking and retiring needs to be corrected. --McGeddon (talk) 10:24, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

I felt that page-protection and the "indefblock" template was a simple solution to the issue so we could all stop wasting time with it. The user had a pretty entrenched case of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT, so entertaining further unblock requests was pointless. OhNoitsJamie 15:14, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Jordan Agro

Please recreate Jordan Agro it's beginner artists and all everything about Jordan Agro on — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heyitsalexey (talk • contribs) 13:46, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

There is no claim to significance in that article. Your statement that "Jordan Agro is an beginner artist" confirms he does not meet our notability guidelines. GB fan 13:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Sorry, about the mis-understanding. It may be a little late, now for me, to express me myself, but I wanted to say, I acknowledge my mistake, and I hopefully would not let it happen again.

Ttongsul

"decline speedy delete, none of the speedy delete criteria listed apply to this article, please consider listing at WP:AFD if you feel it is not notable" None of the criteria applies? If you read them you'd figure that they full well apply. However, I've marked it AfD as you suggested. Although in my view it's horrible this kind of racism (on an entire culture) isn't reason enough for a speedy deletion alone. Ryohka (talk • contribs) 05:31, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion criteria are very stringent and for articles to be deleted under them they must meet those specific criteria. If the criteria do not fit completely then they can not be used to delete the article. You marked the article with three different criteria.

WP:G1 In you nomination for G1 you wrote: "Patent nonsense: implausible theories, fictional material, coherent non-English material" If you read the criterion, those things are specifically excluded. The last sentence of the criterion says This criterion says: "In short, if you can understand it, G1 does not apply." Based on your comments about the article you can understand the article, so this criterion does not apply.

WP:G10 You wote: "article suggests Koreans alone would ingest fecals (?)" The article does not suggest that Koreans alone would ingest fecals, it discusses that this has a long history in China and Korea. Then on User talk:Phoenix7777 you wrote: "I hope you notice it is close to racism" If something is close to racism that does not mean that the article was written purely to harrass Koreans.

WP:A11 For A11 to apply it must be obvious from the information in the article that the person who wrote the article either made up the subject of the article or they personally know the person who made it up. Since the article claims this has been done for over 1000 years, the person who wrote could not have been the person who came up with the idea, nor could they have known the person who did. style="color:darkorchid;">message me]]» 12:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Humans have done lots of things in the name of medicine over the last couple of millenium that today we can't beleive it would even be tried. Reporting on those things is not racism or attacks. Is this true, I don't know but it had enough that I believe the proper course of action is to have a discussion to see what others know. GB fan 09:52, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

I moved the following two comments out of my comments above. General comments: You tried to invoke speedy deletion criteria. The speedy deletion process is for articles that unambiguously meet the strict criteria laid out. If the article does not meet those strict criteria admins should not delete the article, because the community has stated we can only delete them if the meet them. GB fan 12:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

• WP:G10
  • Even if it isn't purely written to harass Koreans, it's existence is based on harassment (try to refute that properly). This fulfills WP:G10 very well. Ryo «message me» 12:30, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
    • I can not refute that the original concept is based on harassment. That isn't what the speedy deletion criterion is about. The speedy deletion criterion is about an article whose mearly existence is nothing but disparagement or harrasment of the subject. If there was an article that said that Koreans eat feces then that would qualify under WP:G10, but in this case the article describes what appears to be an historical medical treatment that has been written about by other people. GB fan 12:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
      • As the resources are doubted in the AfD proposal and they have previously been doubted in the original page's talk by independent people. Considering most/all resources are made up, or certainly not Korean. The original page says "Ttongsul, or feces wine, is a Korean traditional medicinal preparation made from feces, particularly that of humans". Correct me if I'm wrong, indicates that Koreans did or are creating/ingesting feces wine, aside from its inexistence. The only remotely "real" record indicating such was a Chinese book, Chinese medicine respectively. But as I previously said, it is pointless to discuss whether a WP:G10 is given or not, if the admin thinks it isn't. You have the upper hand, mate :) Ryo «message me» 13:36, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
• WP:A11
  • it sadly isn't obvious to people viewing it from afar, that's why I'm trying to point out. However, if you have the slightest clue about east Asian history records you'd know what kind of a deep rooted conflict exists. As I've written on Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Ttongsul, I can't change the fact that you do not see a fulfillment of any of the stated speedy deletion criteria. So we'll just pull through with the AfD proposal :( ...you may delete this section after you read this if you want to! And no I haven't seen this until I read your explanation on the AfD project page, since I haven't received a mention alert. Ryo «[[User talk:Ryohka|<span
    • If it isn't obviously made up by the original author or someone they know then the article can not be deleted under A11 as that is the strict rule for this criterion. Ryohka, I don't usually ping someone when I respond to a conversation they started on my talk page. I believe if they want to see my response they will either watchlist my talk page or check back to see if I answered. GB fan 12:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect reading of policy for deletion of Manseren_Manggoendi

I have the correct reading of the WP:Proposed deletion policy. Read the Objecting section of the policy, specifically the paragraph under item #4 that starts with "If anyone, including the article creator, removes a . . . " GB fan 01:17, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Ryan B.Martin: Deletion as to why?

Why did you delete the page i was working on it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Nobodyknows (talk • contribs) 17:43, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

I deleted it because the article was about a real person and the article did not explain what is significant about that person. It had two sources, one did not mention him at all, the other mentioned him and said that he has an office next door to and works with someone who is notable. Notability is not inherited from working with or being close to someone notable. After you have read our notability guidelines, if you think he meets them let me know and I will restore the article to your userspace so you can work on it. Then when you show that he does, we can put it back into the article space. GB fan 17:52, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

hey there i'm trying to make edits to Bob Buckhorn's wiki page wondering why you are deleting the factual edits i'm making? i'm doing this on behalf of him.thanks
