Hmm.. at a prefunctionary glance at your contributions it seems you havent added much content beyond AfD tags

and such related discussions.

Mind if you cool your Delete button for few fortnights?

Excessive AfD is as community damaging as vandalism and revert wars are.

I did not provide any bias opinions about the student organization.

Feel free to fill me in. I was trying to make this page to create an informational page about the organization.

Hello, Recently, you listed the article "Dr. Jeanne Bathgate" for deletion. You said that the school she works at was "baulkham", however, it is "baulkham hills high school". A Google search for the school returned 18,800 results, and a search for "dr jeanne bathgate" returned 291,000 results. If possible, could you please reconsider your deletion listing. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JRAHSsucks (talk • contribs) 06:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello,

I understand what you mean, and I apologize very much, but I am not a fan writing the article. I am merely familiar on the subject. I went through and made more accurate sources, but none of my sources go to a main page, except to show the newspaper and story.

I apologize, but I do not understand what you mean by zero notability. We are talking about a superstar whose career began with the song

You have flagged the article on Peter Kettlewell for deletion. You say he is non-notable and you say that Google does not turn anything up on him. You mentioned his credit on imdb, however, Mr. Kettlewell was not the man in question, as he has never worked on the show "Titans". Either this is another Peter Kettlewell in question or the imdb page is wrong. In fact, this Wikipedia page is just part of the process I have undergone to make the Holmes Group more widely-known. (An imdb page is in the works.) One look at the article I have written will show that he is not non-notable, in fact, he has had one of the most successful television careers in Canada. You may or may not be aware of this, but it is a difficult thing to do. As a producer for the highest rated program in the history of HGTV and as a Vice President for a company that makes millions every year, he is more than notable in the television and business fields in Canada. The reason for the lack of information about him is only due to work/ business items that outweighed the appropriate time to publish the article. Also, you said he was only nominated for a Gemini once, when he has won before. [1]

For these reasons, your lack of information on the subject makes you incapable of deeming this article non-notable. Please remove your deletion warning immediately. If you have any suggestions to making the article more Wikipedia friendly, I am completely open.

• I think maybe you should read
  WP:DR because this isn't the best way to talk to people on Wikipedia. Anyway, I read the link you posted, and although it appears that he did indeed win, I still don't know if he's 100% notable. Erpert (let's talk about it)
  06:27, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• • I was hoping we could have a discussion about the validity of this article's existence, but you have responded with no legitimate arguments. So I will just have to make my arguments better. Despite what you, again, "believe", I simply ask if you consider Mike Holmes is non-notable. If you think Holmes is notable, look at the facts: Peter Kettlewell has been an active part of the show since the very first season. Also, Kettlewell was written up in Report on Small Business Magazine which is included with The Globe and Mail, a national newspaper. [2] As you stated referring to ANYBIO, he should be included seeing as he is a winner of the only TV Award for Canadian television and it is one of the biggest awards in Canada. (Think the Emmys). I'm sure you would consider an Emmy award winner a valid entry for Wikipedia, would you not? Also, as I have said before, his profiles on imdb and a variety of other websites are in the process. If you want to talk like adults, lets talk like adults. Also, take a look at his TV page, and you tell me what's non-notable about these credits: [3] To avoid further confusion, I will now be chaning the article's title to "Pete Kettlewell" as a search for Pete instead of Peter comes up with more results. Also, see Holmes on Homes and Holmes Inspection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpencerJamesK (talk • contribs) 22:42, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Ramesh Babaji meets the criterion of "Creative professionals." He has extensively spoken on the spiritual philosophy of Bhagavatam [4] and Bhagavad Gita[5]. He is considered a renunciant because he has made available all his wisdom to those having interest at no cost [6]. Not many people in the world would have the courage to do that. He has single handedly inspired an effort to protect more than 10,000 stay cows from slaughter. He is inspiring a devotional movement among thousands and thousands of villagers of Brij Dham and now all around the world. He is also inspiring protection of thousands of acres of land from illegal mining.

These are among many reason why he should be considered a "creative professional" working towards the cause of protecting highly neglected environment in India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geeta.mandir (talk • contribs) 05:25, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Your nomination for the deletion of the article "Harihar ji Maharaj"

I am surprised that you have recommended this article for deletion. While other articles on much lesser known and prominent personalities exist. Guru Harihar ji Maharaj is treeted with great respect among his followers as the founder of Geeta Ashrams across the world, and Geeta Dham in India. A long list of names of world wide Geeta Ashrams is given at the end of the article. In addition, a long history of Harihar ji Maharaj's associations with leading political figures of Indian freedom movement is also given. The list of trustees of Geeta Dham is also provided as a reference to the article. If you visit many of the sites that are linked to the article, you will find the picture of Hariharji Maharaj as the leading figure for the particular Geeta Ashram, accepted even more than eight years after his death. The fact that an individual is being treated with respect more than eight years after his death is a testimonial to the respect he commands world wide.

