[edit] First Geography Congress, Turkey

Perhaps you can explain to be why that geography congress is notable. Almost every individual congress brought up for deletion at AFD has been deleted, except for a very few very famous ones that are discussed in histories of the subject. The feeling is different about conference series -- if there are more, could you fight out and adjust the article ?DGG (talk) 18:25, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm definitely not an expert, but my understanding (based in part on talking to someone who knows a lot more about this than I do) is that this wasn't a cogress in the sense of a bunch of academics getting together and presenting papers. What it apparently was was a government-backed meeting of Turkish geographers to decide how the relatively new Turkish nation-state was to be perceived from a geographical point of view. So they did things such as (as mentioned in the article) defining the official geographic regions of the nation. As such, the congress has, in fact, been discussed in histories of the making of the modern Turkish nation-state. Klausness (talk) 13:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Railway stations managed by Southern

Please can you stop adding this, and discuss it on WT:RAIL? Thanks, --RFBailey (talk) 16:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I was creating a category to replace List of railway stations managed by Southern (per a suggestion in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of railway stations managed by Southern). I've added a note about this to WT:RAIL, per your suggestion. Klausness (talk) 17:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Theanine

Theanine is known as Suntheanine in vitamnwater b-relaxed. I am undoing 1 revision of your edit. You cannot rely on IPs being WACKY INFLATABLE ARM TUBE MAN salesman. 98.227.189.232 (talk) 23:28, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but Suntheanine® is clearly a trademark, not a generic name, as indicated by the ® symbol. Also, the label of a bottle of vitamnwater b-relaxed (whatever that is) is not a reliable source. In any case, this is all moot, as someone else appears to have already reverted your edit. Klausness (talk) 11:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of nontheists

Restored. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 16:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I think they are all back. Sorry about that. Thanks for the quick and patient message. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 16:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Glad I was around to respond when you contacted me. Let me know if/when they are ready to go. --Kukini ^{háblame aquí} 17:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Argument from poor design

Hi, Klausness. I notice you removed the prod tag at this article. Could you elaborate a little on your reasoning? You equated "argument from poor design" with "dysteleological argument," but to me there seems to be a relationship, but not an equivalence. For example, it wouldn't seem appropriate to merge AFPD with Dysteleology. Can you say what makes you believe AFPD is notable? I couldn't find any references to the phrase as a serious concept outside of Wikipedia and its mirrors. Thanks, Gnixon (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll look into things further. Gnixon (talk) 20:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brazilian articles

I'd like to know why you removed my deletation request from all these useless articles created by Skanter.

We already explained that these Scottish Brazilian or Belgian Brazilian articles were ridiculous, because these people make up a very small population in Brazil. Opinoso (talk) 16:32, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
