Kinu, thank you for the fair deliberation on The Astute Recorder page.

I completely respect the decision of you and your fellow editors and am taking the Wikipedia guidelines into consideration for future possibilities.

Why did you delete the Retro Fox page? It's important to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFoxIsBack (talk • contribs) 01:03, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

• The article contained no assertion of notability. As a company, notability needs to be asserted and then demonstrated per WP:CORP. This is done using reliable sources. I was unable to find any and endorsed the speedy deletion. Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; "important to [you]" is an insufficient criterion for inclusion. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:41, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't want to be accused of hounding, so I was going to take Hamed Minhaj to AFD after a few days. Guess you were thinking the same! It appears to be a hoax or entirely unsourced. tedder (talk) 02:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi - I was adding an entry for Carter Jonas - factual and most certainly not advertising. It was deleted before I could include links to the sources: The Times newspaper being one http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/construction_and_property/article4407264.ece

You cannot argue that you don't allow companies to have an entry - as you list 'The Coca Cola Company'!

I await your reponse.

• The article as it was written previously appeared to be advertising, and it contained no assertion of notability, which is needed to avoid speedy deletion as well (see WP:CSD#A7). I would recommend adding as many references as possible to indicate why this company is notable. Also, your e-mail address (which I have removed) indicates a possible conflict of interest, so please tread carefully in editing this article. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Just a friendly heads up on The Media Kitchen. Per a request at WP:REFUND, I reviewed this article and can't see that it met either of the speedy deletion reasons you listed. The awards section is a claim of importance; although you discussed notability on the editor's talk page, importance, a lower standard, is all that's needed to avoid a speedy deletion. And notability may well be out there -- a quick gnews search gives articles in The Guardian and a number of others, such as AdWeek

I also can't see that it met A11 -- if your only issue was the client list (which I advised the editor to get rid of), that's a quick edit, not a substantial rewrite.

Naturally, you're free to take it to AfD if you disagree.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 20:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

• No worries. I suppose the client list was what led me to believe the A11 applied, although that is definitely removable. Perhaps if there was more prose in the article rather than lists, it would seem less spammy... perhaps an imperfect duck test, but it seemed valid at the time. Thank you for restoring the article for this user. I'll keep an eye on it and see if improvements are made. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:15, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
  • I've taken the liberty of whacking out the client list and adding some refs. Sadly, the best refs are behind pay walls. :( Prose is not my strong suit, so I'll leave it to someone else. :)--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:29, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the page called Americarpet. However, I believe that the article is unbiased, like it should be. All it lists is the services that Americarpet offers. Furthermore Americarpet has been in business since 1985, which should contribute to its genuineness. Please reconsider your speedy deletion and please answer back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AnotherHuman001 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

i dont really know how that works - i ve already tried to contact the user cplakidas, had no answer though .. can you please tell me what was the Unambiguous advertising ? inside the article is simply stated the nature of the company and the basic data as they are also mentioned in the company's webiste as well as inside other links i ve also referenced. there is no particular reference to returns of the products the company offers, nothing that states advertising.. its simply the company's page.. as there are others of the same sector, like eurobank and alpha bank that have active pages, mentioning the same data as we are trying to. please please tell me what you want me to do in simple english- u guys have phds here.. help us out -the little ones please!! thank you in advance.

• The article was tagged as promotional in nature, and after reviewing the deleted version of the article, I feel that this assertion was justified. Notwithstanding, the article itself is a copy of the company's own website, which violates copyright and would be deleted per WP:CSD#G12 anyway. An article that is not a copyright violation and clearly establishes the notability of the company from reliable sources would likely be acceptable. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Dear Kinu thank you for your answer. in fact it the article is a copy of the company's website - of course I wrote the article on the behalf of the company. Additionally I would like to tell you concerning the notability issues, I have attached many independent sources/sites and places where one can find information on the company. For example one of the references of notability was the website of the Greek Institutional Investors (http://www.agii.gr/) where all Institutional Investors in Greece are subscribed- as well as the company I work for. Please tell me what else can I do. I believed that the references I attached to the article were satisfactory as it concerns the notability issues. Could you please provide me with a hint as for what would be ok with you? thank you in advance,User:Didraki 10/16/2009 15:04 Didraki (talk) 12:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

