Zachary Simons

On August 1 you deleted Zachary Simons as an expired prod. I didn't contest it (despite being the article's creator) because I agreed with the rationale. While I still don't think an independent article is possible, I'd like to undelete the article and salvage its content as part of an article I'm putting together on the Detroit Tigers' minor league organization (currently at User:Mackensen/Detroit Tigers minor league players). I don't think we need the whole machinery of AfD/DRV here, but I wanted to run it by you first before doing anything. Best, Mackensen (talk) 14:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Mikael Ljungman

Recently you elected to keep the article Mikael Ljungman based on no consensus having being reached in the deletion debate. This was despite the fact that the only two Keep votes are from a single purpose account obviously linked with Mikael Ljungman and an account that was created mere minutes before the vote was placed. I fear that the Misplaced Pages process for avoiding abuse of the encyclopedia for self-promotion by non-notable businesses is no longer effective if policy is now to keep articles such as this where the article's subject can sway the administrators so easily. --Fugu Alienking (talk) 03:19, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

User:DefensiveBlack/Homotown

I was wondering why you deleted this page. I noticed that you said it was an attack. I bewilders my mind that in the year 2008, people still use sexual preferences as slurs. I am a gay American. I am proud of who I am. I am stunned and appalled that you believe being called gay is an insult. Unfortunately I am only openly gay on Misplaced Pages. It is people like you that prevent people like me from being who I am. --DefensiveBlack (talk) 03:09, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Please restore List of Jehovah's Witnesses conventions

Please restore List of Jehovah's Witnesses conventions. I was just about to deprod it. I plan on adding merge tags to see where the editors of Jehovah's Witnesses want to put the data. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Hooray!

Please pop by the thread I created at User_talk:Dmcdevit#Hip_Hip_Hooray, as I believe you were the deleting admin. Hooray! --Dweller (talk) 16:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Zero Hour

Hey,

Are you the guy to talk to about the deletion of the Zero Hour article? I had a look into Notability (music) and find that Zero Hour fulfills two of these criteria, namely:

• Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Misplaced Pages standards, including verifiability.

and

• Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).

Zero Hour are *the* foremost Technical Metal band. As for the label, they are signed with Sensory Records, a label that features Gordian Knot (band), Redemption (band), Edenbridge (band), ARK (band), Spiral Architect, and which released Riverside (band)'s first album.

Because of these factors I respectfully ask for an undeletion of the Zero Hour page.

Thank you!

Further to this (I'm not sure where to properly reply to things you said on my talk page--is this okay?), I have reviewed the proposed deletion page and I did refer to the notability music page in my text above. I'm not quite sure what sort of work the article needed? The band *is* signed with one of the major independent labels (one of *the* most important labels in the progressive metal niche) and I believe the article stated that? I'm also not sure if I can view the article at all right now while it is deleted. I'm sorry I haven't participated much here on WP and thus don't know a lot of the rules or how these things are usually done. I was just checking the article earlier today to remind myself of the drummer's name and was shocked to find the article gone. So in short: exactly what do I need to do to help undelete the article? --Daniel Klein (talk) 19:43, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, alright, so: could you please restore the Zero Hour article? And once you have and I have had a look at it, would you mind very much if I came back to you and asked you what sort of edits it needs to survive? (Assuming, of course, the answer to this question will be non-trivial, which I assume it will be.) Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 02:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the restore! I've had a look at WP:MUSIC and the article, but I'm still not sure what I need to do to improve the article because it is my interpretation that it already fulfills the guidelines in that it states that the band is signed with Sensory Records and Sensory Records are definitely one of the major labels in progressive metal. I've asked for help with the Wikiproject Metal guys; I'm also considering to make Zero Hour's importance in Technical Metal (a subject which I notice still doesn't have a page here either) clearer. But I guess my first step will be to wait to hear back from the Wikiproject: Metal guys since they should know best. So I guess this is just to let you know that it might be a few days until I do anything to the article. Thanks! --Daniel Klein (talk) 15:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Great Britain at the Olympics

Hi, I believe you were the admin who protected the above page from editing. It appears the parties involved have resolved their dispute on the talk page, but they don't seem to have notified you (I think the user who said they would has since been banned). Could you now unprotect it so that updates from the 2008 Games can be made? Cheers Basement12 (T.C) 00:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Baklunish

Hello! :) In July, Baklunish was apparently proposed for deletion. It may not be a viable article on its own, but there may be potential to merge it into an article on Greyhawk. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? Thanks!  :) BOZ (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, sir.  :) BOZ (talk) 19:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Yet another in a long line of scripts (fast blocking)

addOnloadHook(function() { 
    if(document.getElementById("t-blockip")) { //Checks to see if there's a "Block user" link in the toolbox
        var block = document.getElementById("t-blockip");
        var blocklink = document.createElement("a");
        blocklink.href = "/search/?title=Special:BlockIP/" + wgTitle + "&wpBlockReason=]&wpEnableAutoblock=1&wpAnononly=0&wpCreateAccount=1&wpBlockExpiry=31+hours";
        blocklink.textContent = "(Grawp)";
        block.appendChild(document.createTextNode(" "));
        block.appendChild(blocklink);
    }
});

Enjoy. —Animum (talk) 18:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, question

I don't know if it was you, but the user name User:OpenBoxes218 has had its talk page edit protected. I understand that the user did a vandal-move. My question is; Why is their page edit protected? I'm a patroller and was about to leave a warning with Twinkle and of course it failed. Just wondering? :-) Fr33kman 21:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
