About my "Bettina Varde"´s article. This is an article about argentinian actress Bettina Varde. I wrote the original article in spanish with data and pictures given to me by Mrs.Varde herself. There are articles about american actors and actresses in spanish and english. Also it´s logic to write an article about spanishspeaker actors, actresses, novelists, politicians, etcetera in both languages, spanish and english. If an american movie or american performer has the right to got an article in two languages, latin people has the same. Mrs. Barde is known in Argentina and some other countries. She was interviewed by Playboy Magazine argentinian edition. Also was a centerfold in other issue. If wikipedia lets pages about "hollywood stars" in spanish. Why people born outside englishspeaker countries are forbbiden in english wiki? Is that not a discrimination? Excuse me if you don´t understand my poor english. I am trying to do my best. Best regards. Rene--Rcbatman (talk) 18:38, 3 January 2010 (UT

I have no personal conection with Mrs. Varde. I just contact her to ask her a few pictures and biographycal data confirmation. I never saw Mrs. Varde in person despite we live in the same country. Rene --Rcbatman (talk) 18:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a real person that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Tony, how can I explain the significance of my article? An actor who is important in some countries could be not in other. For example: an article about Diego Maradona... this person is important around the world to the football viewers. So, despite I am argentinian like this guy, from my point of view is nothing.

Maradona is a bad person, a bully, a disgrace for my society. Is the kind of person to forget! Probably you don't know Mrs. Varde, but she is very known in South America. So, I not include the argentinian Playboy Magazine cover of her, neither the centerfold. It´s not the purpose of my article to show her as a playmate. By these days she is working for benefit of Orphans and houses for minors without parents. Have a nice day and year 2010! --Rcbatman (talk) 19:30, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I will not address the ridicules claims of discrimination other than to say there is no discrimination in requiring articles to meet Wikipedia criteria for

notability

. In addition, I have no idea about what you are getting at concerning Maradona.

The bottom line is the individual in the article appears to fail the criteria in

notable. ttonyb (talk

) 00:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Can you tell me how can I prove that the object of my article is "notable" ? The point is: Why Maradona is "notable" and Mrs. Varde is not ?(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maradona) Maradona is not an artist. Not a doctor, a writer, or a politician. I use it like an example. Why Maradona is "notable" ? He is not an important person. It´s only a guy who shoot a ball. Mrs. Varde is conected to clasic dance and Colon Theatre. Can you help me how can I prove than an artist is notable ? At last is more important than a football player. Best regards. Rcbatman (talk) 03:39, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

To prove notability you need to meet the criteria in

reliable resources

and therefore the article subject is considered notable.

The first sentence of the WP:RY current year format, I "stole" from the 2005 article from that year. Here's what the 2005 article looked like then: 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar and is the current year. Continental738 (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, on the Pamela Taylor deletion discussion page, you made some unsigned comments. Could you please sign them.--Abebenjoe (talk) 18:48, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Done, thanks for catching that. ttonyb (talk) 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

OK, I didn't realize it could be tagged. Since that edit was the only edit that IP Address made, I assumed vandal, i.e. vote stacking.--Abebenjoe (talk) 15:35, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I have to agree with you that it probably is stacking, but the reviewing admin will most likely ignore the "vote" since it does not provide any support or reasoning. The SPA tag should also help ID an issue. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey how's it going?

Shouldn't the fact that this division won Middle East's Leading Travel Management Company in the world travel awards make it noteworthy? Also, I am about to add that Gulf Ventures also won UAE's Leading Destination Management Company in the World Travel Awards. Both accolades zoom in specifically on Dnata Travel Services and not Dnata which is an umbrella organization that's part of the emirates group.

See, Dnata has its own page and Dnata is just the umbrella corporation of all these other divisions, core of which is Dnata Travel Services.

It is perhaps how I wrote the article...?

So. I've added some more data in there that should make it relevant/significant.

1. DTS is the major stockholder in Hogg Robinson's Group which incidentally has its own wiki site much similar to this one. 2. DTS won all those awards. And that's no small award. Although I noticed that "world travel awards" doesn't have a wiki to it, it IS in fact pretty prestigious and winning there is widely publicized. It's like the oscars of the travel industry.

