Gay Asians of Toronto Revert

Hi! I appreciated your input. However, I was actually trying to delete the some of the information on that section, since some of the editors think its coattracking. Let me know if this is a good idea or not, but for now, I want to leave it off and just provide the most essential part of the section which relates to the article itself. Good day. Looking forward for your response! Jana.borras (talk) 02:11, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

@Jana.borras: No problem, since nobody else has reverted I'll leave it be. I suggest making sure that you make sure you use meaningful edit summaries for all such reverse to reduce the chances they'll be mistaken for vandalism as in this case; there should be a setting in your preferences menu somewhere that'll pop up a warning if you forget to enter one.

Next Meetup Brisbane

Could you arrange a reminder about our next meetup Misplaced Pages:Meetup/Brisbane/9 this Saturday please.Kgbo (talk) 02:33, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

Alex Gilbert Article

Hi!

I was wondering if you can check out this here Misplaced Pages:Help_desk#Alex_Gilbert_Article. I have improved this article Draft:Alex Gilbert. When do you think I should resubmit to the Deletion Review? Thanks!

I have added and detailed all the references on the Draft Article below! I just need your opinion and help as I want to get this to the mainspace without it being deleted. Before when YES it wasn't notable for Misplaced Pages it was deleted. Though the article now has gone through massive improvements!

Thank You! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 22:39, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

@DmitryPopovRU: I'm not sure that I'm the best person to ask about this, as I wasn't involved in the DRV and I do have some strong views on this topic. Can you indicate which references are new since the article was deleted? Generally speaking it's not quantity that is the issue, it is quality. A single good source is worth a thousand brief mentions. Lankiveil 05:17, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Lankiveil I am still adding new references etc. The ones I have highlighted above.. most of them are new. The old AFD was from 2014. Thanks! --DmitryPopovRU (talk) 19:55, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

@DmitryPopovRU: At a brief glance they look okay, but I don't know whether they'd be good enough for the article to survive another deletion discussion, which is almost inevitable given the recent DRV discussion concerning this article. My advice is to park it in the draft space, work on some other articles for a bit, and come back to this in 6-12 months to see if the community's appetite has changed.

Hi Lankiveil. Could you please restore the reference format as the numbered fashions as I just edited? Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Transactivator (talk • contribs) 04:25, 28 November 2015 (UTC) @Transactivator: What are you actually trying to do there? Due to the lack of edit summaries, it looks like you're just removing the references wholesale from the article? Lankiveil 04:31, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