It is because of establishing Geeta Dham, and sacrificing his life to preserve the spiritual philosophy of Bhagavad Gita [7] Harihar ji Maharaj should be considered a creative professional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geeta.mandir (talk • contribs) 05:39, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

• For the first article, the first link you posted doesn't mention his name at all, the second link is to Wikipedia itself, which doesn't qualify as a
  reliable source, and the third link is just a trivial mention of him followed by some video files. (The second article has the same Wikipedia backlink problem.) Erpert (let's talk about it)

I notice that you have proposed the deletion of this entry for a very self effacing, brilliant chemist.

I have known Chris for many decades, initially in the pharmaceutical chemistry field and latterly in industrial chemistry. I asked him to write a short piece explaining some of the more important work that he has done which has a significant contribution to ensuring we live in a clean world. Chris has always worked quietly in the background and generally has an aversion to any self-seeking or publicity of any sort. It is interesting that a person such as yourself seeks to eradicate any mention of him or his contribution to world science. He will be quite pleased to have his entry removed as he finds any acknowledgement of his talent an embarrassment. You say there is no mention of him or his work on search engines - I'm not surprised as this is quite deliberate on his part. If, however, you were involved in his area of expertise in either Europe or USA, you would find he is very well known indeed. It is true that he is not well liked either in Government circles (because of his work with Biofuels) or with Greenpeace and the like, who don't want power stations cleaned up they just want them all shut down. All of this is another subject and one on which he doesn't want to be drawn. I now have a different opinion of Wikipedia as it seems to be at the mercy of any radical who wants to suppress information that he or she doesn't agree with. A very sad situation. Geekiep (talk) 12:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

• I didn't propose this deletion; I simply agree with it. And why are you posting this on everyone's talk page? Erpert (let's talk about it) 05:20, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
  • I was advised that you proposed this deletion.
  • Your suggestion that two of the products mentioned were hoaxes will come as a surprise to both E-on and RWE together with other power generators who have purchased hundreds of thousands of tonnes over the last 5 years. If you want to act as the worlds policeman then I suggest you get your facts right. If this is the standard of information from Wikipedia then effectively all information published must be considered suspect and at the mercy of self appointed ill informed amateurs who want to pontificate on subjects they know nothing about.Geekiep (talk) 11:14, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

      17:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
      • I was advised by one of Wikipedias other self appointed monitors that you proposed the deletion. I think I am begining to understand exactly how Wikipedia works. It seems to exist as a vehicle to massage the egos of various non entities with little regard for what is useful, interesting or of note. Get yourself some sort of entry on Google and whatever dross you come up with is considered gospel. So called verifiable information seems to rely entirely on Google. In the case of Edgecombe and many like him, such detailed information is either classified or subject to commercial secrecy agreements. But, hey ho if all you want to read about is fiddle players and the like then Wikipedia is your goal. Do what you wish, I'm sure Chris will be quite happy to be rid of the lot of you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekiep (talk • contribs) 22:07, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

            • No, no, no, no, I never called HIM ignorant, It was simply directly to his comments concerning me being another user (over and over again).--Greg D. Barnes (talk) 02:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry there were no direct copyrights for the picture, I've put them with 'Sources' now. It was a little difficult because Skylar sent me the picture herself. So I guess the picture belongs to the one who took it and to Skylar as it belongs to her photo shoot. (Names of all the persons are on the page now.)

About the google results; maybe you should check out this website as well : www.crossoverentertainment.com

Looking forward to any other things I should add to the page so it won't be deleted.

  • No problem. Erpert (let's talk about it) 17:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

• Referencing me to the activism page doesn't sway me. The article is largely unsourced and unsupported and frankly, lacks depth. If we look at the dictionary definition of activism it says "The use of direct, often confrontational action, such as a demonstration or strike, in opposition to or support of a cause." The Theron article shows that she once told a TV celebrity show that she and longtime boyfriend Stuart Townsend would not wed until gay marriage is legal in the U.S. That doesn't reflect an active involvement in that topic. A statement in an interview does not impart active involvement in working for a cause. In comparison, when you compare it to the actual Activist section of her article, she has actively been involved in women's rights organizations and marched for abortion rights, animal rights and involvement in PETA, and various involvement in organizations regarding South Africa. That qualifies as actively supporting those causes, vs. a statement in an interview. That is why I don't feel she should be categorized as active in LBGT rights. It's true that there is no wide definition of what that means, but I somehow feel that saying something in an interview isn't the same as actively involving oneself in what is basically a political/rights movement. The article just doesn't support that inclusion. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:25, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

They have also been mentioned in publications such as Jersey Beat and Village Voice.