I am trying to follow the rules by wikipedia which states if I am the editor I jus need to leave the {[hangon]}, which I am. You are constantly putting it back into deletion. I don't understand why. I rewrote the article, and you couldnt of had time to reread it and check any issues as fast as you are trying to delete me already. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehne001 (talk • contribs) 00:06, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Please leave the CSD tag on the article. The article is not long enough to take more than few moments to review and I am able to look at the specific differences. Adding a reference to the article pointing to the source does not remove the copy violation. Additionally, a slight reformulation is not enough to remove the issue. ttonyb (talk) 00:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your quick response however I cannot change facts about Dr. Dreismann's carreer and experience just because another online source mentions them. This is credible and truthful information, and just because we have overlapping business terms it shouldn't have to qualify as copyright infringement. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mehne001 (talk • contribs) 00:15, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

You can rewrite them. Truth is not a valid defense against copyright violations. The article violates Wikipedia guidelines and U.S. copyright laws. ttonyb (talk) 00:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

That's probably best. Ramirez is a Republican primary candidate for the U.S. Senate, which may make him notable. At minimum, I think that makes him "important", which is why I declined the speedy. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 23:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I did waver a bit on this one before marking it. Let's see if we can gather some more refs to support it. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 23:46, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

This is not just made up. you can find the term in the news and other web references.

The term appears to mean something other than the definition in the article. Please point me to this term using the specific definition in the article, if you cannot find one, then I will assume you will add back the PROD tag. Thanks... ttonyb (talk) 08:06, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

If you feel that strongly you can nominate for AFD. This is the normal proves if your PROD was contested. A simple google search can show the use.

Sorry you are too busy to save me a little time. My best to you... ttonyb (talk) 08:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I have probably violated Wikipedia's rules, but I wanted to elaborate on the background of Tim Atack who provided the music for the Ricky Gervais film, the Invention of lying. My wiki skills are not very good. Perhaps the article could be suitably edited just to say that Mr Tim Atack grew up in Pontefract and attended the King's School Pontefract. I also attended the King's School Pontefract and we don't get many people with a claim to fame.

I see a couple of issues with the article. The first and obvious issue is the article is a copy of an existing document, hence, the Copyvio CSD tag. The second is a potential lack of

Note the discussion and have a lovely day :D Timeshift (talk) 06:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I left a comment on the page. ttonyb (talk) 06:16, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I suggest that you familiarise yourself with Wikipedia's

Tammy Jennings - whether or not that you feel the article is notable or not - quite clearly indicates why its subject is significant; indeed, the policy explicitly states "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." As such, your nomination was plainly in violation of the policy, and I've declined it accordingly; don't do it again. Rebecca (talk

) 06:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

The same also applies to

Heat (fragrance), to which you could not possibly apply the cited criteria if you had actually read it. Please stop and read the appropriate policies before doing any further tagging. Rebecca (talk

I wasn't questioning your good faith - I was pointing out that you were acting in patent violation of a policy that you either a) hadn't read, or b) were ignoring (I assume the former). The appropriate course is indeed to go to an AfD where a consensus can be ascertained; I'm glad that you intend doing this in future. Rebecca (talk) 06:32, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

You may want to note that in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics a Sysop agreed with my assessment of the article failing an A7-BIO deletion. Perhaps you should also consider rereading the criteria you pointed me to. I am not sure why you stated, "Unfortunately for you..." in your message to me in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Australian politics, but it implies you believe I am personally invested in the article's removal. If this is the case, you are misinformed. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 06:58, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I am in agreement with ttonyb on this one, but I'd note my admin status has no real bearing, positive or negative, on my views or their weight in the community - besides Rebecca is a former arbitrator.

You may not be aware that I am a member of Wikipedia's fashion portal. I only write articles about fashion models that are notable. Due to Gia Johnson's extensive media coverage in the past couple of months, I felt it necessary to write a Wikipedia article about the top fashion model. Her notability shouldn't be challenged because because she is regularly seen in Vogue and Elle and is with numerous top flight agencies. She has been featured in numerous high profile ads and editorials (see links below).

Last time I checked, top fashion agencies,

Thank you for listening to my tale of woe, but this journey has been very rocky in more ways than one. ThanksWhitelightening (talk) 06:11, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Let's see if I can help you out a bit.

