Why Not On Wikipedia?
Ethan is actually famous and should have a Wikipedia article. Go to this link to prove it: https://www.youtube.com/user/EthanGamerTV — User talk:MattWorks 18:02, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Re: Mandi Perkins
Sorry about the confusion regarding the block length - I had seen in this edit that you had said "block completely", but I see now that you were referring to scope and not length. Thanks for the help - I'll keep you in the loop if I see any more chicanery. — Chubbles (talk) 03:42, 19 May 2017 (UTC)
HAMES
Good afternoon, I hope all is well! Could you please kindly forward the content to us from deleted page High School Association of Medical Engineers & Scientists, Inc. please? Thank you very much! If there are troubles our wiki account is CreativeOps and our email is <redacted>. — CreativeOps (talk) 18:10, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

Annoyed with you again
Hi RHaworth, This is about the deleted article Tsakane Secondary School. I'm also annoyed with @Melcous:, which makes me annoyed with two people I thoroughly trust and admire.
Tsakane quite obviously must have secondary schools, one of which may have been the one you deleted. Why not do a little research, instead of tagging/deleting?
Grr. Pete AU aka -- Shirt58 (talk) 09:10, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Shirt58 Hi Pete, sorry for annoying you and yes, fair call that I could have put a little more effort into it - no content/context at all does tend to be something that annoys me :) Cheers, Melcous (talk) 09:36, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
- Shirt58, it is not my job to do research. It is up to the creator of any article to show that the subject is real and notable. In any case an article of which the entire content was "Tsakane ext secondary school Top 5" stands no chance of survival. If L.z.motloung55 (talk · contribs) cares to try again via a sandbox, a decent article stands a good chance of survival. (Incidentally, a little research reveals a number of secondary schools with unpronounceable names in Tsakane but none actually called Tsakane Secondary School!) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:12, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Oars + Alps
Dear RHaworth - my recent article about Oars + Alps was deleted and I was hoping you could provide some insight into why. It wasn't meant to be promotional (I am unaffiliated with he company, so no COI). I ensured the references were accurate and complete. Any guidance? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darek84CJ (talk • contribs) 15:20, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
- First explain this pointless edit. When I see an editor with no past history produce a spammy article, I view claims of "no COI" with the greatest scepticism. If you genuinely have no COI, resubmit via AfC. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:12, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
Darek84CJ - Hi RHaworth - that pointless edit was a correction in contributing to your talk page without creating a new section heading. It had been lumped in with the previous heading so I wanted to keep things clean and tidy. Thank you for the guidance. — Preceding undated comment added 14:22, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
- You REALLY should stop. You apparently get great joy from attempting to belittle others. Positive journalism would go farther. — Antavius (talk) 14:16, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
My Talk Page
- [Transferred to user talk:Myk Streja.]
Not that I'm especially unhappy to see pages like this go away, but I don't think your deletion summary said what you meant it to say: that AFD was closed as keep more than four years ago, and the G7 requested in the last few revisions doesn't look valid - plenty of other people had substantial edits to the article. Was it just the summary or the deletion itself that was accidental? I ask because I just found David K Williams (AfD discussion) in CAT:CSD, which was redirected here via AFD just a few days ago, and while I'd be even less sorry to see that article go, it doesn't seem like it would be a legitimate deletion. — Cryptic 03:09, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Restored. Robertlo9 (talk · contribs), not helped by Dw122339, made multiple cack-handed attempts at getting this deleted: simply blanking, using db-author and citing an AfD that had closed as keep. Robert, if you still want this deleted, you must start a new AfD discussion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:40, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- Thank you for asking. I have been asked by David K. Williams and others at Fishbowl to delete this page because it continues to get spammed with content. Plus, the very name Fishbowl Inventory is no longer valid because the company isn't called that, nor does it sell a product called that anymore. It stopped doing that years ago. I can put you in contact with someone at Fishbowl if you require proof that they actually want this page deleted. — Robertlo9 (talk) 13:21, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
- To reverse my usual mantra: kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks this article should be deleted. We don't give a fig for what Fishbowl want - it is not theirs to decide. Did you see the word new in front of AfD? That means: start a new discussion, not vandalise one closed four years ago. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:03, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Beijing Bus No. 360 Express
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beijing Bus No. 360 Express. Can you please look at this page and see if it's eligible for Speedy Delete? I had PRODed it but it was removed without reasonable explanation. — Coderzombie (talk) 12:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Reverse deletion of userspace draft
Hi there, RHaworth. I saw that you recently speedy-deleted User:Zonefocus22/sandbox/Paul Addis for criterion G4. However, that criterion does not usually apply to userspace drafts, and the nominee for that deletion has made a number of incorrect nominations recently. Could you revert the deletion so that the draft can go through the appropriate process? Newimpartial (talk) 03:05, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Ummm, how can you close the discussion at MfC the day after you deleted the Userspace article? It's not as though there was consensus, anyway. Newimpartial (talk) 03:10, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Newimpartial, please take a minute and re-read the closure of the MFD (by the way, it's "D", not "C", in the acronym). As the page was speedy deleted, there was no more need for the deletion discussion, so it was closed (by me). Primefac (talk) 03:13, 28 May 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
Sorry for the typo, and for misattributing the closure of the discussion.