• You answer your own question... "the article is a copy of the company's website." This is unacceptable per WP:COPYVIO. Use the references to create an article that is not a copyright violation and, if the subject is notable, the article will be suitable for Wikipedia. --Kinu ^t/_c 02:39, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

I am new to Wikipedia articles and was unaware of the rules. I created an article called Stanisław Pawlak. This is my grandfather. You can confirm that by emailing him [email protected] He asked me to create an Article about him. I was the one that helped him submit his CV onto the ITLOS webpage so in fact it is my work. Please tell me how to proceed as I wish to create the article.

Regards,

Jacek Bryniak Bryniak72 (talk) 04:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

• Creating an article in which you have a conflict of interest is not a good idea. Also, the copyright violation is because the text is directly lifted from that site; regardless of whether you posted it there, the ITLOS page contains the text "© ITLOS" in the footer. Besides, regardless of the copyright violation, the article as submitted was unencyclopedic, as Wikipedia is not a place to post a resume and a contextless list of publications, honorifics, etc. An article that contains sourced information from reliable sources and clearly indicates how the subject is notable would be acceptable. --Kinu ^t/_c 05:02, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kinu

I would like to create a page for the HAMS Harm reduction Network. A previous page for this organization was deleted for containing advertising. I have drafted a new article here http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=User:Pork_Chop_Tze/HAMS_Harm_Reduction_Network which I think is far better suited to an encyclopedia than the previous article. can you help me get it up and online?

Dear Kinu:

Would you take a look at my submission which was deleted as it was considered advertising. I have added references but the body of the article is mostly the same.

• The article contained no information as to the importance of the subject. As written, the article seemed to indicate that the individual is a magician of some local importance, and that he was inducted into a magicians' guild of some sort. If credible assertions of notability from reliable sources can be found, then the article should be rewritten, but as it stands, I saw no evidence of that. I hope this information helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:10, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

You recently deleted a page I created citing that it was a "group or club, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject" fair enough but I ask you how is this page any more or less relevant? http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=Cambridge_University_Boat_Club As far as I can see they're pretty similar, I added significant information about the club and a heap full of useful external links about Fencing. I am not here wanting you to reinstate my page, just to give me back the contents so that I can transfer it to a more lenient website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellyes4cress (talk • contribs) 22:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

• I have copied the article to your userspace as User:Hellyes4cress/Bangor University Fencing Club. To answer your question, the article didn't address why the subject was important, just that it is a fencing club at a university, which does not appear to meet WP:ORG. If references can be found that establish notability, then the article can be retained; however, links that are cursory in nature, merely about fencing, etc., do not help with that end. However, this information may be useful in a more general article about Bangor University athletics programs. (To be fair, the article on the CUBC contains an assertion of significance, i.e., CUBC is one of only five clubs which retain the right to directly appoint representatives to the Council of British Rowing.) I hope this information helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 00:18, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I have noticed that you deleted my page that I recently created. I was working on the page, took a break, and then decided to add more content but then: A page with this title has previously been deleted. After working on it for 10 minutes and adding the data in using Wikipedia's special format, it is shocking to know that the page I worked on had just been deleted with one left click of the mouse, the reason being: Article about a web site, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject). The content that I type in was fully related to the website and justified with significance to "master-alligator". I don't understand why it was deleted practically 5 minutes after it was created. Please explain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kpa4941 (talk • contribs) 23:51, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

I was looking at the Wikipedia entry for San Luis Obospo airport ( http://en.wikipedia.orgview_html.php?sq=&lang=&q=San_Luis_Obispo_County_Regional_Airport ). I saw that user "Kinu" had deleted the information for the fixed base operator "Pigs can fly" aviation, with Wikipedia stating:

This page has been deleted. The deletion and move log for the page are provided below for reference. 21:14, 24 June 2009 Kinu (talk | contribs) deleted "Pigs Can Fly Aviation" ‎ (A7: Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)

As a licensed private and commercial pilot, I can tell you that *some of the most important information* about an airport includes the references to fixed base operators. Therefore your deletion was extremely unhelpful. I also noticed that when linking to the "Kinu" ID that this person has received a number of warnings and suspensions for unwarranted deletions and vandalism.

