Message from EuroCarGT

Greetings Metropolitan90! I've seen your !vote on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Ishantpahwa8, a page a nominated for deletion. I've seen you added per WP:BITE..., I just wanted to let you know that I wasn't trying to 'bite' the user as I have no clue which user is new or not as I don't observe and monitor every user's join date. I just monitor recent changes and see pages that sets flags. Regarding the harmless userpage... part, I relate to WP:UPYES. Just to note I always try to be positive to all users and thanks for your contributions. Best and kind regards, ///EuroCarGT 04:40, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Before nominating a userpage for deletion, I would suggest looking at the page history [1] which indicates that this page was created less than 90 minutes before it was nominated for deletion. You may also want to check the user's contributions (Special:Contributions/Ishantpahwa8) which indicates that this page's creation on 4 August 2014 was the user's only contribution (they hadn't edited anything else before creating this userpage). And, if there was still doubt, the user's log (Special:Log/Ishantpahwa8) indicates that the account was also created on 4 August 2014. There are some other userpages which are currently being considered for deletion, which are also harmless, but I haven't stepped in to recommend "keep" for them because those users have not edited Wikipedia in months or years. But for a new user, I did feel the need to step in. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:19, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Alrighty! I'll deeply observe into the user's contributions. Best, ///EuroCarGT 04:05, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion decline

Hello. Could I ask why you declined my speedy nom of User:Andy Fiore? I thought it was pretty clearly in WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:UP#PROMO territory. I've nominated lots of similar user pages in the past and they were deleted. --Drm310 (talk) 16:35, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

  • WP:UPYES allows a "small and proportionate amount of suitable unrelated material" on a userpage, and I didn't see the page as being promotional enough to be problematic. I interpret WP:BITE to discourage the idea of deleting a new user's userpage as the first thing that happens to them on Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:23, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
I guess I interpret that part of the userpage policy differently. I still think that the content is unduly self-serving and contrary to WP:NOTWEBHOST, including some subsequent IP editor changes. I've inserted a {{userpage}} template with noindex=yes, so at least it isn't indexed by search engines. --Drm310 (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Happy Town (musical)

Sorry for my incorrect speedy nomination of this article. For future reference, does the mere existence of a performance make it notable? Meters (talk) 18:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

  • I would classify a musical like this to be a literary work like a play, rather than an event, and thus not eligible for WP:CSD#A7. I am not saying the musical is guaranteed to be notable -- I couldn't find any relevant notability criterion or common outcome -- but being a Broadway production is at least an assertion of notability that should enable the article to get past speedy deletion. If deletion is appropriate, that should be done via WP:AFD instead of speedy deletion so that its notability can be considered. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up. And yes, I should have asked "Is mere existence of a performance a claim of notability?" Meters (talk) 18:47, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
If the performance was on Broadway, as this one was, then I personally would consider that to be a claim of notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:06, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Npk Twice, third, fourth, fifth ... etc

Hi Metropolitan90,
By my count Npk Twice has now been deleted, under just that particular pagename, about seven times. Thanks for zapping it! --220 of Borg 05:30, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

... and it has been re-created again NPK Twice, could you please delete and create protect. Thanks, JMHamo (talk) 16:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Thefederalist.com

It was a content dispute/edit warring between auto-confirmed editors. I wasn't about to block all the editors. If you feel that it needs removing then make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for reduction in protection level. Make sure you mention and link to this so you can show that I've seen and responded to your comment and don't mind if another admin removes the protection.

Revert

Please explain Why do you think we should keep this vandal's talk page? If you respond here, please use {{Ping}}. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:10, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

  • @Koavf: You had tagged the talk page only with {{delete}} which generates the message, "This talk page may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, but no reason has been given for why it qualifies." If there is a reason the talk page should be speedily deleted, please feel free to renominate it, but WP:CSD doesn't say anything I can find that says that a vandal's user page ought to be speedily deleted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:15, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Deleted Article

Hello user:Metropolitan90 I created an article and was very uneducated on how this site works. I had put a lot of work in the article but didn't realize I had gone against copyrights (wont happen again) before you deleted it. Is there anyway you can reactivate the article and I will change the title/contents etc as it will take a long time. The article was How did microsoft become the successful company that it is today? -i'm not really sure how to see replies on here but you can email me at jscha034@odu.edu or my user name is user:Jscha034