I still don't understand, though, why the G4 deletion was done, at a time where the MfD discussion was underway without consensus?Newimpartial (talk) 03:16, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
- Not to pile on, but the draft was way, way more substantial and at least a little better-sourced than the stub deleted at afd ten years ago. Letting it sit for a week at MFD wouldn't be the end of the world. —Cryptic 03:30, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

deleted ESCOP page
Dear RHaworth, I am the author of a deleted wiki page Draft:European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy. I would be grateful if you could give me support concerning this page; I tried to rely on the already existing German wiki page of ESCOP (de:European Scientific Cooperative on Phytotherapy but it seems that the English editors are more strict.... ;-) I have prepared an updated version with independent refs), and I would be very grateful if you could have a look at it before publishing. May I send it to you for supervision? Many thanks, Dezső Csupor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Csupord (talk • contribs) 20:24, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
- Learn wikilinks! If you really insist on trying yet again, do so in draft space. But it would be better if you would kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your organisation is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:24, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Awesome problem
Deletion of User:MacAuslan/AWE (academic writing in English). I am MacAuslan. I don't remember in detail what the page you complain of (and deleted) contained. I am sure that I have never tried to use wikipedia as a web-hosting service. Please send me a copy of the deleted text. If you can also explain to a technologically limited wikipedian (me) the error of his ways, he (I) would be grateful. — MacAuslan (talk) 16:57, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- The primary deletion reason was stale draft - the page had not been touched for six years. If it had been submitted to mainspace, it could have been deleted as non-notable website - absolutely no evidence offered. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:44, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for the text. I cannot see that my text is trying to use wikipedia as a web-hosting service, so I don't agree with its deletion. What kind of encyclopaedia is wikipedia if information has "not been touched for six years"? I can see that you might object to lack of evidence: if you reinstate the article (or permit me to do so) I'll add a link, and update the statistics. It seems worthwhile for wikipedia to notice a philanthropic resource that is well used. — MacAuslan (talk) 19:03, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
- "Not been touched for six years" - sure, if it is encyclopedic and in mainspace then it may remain untouched indefinitely. But different rules apply outside mainspace. Never mind six years, stale drafts are deletable after six months.
- It took me some time to find the AWE website which suggests that it is not notable. But feel free to have a go with a new article. It must be put in mainspace or submitted via AfC within six months. We do not like double-barrelled titles and I am unsure what to recommend. I think AWE (website) would be best. Then if is is accepted, create a redirect to it at Academic Writing in English - yes, with a capital W. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:44, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Not an undeletion request
Hi there. I note that you're listed in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles. I don't actually require a copy of this article (I don't think), but would you be able to tell me who the subject of the article deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Susan Baker was? I'm about to draft an article on an academic called Susan Baker and I just want to check that it's not the same person. Thanks. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:03, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

I have restored the entire history of the template to User:Gonejackal/sandbox. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
I did it for verification purposes. I didn't do my due diligence in checking the history of the template before it got deleted.Gonejackal (talk) 22:03, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks
Your work includes so much boring routine for which I suspect you seldom get thanked. Because of that, I'm specifically thanking you for the utterly routine author-requested deletion of Introduction to spacetime and Spacetime (Introduction section) summary, which were probably two among a zillion other repetitive chores that you had to take care of today. Guys like you really help keep Wikipedia going, "Mr. Grumpy Old Man". From one G.O.M. to another, cheers! Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 12:43, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Why delete my draft?