Please consider not simply deleting something that you obviously don't understand the importance of. Fixed base operators are of prima facie importance and significance to pilots who use airports! (although possibly not to Wikipedia busybodies with perhaps too much time on their hands.)

Mike Lincoln —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.225.25 (talk) 16:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

• The entire contents of the article were as follows: "Pigs Can Fly Aviation is a flight school and aircraft rental company based at the San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport in San Luis Obispo, California." That's it. There was no indication in the article of why the company is important, which is why the article fell under speedy deletion criterion A7. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and as an encyclopedia the goal is to contain information about subjects that are notable, not "useful" or "important" as you are using the term. And yes, I didn't understand the importance of the topic because it wasn't in the article... perhaps instead of attacking my good-faith deletion, you could create an article that explained why the company meets notability guidelines? Also, please don't resort to personal attacks... calling me a busybody who is editing Wikipedia is somewhat ironic, considering you are doing the same in your posting to me, no? And, by the way, I just looked at Wikipedia's log and I have never been warned or blocked... I wouldn't be here if that happened as often as you claim, now would I? Thanks for your time. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:52, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello:

Why did you delete the Falcon Software page so quickly before I had a chance to make a revision???? It was added less than an hour before it was deleted! It was my first entry, and when I saw the speedy deletion tag and read some more, i assumed the main problem was the external links since there are many other Wikipedia entries about companies and their products. So, I went to remove them and it was already deleted!

Can I get the original content back to improve it?

Rwrowe (talk) 19:17, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

• Such is the nature of "speedy" deletion. :) At your request, I've restored the content of the article to your user space; it can be found at User:Rwrowe/Falcon Software. To ensure the article won't be deleted in the future, please make sure to indicate an assertion of notability for the company (see WP:CORP) using reliable sources and not just first-party information. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions. Thanks! --Kinu ^t/_c 19:35, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! I have revised the page by removing the extra external links, and added proper references. Do I just post it again or should I submit it some other way for approval? (I couldn't find anything regarding this.) Thanks again.

Rwrowe (talk) 23:52, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

If you feel the article is ready to go "live" (i.e., you've made the suggested improvements to it), you can use the "Move" tab up at the top of the page to move the article to Falcon Software. Keep in mind that the article will still be subject to scrutiny, so if another editor feels that notability is not established, it may end up at a deletion discussion. The key is multiple reliable sources to establish notability. I hope this helps! --Kinu ^t/_c 18:59, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

• No, the article was deleted because the subject does not meet notability guidelines, as was decided at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rodney Glassman. If you can indicate what, if anything, has changed since the discussion, then perhaps the article location can be unprotected. Also, it appears that you have no other contributions to Wikipedia other than various incarnations of this article; this is generally indicative of a conflict of interest, which would also need to be addressed. --Kinu ^t/_c 01:06, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

K. Rai Sahi

Kinu: Would you mind having another look at K. Rai Sahi? I've added content that I believe meets the notability guidelines. As far as the style goes, I've significantly reduced the last paragraph. I believe that the paragraph is necessary to provide an idea of the extent of the subject's corporate holdings, but agree that could have been pared down.

I deleted the same article when it was reposted in identical form later the same day as the AfD. I would havce said the same at the AfD, but it should have been relisted; there was minimal participation. It would need to be substantially rewritten to be acceptable. It is of course intended as promotion for a political campaign,but the 2 newspaper sources are real enough, and one of them might be independent. Another good one might make it. (This is part of the ongoing problem we are going to have with even minor US political candidates--exhaustive newspaper search will always show something. Newspapers usually cover local politics pretty thoroughly. If we continue to use WP:GNG for this we are accept that the bar will be lower than it used to be--perhaps we will decide to adopt a special rule . ) Wikipedia does not regard AUTOBIO as prohibiting an article--it's just that they are rarely acceptable articles even if the person is notable. An acceptable article would need to focus on the actual notability , which is political. The miscellaneous community activities are not significant--routine for an aspiring politician. (& if he actually wins the Democratic primary & runs against McCain for Senate, there will be good coverage, but that has not yet happened). The academic career is not notable either, and I cannot verify all the information in the Wikipedia article: in particular the " award-winning research both nationally and internationally": I see a reprint at [1], a conference paper in the proceedings of the American Association for Agricultural Education. But I can find no other publications. The Wikipedia article itself is a copyvio of [2] , which is not necessarily a problem because it's his own bio as a city council member for which he presumably can & would give us appropriate permission.