1. The article was deleted because it did not meet the criteria for inclusion. I would guess the reason the article was marked as a PROD then marked for "Speedy Deletion" was it was decided by the nominator and then by an Admin that the article should be deleted without waiting. Adding a {{hangon}} would not have stopped the process. Changing the title would not change the content and therefore it would still be deleted.

2. It is assumed articles are "ready for Prime-time" before being entered into Wikipedia. Articles lacking references are subject to immediate deletion.

3. A rewrite would be a good start; however, without seeing the final product, I have no way of assessing the adequacy of the rewrite as it pertains to Wikipedia inclusion criteria. You may want to create the article in a User/sandbox and edit it there before uploading it to the mainspace. BTW - there is no spell check in Wikipedia.

Good luck and my best to you. ttonyb (talk) 06:59, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure exactly what 'Please DO NOT add anybody with less than nine non-English language Wikipedia articles' means. Sorry, new to this. Does it mean non (English language Wikipedia) articles, meaning articles written outside of Wikipedia about a subject or does it mean articles in Wikipedia that are not written in English? Thanks. Sputtnik (talk) 03:45, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

It means the article has to exist in other Wikipedia projects beside the English version. if you look on the left panel of 2008 under Languages, it will list all the projects besides English that the article exists on. If you click on the project it will take you to the article in that language. Thanks for asking... ttonyb (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

So basically your saying that if I log into my account(I have one yes) then I can edit the section without interfering with the "shared IP" right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.48.207 (talk) 05:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Huh, what I am saying is the event is not notable and that the death is already in the Deaths section of the article. ttonyb (talk) 05:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

1.Why is the "event not notable"?

2.What wikipedia laws or officials make this decision? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.48.207 (talk) 06:47, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Her death is included in the Deaths section of the year. Although tragic, the event of her death is only a single event in her life and is not covered by a separate article. Please see

WP:RY you feel it should be added in, please start a discussion in 2001 talk page and get consensus that is should. Until then the event will continue to be removed. My best to you. ttonyb (talk

Hello Ttonyb1. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Desire (band), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Pitchfork review is a credible assertion of notability sufficient for A7. PROD or take to AfD if required. Thank you. GedUK  21:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr. Thierry is notable he falls under Creative Professionals & Television Personality. This article is highly notable and in interest of several people. His website receives over 1,000,000 hits weekly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttonline (talk • contribs) 04:05, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr. Tony I'm not quite understanding a person of interest a notable person you hear about. Whats the first thing you do to find out more about the person? Google them right. I think the Google hits prove's Mr. Thierry's relevancy in the fashion industry. I believe the hits and traffic his website receives serves notable. I believe him sitting front row at fashion week and attending the most exclusive fashion industry events in the world serves as notability. I've the definition of notable people and Mr. Thierry falls under several categories, he is a personality, socialite, industry professional in his field. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ttonline (talk • contribs) 04:30, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your definition of notability is not the Wikipedia definition of notability. In addition, not only does "real-world" notability have little, if any, relevance to Wikipedia notability, popularity is not a mark of Wikipedia notability. ttonyb (talk) 05:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I think he badly fails

It may very well come to that. Lately there seems to be a increase in nn politicians. Have a good even/day and my best to you. ttonyb (talk) 05:59, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

re deletion of Love Machine (Novel)

Hi tony,

I am new here and trying to work out how to format properly. From memory you flagged my page for deletion because the book Love Machine was unpublished and un notable. The book is being released by Penguin on Feb 1 at the latest but hopefully 27th of december in stores. Hopefully that should address the unpublished aspect of your complaint. How do you class un notable? I think an Australian author of literay fiction is a notable and worthy thing to have a page about. You also mentioned no Ghits. What are Ghits? does G refer to google? If so there are plenty of google hits for the book, and no doubt many more when it's released potentially today? Maybe you can just let me know what it needs and I will try and navigate through all the formatting. Me, not too tech savvy as yet, cheers Warren Butler (talk) 03:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Warren, the book has not been nominated for deletion because it is unpublished, but rather because it fails to meet the criteria in

notability equal popularity. I have nominated the article for AfD to get hopefully get more comments on the article. My best to you. ttonyb (talk

) 03:50, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi tony, it appears you are right about the notability issue. Fair enough. However, as several magazines and newspapers have flagged their intent to run reviews of the novel in the coming weeks, I feel that, if the wiki page is allowed to hang for a few weeks, then it will meet the criteria as set out in option 1 below. i.e. it will have been written about by a third party in a non trivial way in a national broadshhet newspaper?? cheers

