YummyPets

Hi,

I contact you as you deleted 'YummyPets' that I created a few days ago. You might have feel its too light but it is one of my first article. I decided to create it after Orange talked about its connected collar during its annual Hello Show : http://livetv.orange.com/fr/live-Orange-TV/show-hello/le-replay/le-replay-du-show-hello-2014

Then do you have any advice so that the page I would re-create is not deleted again ?

Thanks for your tips — Preceding unsigned comment added by FlorianGr (talk • contribs) 07:32, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I did not delete your article, I just proposed it for deletion. Only administrators can delete articles, and I'm not one of them. Your article (Yummypets) was not deleted, it was WP:Userfied and it is now located here: User:FlorianGr/YummyPets. Article may be moved back to the article namespace when it becomes ready. The main problem with the article is the wp:Notability of its subject. Misplaced Pages has strict rules about the notability. Misplaced Pages articles need to cite several reliable independent sources (see WP:42) to prove the notability of the subject. Your article cites three sources. One of those is a dead link (), another one is not independent () because it's from a web site of the company that invests in YummyPets. You have to expand the article with more citations from reliable sources (please, see: WP:RELIABLE) to make it ready to be moved back. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:48, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Vanjagenjie Regarding the nomination for deletion GEKKOS OF ZIMBABWE The duplication you refer to is of GEKKO an ASIAN Genus of lizard.....my article is African Lizards of the Order. GEkkonidae in Africa. I am a zoologist, conservationist and a vet and I live (mostly) in Zimbabwe. The article now seems to be permanently lost and has been deleted by Alexf Thanks Clive — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrC.Humphreys (talk • contribs) 22:53, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

International institute for nanotechnology

You marked this page for deletion, and RHaworth deleted it. On his talk page he said he wanted the capitalization corrected and more diverse and better sources added (at least, this is my interpretation). These are easy requests. Will this also satisfy you, or did you have different objections?

AaCBrown (talk) 23:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Second try

I corrected the capitalization in International Institute for Nanotechnology. I added material attesting to the importance of the IIN from BloombergBusinessWeek, Discover, Nanotechnology for Dummies and Nanotechnology Etc. (an industry newsletter). The core information still comes from Northwestern University, as the independent sources are older and don't go into much detail about the institute. Most articles focus specific discoveries or research areas.

Personally, I think that's okay. I mean this isn't some foundation I started yesterday or a political splinter group. It really does exist and it gets mentioned frequently in the science and business news. I trust Northwestern about the size, organization, programs and affiliates, and it's hard to think of another reliable, up-to-date source.

I can add more news citations, but I feel like they give the article too much of a puff feel. The articles tend to hype things a bit like "one of the premier research institutions in the world," or, "the IIN is essential to progress in nanotechnology" (that last is from the Congressional Record and you can guess what the Senator from Illinois wanted). If a leading scientist, independent of the IIN, had said those things it would be worth including, but if it's the Northwestern PR department talking some journalist into inserting the words, or a Senator drumming up cash for the home team, I think they're pretty meaningless. I hate to overuse them in Misplaced Pages.

Anyway I hope you like it, or at least don't hate it so much you think it should be deleted. If I can improve it in any way, please let me know. If you kill it again, I'll give up and find another topic.

AaCBrown (talk) 01:41, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! You need to understand that Misplaced Pages has certain inclusion criteria. Misplaced Pages only contains articles about subjects that are notable enough. And, Wikpedia has specific definition of "WP:notability". In Misplaced Pages, a subject is considered notable is there are several reliable, independent sources that significantly discus the subject (see: WP:42). You are right, if somebody is connected to the subject (like the Senator) or somebody payed for an interview to be published, than that source is not reliable. Subjecta for which reliable independent with significant coverage cannot be found are considered non-notable, are are usually deleted. You say that this institute "really does exists", but that is not enough. The fact that something exists is not the proof that it the notable. You also say that this institute is "mentioned frequently". That is also not enough. Just mentioning something is not considered to be a significant coverage (and, again, we need significant coverage in reliable independent sources). You added references to some sources to the article, that's true, but some of them () just mention the IIN, with no significant coverage. Most of the article is still dependent on primary (ie. not independent) sources (which is the web site of the institute itself). I think that the article should not be deleted in this state, but you still need to find more reliable sources. Another problem of the article is the style of citations. Your citations are (almost) WP:bare URLs, and they tend to suffer from WP:link rot. You should style the citations properly (see: Help:Footnotes). Feel free to ask me if you need any help.