Here is a revised article that I believe meets your guidelines.

• Article moved to User:Mbellovin/Rodney Glassman as requested, to remove bulk from my talk page.

Hi there...

I'm interested in creating/re-creating a page for The Latimer Group... An attempt was previously made by one of my colleagues, but was deleted due to points G11 and A7...

We'd love to include a page on Wikipedia for The Latimer Group, but we're not sure where in our original post we went astray...

In reviewing the deleted content, I'm not certain what constitutes "unambiguous advertising and promotion"... Would it be possible for anyone to let us know either a) what, specifically, is the offending verbiage, or b) resources where we can research for ourselves how better to write a prospective entry so as not to have it flagged for deletion?

Thanks for your time, SlatersGarage (talk) 18:00, 19 January 2010 (UTC)Slater

• Your request has hints of conflict of interest. The best approach is to "wait it out"... if the subject is notable, then someone not connected to it will create an article on it based on third-party reliable sources. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:49, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Gay fish. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Thryduulf (talk) 17:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I see you have a cascade protected page, User:Kinu/UserProtect, used to prevent pages from being recreated. For your information, it's now possible to accomplish this by protecting the pages directly. Please delete the page, after protecting any titles which still need to be protected. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 10:10, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

As part of a project funded by the European Commission (QLectives), we are collecting and analysing data to study quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies in Wikipedia. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is available at this URL. Should you have any questions about this project, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your help! --DarTar (talk) 10:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Greeting, You have deleted my last article on vpyro.com for notable, I have made a new one and would like your review before i add more to it. [[3]] Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaymann220 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

• As other editors have indicated, there is no information about the notability of the site, and there are no references to indicate why the site is notable. If these can be found, then the article can be considered for inclusion. I hope this information helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 22:46, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi,

I have changed the bio for Alan Bell that you deleted, and I hope it's ok now. Alan Bell's bio can probably be found many places around the web as he pioneer within his field, and has been a presenter all over the world. But as for the bio that I was using, it was handed to me by Mr. Bell, which is probably the case with every other bio of Alan Bell that is found on the internet. So I can't see how this causes any copyright infringement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stela79 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

• I think the article in its current form is acceptable enough. I am somewhat concerned about your statement that the current one "was handed to [you] by Mr. Bell" himself... I would say that Mr. Bell is a notable enough individual to warrant an article, but disclosing any potential conflict of interest might be a good idea. Thanks. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I own the rights to Transitional Buyer and I tried to add the definition so I was able to define the Transitional Buyer Program, but you deleted it because apparently there weren't enough words in it to add it. The term is simple to define (although the Program required more clarification). Can you help please? Thank You. --Sadamec (talk) 22:40, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

• Can you explain what you mean by "own the rights" to it? The way I see it, this indicates a conflict of interest. Likewise, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and there needs to be more information and references about the usage of the term, etc. I hope this helps! --Kinu ^t/_c 22:45, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Kinu,

I am curious as to why my article for Evanston Coalition for Latino Resources has been deleted.

Please let me know what I should in order to have this info posted.

Thanks,

• The article was about an organization which contained no assertion of notability. Please see WP:ORG for information about what constitutes notability for an organization. Reliable sources must also be provided to indicate why the group is notable. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:11, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Kinu,

Why did you delete Eleanor Davis? She is a very important figure in the comic world for women as she has become very successful in her own right. She is an award winning author and illustrator and I think that makes her important enough to have a page so that people who are interested in her work can know more about her. I did an interview with her, so all of the information on her is accurate and up to date. PLEASE let this article be posted. It's very important to me, and to my work, as I am a promoter of womens' work, making information on the creators more available for the public. I am also writing a article on another comic artist, Miss-Lasko Gross, and I fear that will be deleted if this page on Eleanor was. Please let me know what I need to do to make this page stand. It's VERY, VERY important!!!