Hey, Erpert, just a quick procedural note. You recently performed several

If the nominator does not understand deletion process, you should assume good faith, contact the nominator to make the error known to them and ask if they will withdraw the nomination, allowing a speedy keep. This is better than assuming they don't know what they're doing and closing the discussion. Swarm^Talk 21:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

• I did contact the nominator. (I even said that's what I was going to do in that AfD's closing comments.) And that was another editor suggesting the nominator didn't know whats/he was doing, not me. Erpert (let's talk about it) 21:29, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I understand; the point is simply that the speedy keep was incorrect.

• • If the nominator didn't understand the process, you may be able to get them to withdraw the nomination, allowing a speedy keep. In other words, you can speedy keep based on the withdrawal, not based on the fact that you don't think they understand deletion process. I'm leaving this message just in case you're not entirely familiar with what the exact speedy delete guidelines are. Regards, Swarm^Talk 23:05, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
    • The nominator doesn't have to withdraw it in order for a speedy keep; check out #2 in this section, which was met. Erpert (let's talk about it) 01:03, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

This obviously isn't an isolated incident. By "I think you may have misinterpreted it", I meant, "You misinterpreted it". NACs should be 100 percent uncontroversial, so please be sure that any early closures are. Thank you. Swarm^Talk 11:11, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

    07:07, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
    • What sometimes happens is that the nominator, and anyone who has recommended "delete", will return to the discussion after sources have been added, and change their recommendation to "keep". In a situation like that, when there are no remaining "delete"s, then
      WP:SPEEDYKEEP applies. Sometimes they'll come back and say, "I've seen the added sources and they don't convince me." When the "delete" !voters are silent, we don't really know if they've seen the sources and are happy with the article staying or not. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)}

  WP:SPEEDYKEEP. The better way to have gone here, would be to go to User:Koavf's talk page and ask him if he would consider withdrawing the nomination. If he withdraws it, then the discussion would qualify for a "speedy keep". Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)}

• What was that[8][9] all about?? Both AfDs are still open, but you collapsed their entire contents, starting with the nomination and ending with the last !vote. Courtesy blanking is sometimes done after an AfD has been closed, but collapsing an entire AfD while it is still in progress is inappropriate. I reverted both of those edits. Nsk92 (talk) 10:38, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
  • I collapsed them because they were too long. Collapsing and closing are not the same thing. Erpert (let's talk about it) 18:51, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
  • Also, nowhere on

    18:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
    • Collapsing is basically done in one of the following two cases: 1) if a particular thread is already closed (e.g. at
      WP:AN, but I assure you that I am correct. Nsk92 (talk
      ) 19:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
      • Are you? Didn't I just point out to you that nowhere in
        WP:AFD does it say you can't do that? And people can still edit something that's collapsed. I do see where you're coming from; I just don't agree. And don't say you're correct when you don't have the guidelines to back your statements up. The guidelines you cited don't even mention those things. Erpert (let's talk about it)
        20:49, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
        • Look, if you don't believe me, ask at
          WP:ANI all the time". I suggest that you conduct the following experiment. Look at a bunch of AN/I archives and see examples of where something was collapsed. You'll find that it is only done to collapse portions of some threads in cases these portions get too far off topic or too heated (and, in rare cases, to collapse an entire thread after it has been closed). Collapsing is not done simply because a particular thread has gotten too long. In those cases people introduce a section header called "arbitrary section break" or something similar. Collapsing is done to hide from immediate view less relevant material.Nsk92 (talk

• I saw you cleared this article, and I understand your point. But try to look for information about the about protocol handler, or about the dvd or tv one.

I appreciate your closing of the Frank Novosel AfD. It should be noted however that I did not nominate it for deletion because I no longer like the article - I do like it, don't get me wrong. I nominated it because I felt it did not meet the notability guidelines set forth by those at Wikipedia.Alex (talk) 06:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Please, do not suggest WP:POINT. I know full well what it is and I am not nominating anything because I am trying to make a point. I am nominating things as an attempt to clean up the trivial articles on Wikipedia that have historically been deleted en masse in the past. Those who should be looking up WP:POINT are the ones who vote "keep" just to make the point that they don't want me doing the AfDs. Yes, I created the articles, but that was before I was fully aware of what might or might not be considered notable on Wikipedia. Hence, I have nominated these for deletion to save -random editor- the time of doing himself.Alex (talk) 05:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
