wikify!

Slovenly is a word I find myself using quite a bit at the moment. Slovenly is what I think of anybody who leaves a message here about an article and fails to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it? Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it.
I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate, has no heading, is in the wrong place on this page, has not been signed with ~~~~, is anonymous, etc.
And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...

Center of Government

Hi, this is regarding the deletion of Center of Government, which you considered duplicated the page "Government". As the many references included in the page showed, this is a separate concept, as it is referring to a separate "thing" (not the government in general, but only those institutions that provide direct support to the Chief Executive -i.e., Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry of the Presidency, etc.). There is a bunch of academic literature on this topic (cited in the deleted page), and many international organizations (OECD, World Bank, IADB, etc.) have projects about it (they were also linked in the page). I'm not sure what additional sources could be needed to show that "Center of Government" and "Government" are, in fact, different things. The content of the page was completely different. Please let me know your views on this. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrinkTheKoolAid (talk • contribs) 20:23, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

  • I have restored this to User:DrinkTheKoolAid/Center of Government. Please note the summary to this edit: restoring speedy deletion tag, since the creator of the article has declined the option of editing in userspace, and instead has re-created the article here unchanged. By all means improve this article but do not move or, worse, copy&paste it to mainspace. If it gets approved, someone else (like me) will move it for you. Seek approval for this article either at talk:government or deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
    • Dear RHaworth, I don't think that speedy deletion was appropriate in this context. The article might be worth a merge, and it's not obvious (to me, at least) that it's duplicative of government. In any event, I think wp:a10 is only for cases where the text is literally identical, or nearly identical, to another article, and it found under another name that is not a viable redirect. I take issue with your deletion, and would like you to put it back. If you want, you can put it up for AfD after restoration, but if you do, I will be voting to keep or merge. -- Y not? 20:22, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
It was appropriate, but it's already here anyway. Stop pestering :-) DP 20:38, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Care for the Wild International

You have speedily deleted the article I created this morning despite the fact that it did not, in my view, fall among the criteria for speedy deletion. Criterion A7 states "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance" and the article stated at that time it was tagged "Care for the Wild International is an animal charity, a non-governmental organization established in 1984 and based in the United Kingdom. Its stated aim is to "rescue, protect and defend animals in need around the globe".[1] It was therefore incorrect to tag it for speedy deletion on the basis of criterion A7 as, "if the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied".

By the time you deleted the article it explained that this international charity had an annual income of £700,000 and I had found two outside references beside the charity's own website which I had added. I am amazed that you thought it appropriate to speedily delete it. Shocked really. It's not that I had a particular interest in the subject, but that you chose to delete it in such a cavalier fashion without any discussion. Perhaps you could explain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:43, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

I have added references to further secondary sources and returned the article to mainspace. Thank you for your help. (I do not think it was correct to speedily delete the article under criterion A7 but I have no wish to pursue the point.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:00, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Cambridge Institute of International Education

Hello, I was hoping you could help me edit the page I tried to create so that it successfully meets all of Wikipedia's guidelines. The page I am referencing is titled The Cambridge Institute of International Education. From my understanding, the page was deleted because I borrowed the description from our website (which, incidentally, I also wrote). Assuming I create new original content for the Cambridge page and cite this s Wall Street Journal article], would the article meet the requirements? Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

Heather Cooper

I would respectfully request that you reinstate Heather Cooper which you speedily deleted. The justification was not sufficient, in my mind and I said as much on the talk page. — Verne Equinox (talk) 21:43, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of User Page .digamma/null

You have chosen to delete my user page, [[.digamma/null]] (.digamma/null) under the authorization of policy G1. Patent nonsense (CSD-G1). It appears this deletion was an error according to a noteworthy exception identified within the specifics of this policy: "This excludes the sandbox and pages in the user namespace". As such, this particular deletion falls outside the authorization afforded by the CSD-G1 policy.

Additionally, acceptable content on User Pages allows for draft works, works intent for future research, and original work. User Page content prohibited includes excessive original work, pages that look like project pages, pages that violate copyright, and blogs. My user page would classify as an essay, notably similar to Keφr's essays. My user page was also not a high profile article and doesn't pose a threat to other readers.

I was surprised to discover this deletion was not discussed on my user talk page before deletion. As explained by practices for deleting other's user pages, I feel this was an attack, lacking this discussion prior to the actual deletion ("Take special care to speak appropriately and explain the concern; many users will take it as a personal affront or attack if an unknown user announces they are going to delete a userspace image or page and an uncivil or heavy duty approach can discourage new users who are unaware of expectations and might enjoy contributing.") and poignantly lacked the good faith stewardship practices of Wikipedians. I realize the Speedy Deletion policy indicates deletion could occur immediately. However, based on the policy for deletion of other's User Pages, it appears discussion is necessitated prior to deletion. I can confirm that I received notification of the speedy deletion tag on my user page promptly from Wikipedia's mail servers due in part by my profile's notification preferences.

In conclusion, I formally request that my user page be restored from the deletion archive or offer an explanation as to why this deletion did not apply to the CSD-G1 exception, violates the Wikipedia User Page content policy, is high profile/visibility, and how it differs from Keφr's essays. — .digamma (talk) 00:20, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

  • It was just a deletion - there is no need to write an essay here about it. You admit that the article was an essay and I could not see how it served any encyclopedic purpose. I recommend you publish it on your own website. If you really insist on trying to publish here, raise the matter at deletion review. As to Kephir's essays - other stuff exists is never a valid argument. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:17, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

I am getting alert from your to delete my page

Please let me know why you have deleted my page ILead Kolkata. please let me know. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajuseoindia (talk • contribs)

  • Are you doing paid editing? You have submitted spammy articles on two completely different subjects. ILead Kolkata was blatant advertising with no attempt made to provide evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)

Network Time Foundation

Wondering why Network Time Foundation was deleted? I am a new user to Wikipedia and have not created content before...as far as I could tell, the information I entered met the guidelines. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by CynthiaL75 (talk • contribs)

  • What next: an HTTP Foundation or an SMTP Foundation? NTP is such a vital part of the internet that it does not need special support and certainly not being raised to iconic status. After I had deleted the article, I had a look at your website and thought "what pretentious rubbish". Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your foundation is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:40, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