• Seeing as how you have chosen to recreate the article, I will instead comment on that. The article contains virtually no information that can be verified by a reliable source. A personal interview does not constitute a neutral, third-party source. Likewise, the claim that an award indicates notability must be taken with a grain of salt; the award itself must also be notable. I see that the encyclopedia has an article on the Geisel Award, which definitely helps. As the cleanup tag on this article (and the other one which you have subsequently created) indicates, references would be a good place to start. --Kinu ^t/_c 17:17, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I created a page about musician Courtroom Doll. But you have deleted it. Can you tell me why? Courtroom Doll (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

• The article contains no credible assertion of notability, and based on your user name there is an apparent conflict of interest. All articles on Wikipedia must also contain information that can be verified from reliable sources. --Kinu ^t/_c 16:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Why delete my article about a webcomic if you don't delete the article on XKCD (another webcomic)? Please enlighten me on how I don't have to get it deleted.

Thanks

LoftyD91 (talk) 16:38, 25 April 2010 (UTC)loftyD91

• The article contained no information as to why the webcomic was notable, and there are no third-party references indicating such. Also, it is evident from your user name and the information in the article that you are the author of the webcomic, indicating conflict of interest and possible advertising (as this webcomic was created just this month). The comparison to XKCD is completely irrelevant; that article is sourced and its notability has been established. I hope this information is helpful. --Kinu ^t/_c 16:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I was working on the Derryl Thomas-Holmes page, and it was deleted before I could add any "substantive content". I am adding the information from the link, did you check the link before speedily deleting this page?  — [Unsigned comment added by Mr. Nepalm (talk • contribs).]

• Since the article contained just the link, it was deleted under WP:CSD#A3. Of course, you are welcome to recreate the article, but the key is that some semblance of prose needs to be there when you hit the save button, and not just the link (otherwise it may be misinterpreted as spam). At least providing basic information, along with the reference, will be beneficial. I hope this helps. --Kinu ^t/_c 19:52, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Why have you deleted my page? "King Singh (Musician)"  — [Unsigned comment added by Roger Stead (talk • contribs).]

• I believe another editor has sufficiently answered your question on your talk page. Please see WP:MUSIC and WP:RS. Also, it would not surprise me if you were the same person as the original editor of the article, User:AlexKingSingh, as your first action immediately after creating your account was recreating this article in exactly the same form as the last deleted version (maintenance tags and all). This also indicates conflict of interest and possibly spam. --Kinu ^t/_c 20:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for deleting the images. Can you take care of the rest? That will save me some time. :) Theleftorium 20:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

• I'll gladly help, but I'm at a loss... you seem to be pretty quick at finding the true original sources of the images. What's your secret? :) I feel like poring through search results and/or the club's website will take me a looooong time! --Kinu ^t/_c 20:36, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
  • Heh, no secret. I just do a Google Search of the subject's name and I usually get a match on the first page. Anyway, I'll finish the rest. :) Theleftorium 20:38, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
    • Ha, but of course... if someone is going to upload a copyvio, it'll probably be from the first page of results. :P I've gone ahead and tossed the rest, so no worries. Thanks for your assistance! --Kinu ^t/_c 20:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
      • Thanks! Theleftorium 20:40, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I was using that website as a template to remind me of the information I needed to include. I visited this location in person a few days ago, so I know about this place. I did not use this text (only for visual information) and put in my own personal paragraph, but you deleted it before it could be saved. I now do not have a copy to re-input into the system. Could I have my information back so I can create my page again?  — [Unsigned comment added by Roundhere44 (talk • contribs).]

• I have restored the article as it appears that you are making a good-faith attempt to make the article not a direct copy of the source. However, note that merely changing a few words around here and there does not make it any less plagiarized; you should strive to write about the subject in your own words, rather than paraphrasing someone else. Thanks! --Kinu ^t/_c 21:36, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
