04:09, 18 December 2014 (UTC)Hello, and thanks for all of your contributions to sorting AfDs! However, I'd just like to let you know that I reverted your sorting of Football on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Luke Marquardt and replaced it with a sorting to American football, as the article was about an American football player. -Fimatic (talk | contribs) 04:47, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Regarding your edit comment, I would regard Flutist as a small article with a fat list. (And I'm thinking of making it even smaller by shaving several of the superfluous "vs." examples.)
I placed the NOTOC as a kludge to get around the annoying dead space issue, which we're currently discussing at the Manual of Style. If you had any input, it would be appreciated!--Раціональне анархіст (talk) 08:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Deadbeef, I am just wondering why my Kirk Minihane page was rejected from Wikipedia. His co-hosts, Gerry Callahan and John Dennis, both have Wikipedia pages and Kirk is a local celebrity in Boston just as Dennis and Callahan are. Minihane's name is also unofficially part of the Dennis and Callahan Show on WEEI. Thank you! Lucy Burdge

You blanked the content of geographical Similarities between China and Bangladesh and then used empty as the deletion reason. This was the sort of cheating that only admins are allowed to do. The page was pretty harmless - you should have left the AfD to run its course. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:19, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

I've noticed that there's a lot of pages regarding NCAA Football Bowl Seasons and games that don't exist and probably should.

Greetings, Deadbeef. About the 2014 Music City Bowl, here, that seems reasonable to me. I've noticed one other article about this year's bowl games where the sponsoring company doesn't have its own article -- 2014 Quick Lane Bowl.

Hello I noticed that my article could be deleted but I want to say that I am the creator of Fallen Destiny.. So I don't really have references from myself since I'm the creator overall... So what can I do to prevent deletion over my articles? It is a indie project so its nothing huge as of right now. I hope to hear from you soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EHEBrandon (talk • contribs) 08:03, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.Your show does not seem to have attracted any meaningful coverage (think mainstream media or the biggest anime-related media outlets), and certainly not enough to clear that guideline. Information in articles is required to be verifiable, which means sourced. That means that, although you may be planning some episodes and have the idea for them in your head, it isn't suitable to make an encyclopedic article about them. As you don't own the articles you create, anyone could edit the articles to say anything, and they would be just as right as you since neither of of you sourced your claims reliably.
all articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.As you can see, the articles you have made are not verifiable, and have not attracted "sufficiently wide interest" to merit inclusion as if the shows already existed.

Abbythecat (talk) 22:58, 6 January 2015 (UTC)Hi, Deadbeef, I put the mention of the Star Wars File back on. I know it's unsourced. I don't know exactly how to source it. I have the fanzine, so I know it's real, but how can I source that? It's 2 pages (front & back) stapled together. Came out in early part of '77. Is dated '77 on page 1. Was written & self-published by Richard H. Campbell. Many fans bought it (you could only buy it from him). Perhaps other SW fans remember it. If you want to delete it again, fine with me. But it is odd -- I mean, I've had this fanzine since '77, I'm looking right at it now, but I don't know how to prove it to you. The front page has the words "Star Wars" cut out of a Marvel comic, if that helps. There's a brief "The Words Of George Lucas!" article in it. Some photos and some drawings from Marvel SW comics. I can give you the guys address if you want it (if he still lives there!) but should do so privately (in case he still lives there). It's printed on page 1.