The book has been the subject[1] of multiple, non-trivial[2] published works whose sources are independent of the book itself,[3] with at least some of these works serving a general audience. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries and reviews. Some of these works should contain sufficient critical commentary to allow the article to grow past a simple plot summary.Warren Butler (talk) 04:02, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a

reliable resources. I would suggest you copy it to a User/sandbox. (i.e., User_talk:Warren Butler/sandbox) My best to you... ttonyb (talk

Konstantin Lifschitz

Dear Ttonyb1,

I have posted a request for approval to enigmaman and thought I would add one here as well, since it is not clear to me who might be able to assist. I have thus far been unsuccessful in posting a page for the artist Konstantin Lifschitz and I want to make sure that my next attempt has success. Twice the article has been flagged and removed. I have gone back over the guidelines for biographies of living persons. I am rewriting the strict biographical facts in my own words and confirming these with both the subject and his mother. I am not sure how I should reference that, but I assume that by using the actual person and his parent for the confirmation of the facts is acceptable somehow. I'm not sure what else is required as far as referencing other facts, but I would like to make sure that I am doing this properly. If you would be able to suggest the best way to go about running this by you or someone else in the wiki community I would so appreciate it. I am hoping that I am going about all of this in the correct way. thank you for your kind attention on this. Fresh digital produce (talk) 02:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to hear you are having a bit of trouble. It looks as if I nominated the article for deletion last October, so I don't really remember the article; however, based on the Speedy Deletion tag, it looks appears as if I marked it because it was a copyright violation. There are a couple of things to be careful about when writing an article. The article needs to meet the criteria in

WP:NOT or one of the sub pages concerning notability. you also need to make sure it is not a violation of Wikipedia copyright guidelines or copyright laws. I'll check to see if you have a Welcome message on your talk page. The Welcome message has a number of valuable links that can help you create an article that meets Wikipedia guidelines. I would suggest creating the article in a user/sandbox. (i.e., User:Fresh digital produce/sandbox) After you recreate the article let me or Enigmaman know and we can take a look at the article and give you some suggestions. My best to you... ttonyb (talk

) 03:17, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Dear Ttonyb1, Thank you for the kind suggestions. Yes, I believe it was confusing for me from the outset since I was using work that I had originally written, although I had posted this work product as a press release on another site, which I assume 'damaged' it for any future use on wikipedia. I really appreciate your offer to review my work before it gets posted again and I look forward to your comments and your further suggestions in making this attempt a successful one. Sending kindest regards, Fresh digital produce (talk) 07:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

i've got more patience then you probably do... i'll just create my page again... enjoy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Armyofone08 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I don't have to have patience because that type of action will get you as a user banned for the creation of inappropriate articles and the article banned from re-creation. ttonyb (talk) 04:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Whypark

hey tony, whypark's significance is clearly stated as it provides an alternative to typical domain parking. if you'd like me to expand on that, i can-but how that isnt clear isnt something i get. maybe you could offer a little suggestion for how you'd like to see this changed. i dont work for this company btw-i just like their service and they build content for people that have parked domains-pretty valuable in my eyes (and the other 100k plus people that use their service). let me know if you disagree, or if you have a suggestion for revision.

Dadnab service areas

I appreciate your assistance with the Dadnab article, but I'm somewhat confused by your decision to remove information about the metropolitan areas covered by the service. // Internet Esquire (talk) 04:37, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, IE...I initially removed the service areas because they might have been seen as advertising copy - I was concerned about adding web address associated with the area. I have added it back in without the web address. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 04:52, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

2010

Sorry, the reversion that that you undid was about the 2010s, rather than about Obama. I have no reason to believe that Obama's first state of the union address belongs outside of 2010 in the United States, though. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 21:09, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

No problem, I was trying to do both at the same time. I was going to add the State of the Address removal in the edit summary, but hit enter instead. Dumb.... ttonyb (talk) 21:20, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you explain to me pls your point of view, because of what i read it does not violate anything. She's a well known actor (maybe not in your country), she has done many works and i was about to put references. So what makes this page different from many lebanese actors pages on wikepidia? explain to me the prob pls in words since i checked your links and couldn't find anything wrong with my page. lebanese actors —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lebanese actors (talk • contribs) 01:56, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