Gekkos of Zimbabwe

Gekkos of Zimbabwe DrC.Humphreys (talk) 00:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC) DrC Humphreys Hello Vanjagenjie Regarding the nomination for deletion GEKKOS OF ZIMBABWE The duplication you refer to is of GEKKO an ASIAN Genus of lizard.....my article is African Lizards of the Order. Gekkonidae in Africa. I am a zoologist, conservationist and a vet and I live (mostly) in Zimbabwe. The article now seems to be permanently lost and has been deleted by Alexf Apparently its been userfied whatever that means Thanks Clive DrC.Humphreys (talk) 00:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Yes, the article was deleted by an administrator. If you need a copy of the article for yourself, you may ask the deleting administrator to provide you the copy (User talk:Alexf). You have to understand that Misplaced Pages has certain inclusion rules. We don't need to have articles about geckos in every single country. Animals do not recognize national borders, so it is pointless to have separate article about, say, "geckos in Zimbabwe" and "geckos in Tanzania". We need to have articles about different animal species. You are free to expant articles about Gekkonidae and about differend gecko species (Category:Geckos). Vanjagenije (talk) 11:13, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

@DrC.Humphreys: one way to address the geckos' lack of acknowledgement of human borders is to focus an article on borders that the geckos do acknowledge, for example it might be appropriate to create something like "geckos of the Limpopo watershed" (if others have published on that topic and there are interesting uniquenesses and differences and relationships between those species which have been recorded in the literature) (by people other than you). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:55, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Gekkos of Zimbabwe DrC.Humphreys (talk) 10:39, 21 October 2014 (UTC) Thank you to TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom for your invaluable Remarks on article. I have two questions 1. How you I retrieve the article Userfied by Alexf ? 2. If I were to title my article Endemic Geckos of Zimbabwe would it be more acceptable ? As vangenie says Geckos dont recognise human borders by they do recognise geography and exclusive habitats i.e. endemicity....the word endemic in embedded in the text several times DrC.Humphreys (talk) 10:39, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Your article is wp:userfied and it is located here: User:DrC.Humphreys/Gekkos of Zimbabwe. I don't believe it would be helpful to just rename the article to "endemic gekkos of Zimbabwe". The article is just a list of gecko species. We already have articles on (almost) all gecko species (see: Gekkonidae). Your article is not useful because it is just a list of species that live in Zimbabwe. All those species are already covered in separate articles. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:04, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Gekkos of Zimbabwe I resubmitted my article. Gekkos of Zimbabwe DrC.Humphreys (talk) 21:22, 24 October 2014 (UTC) I have improved this article and plan shortly to move it to Geckos of Zimbabwe to correct a spelling mistake from inception. Would you please review it DrC.Humphreys (talk) 21:22, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Proscelotes arnoldi and Pachydeactylus tetensis I notice you patrolled or tagged these articles. Do you know how please add maps and taxoboxes Many many thanks sir. DrC.Humphreys (talk) 21:22, 24 October 2014 (UTC) (Cambridge, England formerly Mutare, Zimbabwe)

Removal Proposition

Hi, I have answered the removal proposition on the conversation initiated by you. Please see if this is sufficient. MorningTwilight (talk) 14:51, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

I updated more references and left you a message in my talk page MorningTwilight (talk) 16:56, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion ?

I have no time every day for watching my, or else pages and explaining contest. If you think that some article must be deleted, please give me some time to confirm about that, and in the future, check the references and external links first, please! Thank you, and sorry for my intonation, but I want to make something useful. Lotom (talk) 11:20, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi! WP:NFOOTBALL says that only football players that have played in a "fully professional league" are considered notable. You may find the list of fully professional leagues here: WP:FPL. Darko Baljak has not played in any fully professional league, so his article was speedy deleted for the lack of notability. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:02, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

O.K, look, I know about the rules. He played some matches in Serbian SuperLiga for Banat Zrenjanin in seasons 2007–08 and 2008–09: Darko Baljak.Also, I know that we don't have so many relevant sources, but finaly check Transfermarkt, and you can see that. Maybe not correct about number of played games in all sources, but he played in "fully professional league", that is point. I am trying to add some players who have played in 1st tier of our coutry. I will recreate the page soon. Best regards! Lotom (talk) 16:40, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

World Chess Championship 2014

Thank you for your contribution to this World Chess Championship 2014. I wanted to show you what tool we use in the Hebrew wikipedia to show the games. . You can also annotate the games using this tool, and the best is that the reader can sit down and see the game playing by itself like in the chess sites. You are invited to install the tool in the English wikipedia! --Yoavd (talk) 06:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Rodrigo Peñailillo

Re . Isn't a picture in Wikimedia Commons a reference? . Isn't patrolling a certification of approval? Instead of looking for references yourself lmgtfy.com/?q=Rodrigo+Pe%C3%B1ailillo it was easier for you to ask for deletion. Anyway, a person that can use his/her time in a constructive way added the reference you didn't want to provide . People like you are the reason people like me don't come to Wipipedia often. Esmito (talk) 13:08, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi! A photo cannot be used as a source for a biography (see: WP:V). The existence of a photo of a person cannot be used as en evidence that the said person is notable. New pages patrolling is not a proof that the article is OK. I am a new pages patroller myself, so I'm very familiar with the patrolling rules. New Pages patrol is a voluntary service. Anybody can do the patrol, even a total newbie who is not familiar with Misplaced Pages rules at all. Any page that does not satisfy the rules may be proposed for deletion, even if it was patrolled. Now, your second question, about the references. General Misplaced Pages policy is that "the burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material" (see: WP:BURDEN). This means that it is your duty to provide reliable sources, since you added this article. You cannot expect others to do your job. I don't see any reason for such an emotional reply from you, as you were free to ask me for help, but you didn't. In the future, feel free to ask me if you have any problem connected with Misplaced Pages, and especially if I am a source of the problem. Thanks. Vanjagenije (talk) 16:27, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