This is important for the public to know as many people are being harmed by this cult organization that is simply money and power focused. Only about 5-10% of hundreds of millions of dollars raised actually goes to any form of charity. There is rampany tax evasion and also many accounts of shocking abuses. Please see the following links below. The organization actively tries and cover up the truth by trying to silence and discredit critics and ex-devotees. It's all about money and Bhakti business. This lady is but the latest in a long line of false "gurus". There is a great deal of news that is being covered up, yet since the publication of some recent books and articles, the truth has been coming out regarding this cult. See this info. If you google "Amma" and "Cult", anyone can see all the information on the internet. The organization tries to control media sources as well, yet there is now too much to cover up and people in the U.S.A. and other countries are recounting many tales of what is wrong from top to bottom with the organization. See the following weblinks as a small sample that is now out there:

07:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)Ohhh , I see what you mean
Well , I can explain.
See , if you notice , I did not make any changes to The Spanish version of the article
I believe I am making a constructive contribution to English speakers by showing how it is pronounced in English.
Spanish and English assign different phonetic values to the same letters , so "Zinancantan" , as pronounced in English , does not reflect its true pronunciation.
In Mexican Spanish , which is the way "Zinancantan" is written , the "Z" is pronounced like the English "S"
Seattle for example , would be written Ziatl , if Seattle were in Mexico and an American English speaker were to see this name , he would incorrectly pronounce the name "Ziatl" instead of its most accurate "Seattle"
Here is another difference :
European Spanish pronounces all "Z's" and "C's" as the English "th"
So , for example, in European Spanish , the name Zinancantan is pronounced "Theenancantan" , this is due to the diference of phonetic values that both countries give to the same letters in exactly the same language , lol
So , if Seattle were in Mexico , in Mexican Spanish it would very likely be written Ziatl , an American , instead of saying Seattle , would say "Ziatl" and a European Spanish would say "Theeattle"
Here in the US , when people see Zinancantan , they incorrectly pronounce the name with "Z"
The name is of Aztec origin.
In the very writing of "Aztec" , in the Us , we have a mispronunciation of the name , since in Mexican Spanish it is spelled as Azteca , American English speakers incorrectly pronounce this tribal name as A"z"tec instead of the most accurate Asteck
And that's the reason why , I wrote Zinancantan in phonetic values which can enable English speakers to more accurately pronounce this name :
Ceanankannttann , Cea as in Ceasar , nan as in nanny , kann as in cannabis and ttan as tanning
Being a speaker of Mexican Spanish , American English , and having direct knowledge of Nawhattle ( Asteck) and Tsoughttsell , inaccurately pronounced by English speakers with "z's" in place of the "S's" because of its "Tzotzil" Mexican Spanish writing, I have noticed that most difficulties of English speaking pronunciation of Mayan and Asteck names , comes from the lack of proper phonetic value arrangement of Mayan and Asteck names into English
Here are some other examples:
If Manhattan were in Mexico , in Mexican Spanish would be Manjatan , this pronounced by an English speaker , would render this name incorrectly pronounced , given the different phonetic value Mexican Spanish gives to "J"
Cuauhtemoc , the last Asteck king.
In Mexican Spanish is written Cuauhtemoc , if he had been from Washington State , his name very like would be :
Kwowtemock , Kwow as the "wow" in "pow wow" , "te" as in "teller" and "mock" as in mocking
Whenever I show this one , "Kwowtemock" to English speakers , they find it easier to pronounce and they pronounce the name more accurately than when they try to read "Cuauhtemoc"Yaotlacatl (talk) 08:03, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

05:47, 14 January 2015 (UTC)Hi. I noticed you recently relisted debate at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/With: Live Tour 2015. Could I get some advice over what it's going to take to get the debate closed? The article (written in December 2014) concerns a tour that doesn't begin until late February 2015. The article contains no information from secondary sources save one mention of its existence (the other three "sources" are the group's own websites) and is just a list of planned dates. The editors objecting to deletion are doing so because of conflicts with me elsewhere on Wikipedia. I don't see how this egregious violation of WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NTOUR continues to exist on Wikipedia and why the AFD can't be finalized. This is pretty cut and dry to me, and just because there aren't many knowledgeable editors interested in kpop doesn't mean we should have to suffer through this. If you could provide any advice on how to bring this to the finish line I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much for your time. :) Shinyang-i (talk) 11:57, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

18:30, 16 January 2015 (UTC)Hi again Deadbeef!
Looking at Minihane's cohost's pages, the references are also almost exclusively from the Boston Globe and boston.com, which are independent of WEEI and Gerry Callahan, John Dennis and Kirk Minihane. I have also used articles from these sources on Minihane's page. In terms of other references, I used the Huffington Post and the NY Post, which are entirely unaffiliated with Minihane. His cohost's pages also place weight on their controversies, while establishing how they are notable, as I have done on Minihane's page.

