Speedy deletion of Wikipeda tags

A tag has been placed on Wikipeda tags, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, user talk or special page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a mainspace page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- IRP ☎ 17:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Nikola Mirotić

I noticed you've reverted my edit of the 2011 NBA Draft article regarding Nikola Mirotić twice. I consider FIBA Europe a VERY reliable source for the fact that he has represented Spain at youth level. Under FIBA rules, a player cannot represent a nation unless he has citizenship in that country. To quote the article that I used as the reference (emphasis added): "A player that can't stay out of the headlines in Madrid is Mirotic, an all-tournament team selection at last year's U20 European Championship while representing Spain."

Just want to let you know that Mirotić is indeed a Spanish citizen, as well as a Montenegrin. — Dale Arnett (talk) 05:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Harley Graham

Hey, thanks for noticing the problematic redirect at Harley Graham. Redirects can't be deleted via proposed deletion, so I've nominated it at redirects for discussion instead. Discussions for that redirect and also Alexandria Forrester, which related, can be found at Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 August 27; your input's welcome. Thanks again – Arms & Hearts (talk) 05:23, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Bob Pastrick

Basically same as above, prod removed. Try listing at redirects for discussion. Thank you. Rotten regard Softnow 01:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

List of Popes

Hello..

I added the blank spaces to the religious orders section so that it would be easier to read/understand. When I added the numbers they came up to 42. So wouldn't it be easier to change the totals to reflect the numbers, ex. Benedictines (17) and including Camaldolese(1) to Benedictines (16) Camaldolese(1). You could take out the phrase "and including" and move the bullet point over so that it would remain that religious order.

Pope Francis

Your unexplained deletion of the perfectly reasonable "See also" section of Pope Francis is not appreciated. It's hard to believe you're acting in good faith. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 20:01, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

April 2013

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did at Swiss Guard ‎, you may be blocked from editing. LFaraone 18:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Leon Sandcastle for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Leon Sandcastle is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Leon Sandcastle until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clardak (talk • contribs) 10:23, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Draft field in basketball articles

The draft field on NBA articles is not used to denote trades after a player is drafted. It just records the team who drafted them. Please stop adding the parenthetical statement "traded to Team X." Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 20:55, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, I'll revert any other changes I made with that. Natg 19 (talk) 20:56, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

no problem, and thanks for taking interest in basketball articles and trying to improve them. Rikster2 (talk) 20:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

I was not trying to express a point-of-view in this article about how the game should be played, but merely describe that committing a personal foul is unremarkable. If you have better wording or a suitable citation, I'd appreciate it. Spike-from-NH (talk) 21:34, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2009–10 Liga Bet

Your Non admin Closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/2009–10 Liga Bet without any rationale .I note that Daniel had reverted a non admin closure by MrScorch6200 and this ANI discussion and this most felt it was close call for a non admin and "Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to an administrator." applied.As it applied then it again applies now .Since Daniel reopened there has been only one more keep.Feel an Admin should close it with a clear rationale.Please note this request is only procedural.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 17:21, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Non-admins are discouraged from closing contentious discussions as per WP:NACD clearly states "Close calls and controversial decisions are better left to an administrator.". This discussion was closed by an Non admin MrScorch6200 and later reopened after a ANI discussion by Daniel and later its policy implications were in a Request for Comment and feel Non admin should not have closed more so without rationale.Having said I would state who do good work in WP:AFD in general and the issue is only with this particular closure.Would you consider reopening the discussion and letting an administrator close the AfD? I would greatly obliged if you reply.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:48, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

• I can reopen the discussion, but I'm not sure what the process for that would be. Is there a decision that you think should be taken on the AfD instead of "no consensus"? Natg 19 (talk) 21:46, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Ok, the discussion has been reopened. Natg 19 (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I have closed the AfD as no consensus. Chillum Need help? Type {{ping|Chillum}} 17:00, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Unreal (demo) AfD

You seem to have added a link to the wrong discussion (to the 2006 discussion, rather than the 2014 one) when closing the Afd. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:53, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks! I fixed it. Natg 19 (talk) 21:39, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Question...