Speedy deletion nomination of Praveet Dara

Hello Metropolitan90,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Praveet Dara 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. NHCLS (talk) 17:23, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Assistance with user page

Hi, I picked a random admin, but User:Dhwani.sreenivas has a user page that has a lot of personal information. I've informed the user. I couldn't find a specific CSD tag for it, but it seems like it doesn't belong. Delete? Blank and revdel? Thanks! — kikichugirl inquire 06:56, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Discussion of interest to you

You were a discussant at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Cloutier which (somewhat strangely) closed as a delete with 5 delete and 4 keep responses. The article has since been recreated through the WP:AFC process and a speedy deletion was contested. Thus, I call your attention to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Cloutier (2nd nomination).--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 23:11, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Please restore Seizure (journal)

Greeting Metropolitan90. Please restore the article Seizure (journal). I placed the G7 tag in error. I was trying to tag my sandbox copies and didn't realize I had been redirected and wound up tagging the published article by mistake, Doh! I am sorry to have created extra work, thanks for your contributions. - - MrBill3 (talk) 05:02, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

Db-spamuser

Hi,

I'm confused about this. Appears to me a clear-cut G11/spamuser CSD, especially given every one of the user's edits have been to add information about himself and his company to Wikipedia. What am I missing/misunderstanding? --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:10, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

  • My tendency is to be somewhat lenient about what a user has on their own userpage per WP:UPYES; there isn't a fixed rule about where limited autobiographical content crosses the line into self-promotion. The fact that the user has tried to write about himself on mainspace pages where doing so was inappropriate doesn't mean that we have to prevent him from writing about himself on his user page where doing so is appropriate. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:40, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Dalmatia

The end result will be the same whether El saul loik saupra la dalmazia nua is deleted speedily or not, but, FYI, when the same author asserted that this Dalmatian nationalist movement (Dalmatia being part of the Balkan Peninsula) was staking its claim to a land, Stato Dalmata Fiume de Yaur, in the Western Sahara, it was awfully obvious to me that the whole thing was a gag. —Largo Plazo (talk) 04:51, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

The Jerusalem Biennale - thanks!

Thanks for reviewing my Speedy Deletion request for The Jerusalem Biennale - I can see in this case I probably didn't give the article creator time to develop reliable sources - a quick Google does show that the subject is likely to be notable (although, this being far from my specialist area, I don't feel I can help much further in developing the article, although I've given it a more suitable title!). Thanks again! Mike1901 (talk) 18:28, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

About the speedy

Hi hi hi can you please look at this: User_talk:Jeraphine_Gryphon#Question_for_administrator, it's related to the "list of..." speedy you declined; I do have a "help me" tag on my talk page but I'm not sure how often anyone checks those things. Basically I screwed something up and I need admin help. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi

Hi, why you have declined my request for deletion? Matiia (talk) 02:27, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

  • That would have been for User talk:Hansle16, which has already been deleted by another administrator. I didn't see a problem with someone having one external link on their user page, although Hansle16 had posted that link on their talk page. So I moved the link to their userpage and notified them on their new user talk page. User:Gogo Dodo later deleted both pages and blocked Hansle16 on the grounds that Hansle16 was a spambot. But I hadn't known about that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:59, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
There were several HansleNN accounts spamming with their user page earlier today. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:17, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

home field advantage

Ah ha! "Walker made headlines when he suggested that he might pass over the Florida primary, one of the first winner-take-all contests, because the home-field advantage for Bush and Rubio would be too strong."[2] Now frankly, in all seriousness, I really don't care if we link to that in mainspace or not. I did think of you, when I read that sentence, though, and got a smile out of it.  :-)

So... my real purpose in coming to usertalk... do you like the newly-adjusted layout-style #1C? Or at least, like it enough that I can start converting the other candidates to match? Thanks. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 07:36, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

  • The formatting is fine, but I would recommend making the biographical information at the start of each entry shorter rather than longer. We don't need a complete resume of each candidate and their family in these entries. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 12:40, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Okay, I will convert the others. Agree we should avoid history of everything candidate has ever done. I thought about removing the grandfather-was-Senator, but ended up leaving it in. I think the other candidates will have shorter entries, except for Rand Paul who will also be relatively long-winded because of his family. I'll give the sentences a shot, please as always feel free to tweak/edit/etc where I don't quite hit the nail on the head. Thanks for the help, I like the new layout, talk to you later. 75.108.94.227 (talk) 22:42, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
