[edit] Speedy deletion of Geoff Burnet
Hi there, I've turned this into a redirect as you will see. Whether the band itself is notable is a matter for debate! If it poroves non-notable, this redirect can be deleted in due course. Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 13:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Looks like exactly the right call – and what I should have done in the first place. Thanks for the notification, and next time I'll consider redirecting first. 9Nak (talk) 14:52, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Shaw History
An editor has nominated Shaw History, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaw History and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm. I'm not sure renaming a page should trigger notification, but thanks ;-) 9Nak (talk) 18:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for adding the speedy delete tag to that bio article a minute ago. I'm still trying to learn all the various tags. Jasynnash2 (talk) 13:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Check out Twinkle for a nice interface that means you don't have to remember all the tags, although it can be dangerous if not used with caution. 9Nak (talk)
[edit] Dragonwings
Hi, I declined the speedy on this as it turned out to be an article about an award winning book by an award winning author. Not that you could tell from what it looked like on creation. Cheers, and happy editing! Dlohcierekim 13:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, that is an extraordinary rescue, one I wouldn't have thought possible. Kudos to you. 9Nak (talk) 16:36, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Stakeholder (general)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stakeholder (general), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Stakeholder (general).

[edit] Spencer willock
I have added a speedy deletion request for the article in question since it qualifies on notability grounds. The AFD debates tend to be reserved for articles which are more contentious or which have survived a speedy deletion request.
This is not a criticism, just an observation. Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 15:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- No argument from me. I was tempted to request a speedy myself, but I'm not entirely comfortable with my understanding of WP:Music, so I was looking for a second opinion. You came, you saw, you opined - problem solved ;-) 9Nak (talk) 15:34, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] deletion of Steven Springer
I've contacted the Suffolk County District Attorney, the Spokeswomen for the FBI, and Numerous people in his town. That is where I got my facts from which were posted. Can you point out what was said that couldn't have been? Thank you! NEWS12LI —Preceding unsigned comment added by News12LI (talk • contribs) 02:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia has a firm policy against original research and policy requires strong, verifiable sources when dealing with a living person. These policies exist to protect both Wikipedia and the people who are subjects of entries.
- In short, the research you did is commendable but can't be the basis of an entry. If you cited (preferably several different) newspaper articles from established and trusted newspapers (and preferably could provide direct links to the articles) that would do nicely, for example.
- Hope that helps. If not I'm happy to try and answer any other questions you may have. 9Nak (talk) 10:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of article Matshediso Mholo
Why is this article being deleted. Isnt the references there good enough?
Please let me know how I can improve it instead of deleting it, because everything in it is true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scm2008x (talk • contribs) 12:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- As best I can tell the article isn't up for deletion. You may be referring to the heavy edit I did on the entry. The one that attempted to bring the entry in line with Wikipedia policies. The one I notified you about, as a courtesy. The one you undid without explanation. Please, *please* have a look at the tutorial and introductory links I left on your talk page. 9Nak (talk) 16:37, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks mate!!! I have now read the tutorial, which i had clearly not understood well, and i have edited the atricle to bring it in line with Wiki policies. I am not a rud person, and i didnt mean to be rude. I am getting better with Wiki etiquet. Thanks mate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scm2008x (talk • contribs) 04:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