• Is there a reason why you have relisted so many AfDs (in a single day, even?). Erpert 05:58, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
  • Sorry if that seems suspicious to you. I have been looking through some of the old AfD pages, and trying to do cleanup on them, and relisting AfDs that seem to have no consensus or have not had much discussion. Natg 19 (talk) 16:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Relisting

I'm really not sure why you relisted this discussion. The last relisting doubled the number of opinions in favour of deletion/redirection and there remains one editor in favour of keeping it. It seems like it was relisted because you didn't have the tools to close per consensus. There's no harm in it staying open until an admin comes along to close it. St★lwart 01:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Anthony Ilott

Hello Natg 19,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Anthony Ilott for deletion, because it seems to be an article that was previously deleted by a consensus decision.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. APK whisper in my ear 07:52, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I accidentally recreated this page somehow. I was wanting to close the AfD discussion, but as I am not an admin, I must've closed it as "not delete" and the page was recreated. Please delete the page. Natg 19 (talk) 07:54, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Sentinels of the Multiverse merger discussion

You took place in a discussion in which the decision to merge the Sentinels Of The Multiverse article with that for the video game port was taken. We are attempting to discuss this merger on the videogame talk page, and are seeking input from the members involved in the discussion. If you would join us that would be appreciated, otherwise, thank you for your time. Aawood (talk) 12:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Recent NAC

Please can you revert this and let an admin deal with it. There are very good reasons for doing so, a hint of which can be seen in MelanieN's comment. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 01:02, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

• Ok, I reverted it. Natg 19 (talk) 01:04, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks very much. The outcome may well be the same and no offence is intended. - Sitush (talk) 01:05, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Another recent NAC

I request you revert your NAC of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of bus routes in Singapore and leave it to an admin. Those wishing to keep this article have not made policy based arguments to justify keeping it. AfD is not a ballot. No consensus or delete should be the likely outcomes of this discussion. Regards.Charles (talk) 10:07, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

• Ok, I have reverted it. Thanks!

• Thank you. I have now been able to cite relevant policy.Charles (talk) 18:30, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

• You mean there hasn't been policy based arguments that you LIKE. Big difference. Nha Trang 22:07, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

List of Jet Airliners: Number Built

Hi, Natg 19. I am responding to your request on the talk page for List of Jet Airliners for source information of the number of each aircaft built. In each case, I obtained that information from the respective aircraft's English-language Misplaced Pages page, and I directly link the aircraft model to the page. Although you did not ask, this is also where I have been drawing my information for first flight, entry into service and end of production. I am now cross-checking some data with foreign language Misplaced Pages sources, i.e., French-language Misplaced Pages for French-built aircraft, etc. Will it still be necessary to provide a separate reference to each Wiki page in addition to the direct link? Please let me know. Mikepurves (talk) 23:39, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Vamsi Paidipally

Hi Natg 19, I noticed that you closed this AfD as "Withdrawn by nominator", and believe this may be a procedural error. Under WP:WDAFD, a nomination may not be withdrawn after there has been support for deletion. In this case, it appears that an editor had !voted Keep, but then changed it to Delete (See here). It may be best to undo the edits associated with the closure and allow an admin to close it. E _C K _S A E _S  01:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok, done. Natg 19 (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Your recent RFD relistings

Just curious... Why did you relist some WP:RFD discussions where one was about two months old, the other was about three months old, and have both been listed at WP:ANRFC for a while? Relisting these discussions could potentially slow down the process of these being closed; I mean, if consensus isn't clear after two or three months, it probably never will be. Steel1943 (talk) 14:38, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Oh, sorry. I didn't know about WP:ANRFC. I just thought that relisting would push them up to the top of the queue and garner more attention for these RFDs. Sorry if that made it more difficult for closure. Natg 19 (talk) 19:33, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

No worries, as I used to do the same, and then I read multiple editors' opinions about how it seems more plausible for an older discussion to just be closed, rather than relisted. Either way, since I understand you did those relists under good faith intentions, thanks! Steel1943 (talk) 21:47, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/JanusVR

Hi Natg 19. I wish to challenge your non-admin closure of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/JanusVR, which you closed as no consensus. None of the arguments for keeping the article mention policy nor do they provide any evidence of reliable sources to meet WP:GNG. Of the few reliable sources, the software is merely mentioned in passing. A Wild Abigail Appears!'s argument was that they googled and found a good amount of links, however those links are blogs, self-published sources, and forums. As such, that !vote should be discounted. I would like to request that you consider reversing your closure of the AfD, unless you know of sources that show that the article meets the WP:GNG requirement of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Many thanks.- MrX 14:41, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Ok, as I am not an administrator, I will revert my non-admin closure, and let an administrator close this. They can decide what the proper closure should be. Natg 19 (talk) 06:59, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you Natg 19. It never hurts to get a second opinion.- MrX 16:31, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Redirect of Once Upon a Time in The Soviet Union