04:06, 20 January 2015 (UTC)Hi. You marked an article I was working on for speedy deletion. At first I objected but then I read up on better practices and I understand where you are coming from. I wonder, however, why it was necessary to speedily delete the page instead of marking it as an article to be considered for deletion. That would have given me a chance to weigh in on the subject.
If a band doesn't meet notability requirements can articles still be created for albums they have released, assuming they are on notable record labels?

Regarding your decision about my article on El Monstero, I respectfully disagree with you. This disagreement is based on 3 points: 1. Multiple times, I drew inspiration for what to write based on other existing Wikipedia articles, most prominently the article for the band, The Australian Pink Floyd Show. I kept the tone of the article as neutral as possible, given that it is reporting on a specific band and it's members, and therefore needs to showcase what they have done.
2. I included as much as possible in a short amount of time from reputable news sources here in St. Louis. This band has been around for 16 years now, but I've only been following them for about 2 years; consequently, my knowledge of the band it's activities is limited, which brings us to...
3. I wrote this article not for any personal gain, but because I believe this band has become notable in the Midwest region of the USA, and I'd like people elsewhere to be able to read about them. I noticed no Wiki entry on the band, and thought that if one was created, fans around the country could contribute and make the article bigger and better than I could alone.
I don't intend to rewrite my article; as I see it, it stands as is. I ask that you please reconsider your decision.
Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asml8d (talk • contribs) 13:56, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
authentic Pink Floyd concert experience(according to whom?),
El Monstero has become a holiday staple in the lives of St. Louisans(maybe to you, but that's still very rosy, unsourced language),
but also tweaks the audiences ears(oh, really.) None of it reads like a particularly neutral, encyclopedic article, but more like a presser from the band.

I have no clue why on earth the previous consensuses decided to move these pages to what they are now. People claimed that nobody says "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" and rather instead say "Star Wars". That's just really odd to claim.It's all just so ex post facto and ignoring the well-established consensus that you were never going to change any minds. No one is interested in arguing it at this point. Not now, not in a year, probably not for several. I'm asking you to please. Please, drop the stick. It's a waste of your time to draw up giant user subpages devoted to explaining why you think you were right in a single page-move discussion. I'll quote part of it here as I'm pretty sure you will never read it:
If the debate died a natural death – let it remain dead. It is over, let it go. Nobody cares anymore. Hard to stomach, but you're going to have to live with it.If you reply here again, it will be ignored.

I have come to realize my actions were disruptive and unprofessional; my actions were uncalled for and too soon. They were good-willed but unnecessary and tedious — possibly even dickish — and I'm sorry. I do realize nobody is going to be left thinking the official title is Star Wars and even if they do, it doesn't matter. I need to let it go for now. Possibly a long time. Like maybe even three-movies worth a long time.
Anyways, we got off to the wrong foot. This should have not forced me to "retire" although I did not. It should not be a reason for me to leave the community because it is downright silly.
I'm sorry. I hope you understand why I was so uneasy about this. I'm not the Jedi I should be But I hope more that you can forgive me and not look at me as a mischievous editor due to this. Everything I do, I do in an attempt to help. And I think I may have gone about it incorrectly. Screw it, I did it incorrectly.

Hello,
I am revisiting getting a Wikipedia article for artist, Malcolm McClain. Another employee submitted and it was rejected, citing sources are not reliable. I don't understand why the articles provided are not adequate....his contribution to his art is clearly defined. Also, as I find this entire process baffling and have struggled just to get the article submitted as a draft, why is he not notable. He is in his circle, albeit small.
I would very much appreciate some guidance.