Are you going to merge the information into the target article? - dcljr (talk) 00:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

I originally didn't see much to merge. But now, I've added some information about the book to the target article. Natg 19 (talk) 18:06, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. - dcljr (talk) 04:50, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/MaxTV - Telling It Like It Is

I probably should have asked this already ... who does the actual merging? —ATinySliver/ 01:40, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Any editor can do the actual merging. You can do it if you would like. Natg 19 (talk) 01:41, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. —ATinySliver/ 02:01, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Kirchner UN speech

I don't think that I meant to delete Kirchner UN speech. As far as I see, it's not at all linked in the RFD, except for one reference in Si Trew's first comment; it wasn't nominated for anything, and its only other appearance was Callanecc's specific request to keep it. Did I miss something? Nyttend (talk) 03:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

The redirect was moved while under discussion; apparently the mover didn't understand quite what was going on, as moving a redirect doesn't get rid of the redirect. As Si Trew noted in the RFD, creating a new redirect would have been a lot easier...At any rate, nobody specifically asked for "UN" to be deleted, so it ought not be deleted unless there's another RFD for "UN" that ends in deletion. Nyttend (talk) 06:19, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Backyard (disambiguation)

Hello Natg 19,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Backyard (disambiguation) for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Backyard (disambiguation)

Hello, Natg 19,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Backyard (disambiguation) should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Backyard (disambiguation) .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 06:33, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

WERD (historical radio station)

Natg 19, I've been slowly building this story. It once was named just WERD, but some radio station buff came along that couldn't see its historical role as the first African American owned radio station in the U.S. and is participation in the Civil Rights Movement. So he moved it to WERD (defunct). I do know how the text from WERD got into the WAEC articale. Thanks for adding the MAIN template. As the WERD article lengthens, the WEAC summary of its predecessor can shorten. As articles on The African-American Civil Rights specific to Atlanta are added, some will link to WERD. — Neonorange (talk) 05:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. There was a merge tag on WERD and WEAC and so I decided to redirect as there was nothing to merge to WEAC. Thanks for the clarification. Natg 19 (talk) 07:13, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Redirect of Minzy

I noticed that the page for 2NE1's Minzy was removed and redirected to the main group's page. Although I do agree with the deletion discussion that she has not done any solo work so far but she is the main dancer of the group and has represented the group in dance battles and performances. She has also done her own solo compositions. Aside from her activities with her group, she has also proven to be a very humble student despite her busy schedules. She has obtained excellent results in her college exams which is quite a feat for a Korean singer. I would like to request that you review the deletion and bring back the Minzy page. She has been a very significant member of 2NE1 for the past 6 years so far and her page shouldn't be deleted just because she has not released any solo albums. Thank you. Shovelqueen (talk) 15:48, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

I based my closure on the arguments on the AfD discussion. I stand by my closure as redirect, as she has not done any solo work or been notable for activity apart from her group. If you would like to further contest this closure, open a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Deletion review. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 17:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

ArpON page with reference

Hello,

I think that the references about ArpON are very util for the users on WP community. Can you describe why did you remove them?

Thank you.--Spikeyrock (talk) 11:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi User:Spikeyrock, I was following the guide here: Misplaced Pages:Citation overkill. It says that "A good rule of thumb is that, except for certain controversial topics, one footnote after a sentence is almost always sufficient. Two or three may be a good way of preventing linkrot for online sources or providing a range of sources that support the fact, but more than three should usually be avoided". Natg 19 (talk) 20:15, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Joe Rogan Experience

Not sure what to do here. You closed an AfD debate on Joe Rogan Experience as a Redirect which was followed by persistent end-run attempts by the main editor to the point it went to what I thought was a resolved ANI. Well the article was re-created yet again - this time as The Joe Rogan Experience (this after attempting to insert the entire list in the Joe Rogan article. So I tagged it, redirected it, and perhaps premature - am looking for guidance on further action.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:58, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation of Francis Popham on Hunstrete

I saw your good work disambiguating Francis Popham to Francis Popham (1573–1644) on Hunstrete, however are you sure this is the right one - the text says construction of a 17-bay mansion; however this was abandoned after his death in 1780 which doesn't fit. I note there are also Francis Popham (1646–1674) and Francis Popham (died 1734), so maybe this should be left pointing to the dab page? — Rod 18:52, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, I just repointed back to the dab page. Natg 19 (talk) 18:55, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Non-admin closure of an AFD

This was inappropriate. A non-administrator closure of an AFD should only be undertaken if there is a clear and overwhelming consensus. The AFD you closed had two delete !votes, two keeps and one weak keep. That is hardly a clear and overwhelming consensus. I have reverted the closure. Let an admin evaluate for deletion or relisting. WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 01:55, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Looking at your talk page, there appear to be a number of complaints about your use of the non-admin closure procedure. I suggest that you simply not avail yourself of this procedure until you are more familiar with the policies. There is no rush to close AFDs, and no need for non-admins to do it in any but the most clear-cut cases. Since you don't seem to have a clear grasp of which cases are clear-cut, you should best just not do it at all. WikiDan61_ReadMe!! 01:59, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

69th Infantry Regiment AGAIN; important

Without going through everything in the three years since I was confused by the two articles bearing this name, this recent merger determination with your name on it appears to have been made without understanding of the situation. I've now posted my appeal here on the Talk:69th Infantry Regiment (New York) page with a link to a similar appeal I made at the Talk:69th Infantry Regiment (United States) page. I've also made edits to the two articles themselves to try to make sure no one can be confused by the two similarly titled articles again. I am not an expert on the content of these articles but was brought back, brusquely and none-too-easily, today; a veteran tracked me down from my three-year-old post and posted this to my user page. I hope I've sorted it out correctly; I do know that the major source of my confusion three years ago has since been cleared up; I don't know if you want to be in the loop now but thought it couldn't hurt. Merger would be unfortunate, is my assessment right now. Some tempers are short, frustrations high. (An official hold on the merger? Just an idea. Don't know the process.) Have to hop. Thanks and cheers. Swliv (talk) 19:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Looking at this again I've seen how the 'merge' decision probably made some sense. But the length of confusion on this and the distinctions between the units and organizations (National Guard v. Regular Army) seems to argue for two surviving articles. It feels like a merged article would be more like a disambiguation page up front. And what would the merged page be called? "69th infantry regiments (various)"? I still haven't gone back to read the closed discussion on the delete/merger proposal. Later, I hope. Thanks again. Swliv (talk) 22:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Swliv, looking at this again, it looks like the two articles should not be merged. When the discussion at AfD was going on, the two articles had almost identical content, so it was assumed that these 2 units were the same. I'm not too sure how to deal with this either, but maybe we could remove the merge template from the page with a good explanation in the edit summary? Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 23:51, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Natg 19, thanks much. The identical content is what I saw and reacted to in the same way three years ago. Glad it's fixed now. As for the merge issue, I think it's pretty well on hold now. I will try to get to it further soon. I expect it's OK: I will want to link in this exchange here in the process 'over there'. Thanks again. Swliv (talk) 11:38, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

With a bit of trepidation and probably an excess of 'spelling out', I think it's all done. Templates removed. Thanks one more time. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 17:28, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the dab links! I'm not sure about the photo.Natg 19 (talk) 06:54, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Nice to hear a pleasant voice. Half of the folks I come across on WP are such grumps. Anything else I should do to improve the Pico articles? Wonderfl 07:26, 31 May 2015 (UTC)

Hai Dear Natg 19, I am a new Wikipedian (I do not know whether I can use it or not), I have one doubt. I have contributed few articles to Misplaced Pages and recently when I downloaded one of my article, I found at last of the pdf page that my name is last among the contributors showing that I am not the page creator. And after everyone's names! Actually I am the page creator, why it is like that? Is it Misplaced Pages's policy or other whose names or IDs appeared did like that? Why my name has gone to last? Do I need to take any special permission or be a member or what I must do? These are all my doubts and curiosities only. Please help me. If it so atleast my name should be in the first, for I am the one who wrote the article after spending a lot of days and working. Is it unfair?--Peter Thomas Olickal 12:27, 31 May 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olickal Peter Thomas (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you are the page creator, it should say that you are the page creator. I don't quite understand what you mean by "first" or "last". Natg 19 (talk) 06:59, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Thank you so much ....

Thank you so much for disambiguating the links to Spring Awakening (musical), in navboxes, after I moved the article. I was thinking about doing that but it looked a bit overwhelming and I forgot. Thanks again, nice work! Softlavender (talk) 02:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

edit warring

Please stop ignoring Misplaced Pages's threevert/edit warring rule. 2015 NBA draft players have not signed. Just because they are drafted doea not mean they are signed. This is your last warning. You will be reported. Toeknee44 (talk) 16:42, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice. I did not know that we were not supposed to put the "team" until they have signed. I will refrain from doing so until there is confirmation of their signing. Natg 19 (talk) 16:44, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