Why did you delete my draft ? User:SageGreenRider/Navitas I have not been inactive for one year so G6 does not apply. — Talk to SageGreenRider 02:30, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- OK, I bent the rules. The article had not been touched by you for eighteen months. But what are you moaning about - there was nothing in it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:27, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
Then please bend the rules back and restore it. It was a place holder for a project of mine. — Talk to SageGreenRider 20:50, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
- There is no place in Wikipedia for place holders. If you really insist on having a page, it will take you very little time to re-create it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:01, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Your deletion of Antavius Weems
While I'm certain that you'll suggest that it wasn't personal, please help me too understand why it was that you deleted my page (Antavius Weems). While i may not be notable enough to you, it appears that i have gained a respectable amount of notoriety which would support my having a wikipedia page. I would love to hear your thoughts. — Antavius (talk) 14:14, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Yes, but- nine months later? Anyhow, above, you called RH 'rude', which hardly seems an optimal strategy with which to seek his assistance :) happy editing! — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 14:26, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Fortuna, in fact it is 26 months later! That which I deleted was created by FamousParis1 (talk · contribs) and its total content was "A List Celebrity Attorney Famous Paris Hollywood". Ironically it is just possible that Famous Paris had no COI. The last contribution by Antavius was on 2015-04-11 21:39:34.

Dartford Young Musician of the Year
Hello there. Thank you for checking my article. How comes you deleted the article regarding the Dartford Young Musician of the Year competition? It is a major event here in Dartford, and lots of people watch it. It is judged by professionals and features local performances. It is endorsed by multiple music companies and music professionals. It is an important event. If there is any valid problem with the article, please reply and let me know what to change, and I will do so. Please could you bring the article back, and I'll try and rectify all mistakes. I have the link of my article. Thanks for your co-operation. — RickstaDaBest123 (talk) 17:35, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Absolutely no attempt made to demonstrate notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:01, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello! I don't understand what you mean by it not being notable! All music professionals know about it, and it is a major music competition in the Borough of Dartford! Similarly, to the BBC Young Musician of the Year award is the same concept, but the Dartford Young Musician of the Year award represents Dartford's finest musicians. This is not just one event; it comprises of multiple ones including the auditioning stage, the finals and the performances from professionals, like Alex Ridout who was the BBC Young Jazz Musician in a previous year. Please reply with what you mean by "notability" and if there is a clearer way to improve the article. Thanks for your help. — RickstaDaBest123 (talk) 20:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Does the word "evidence" suggest anything to you? You claim "all music professionals know about it". Why should I take your word for it? Give me independent evidence - typically as links to reliable websites. In any case "all music professionals" is probably insufficient - how well known is it to the publick at large? Please read this. A Google search for "Dartford Young Musician of the Year" is distinctly unpromising but if you can actually find proper evidence of notability, re-submit via AfC so that your text stands a chance of surviving for days rather than for less than an hour as has been the case with your two previous submissions. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your reply. You can ask music specialists about it, and they will tell you about it. It is notable throughout the Borough of Dartford and the wider community because it has been reported in the local newspaper: Dartford Messenger. It is also covered by several other news websites such as DGSChapter and more. If you would like me to provide the link for them, I can do. Please put it back online, and I will try to add more sources and evidence of notablity. Thanks for your help. — RickstaDaBest123 (talk) 11:31, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Can I take it that you are Ricky Taing? I am very doubtful whether a local competition in its first year will be deemed notable. If you really insist on trying again, use the AfC process. I am willing to email you your text - read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:34, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! Yes, my name is Ricky. I thought that the competition already had some notability, and could build more notability not just in the United Kingdom, but globally via Wikipedia. I've my e-mail address. — RickstaDaBest123 (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- Did you see that the words "read this" in my previous message were a link that you were expected to follow? I suspect not otherwise you would have not have put yourself at risk of receiving unwanted emails by publishing your email here. Another word for "building notability via Wikipedia" is advertising and we do not allow it. Text emailed. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:53, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Id food wiki deletion
Dear RHaworth, There was nothing promotional about the article. It was quite neutral and all facts were verified with citations and most trusted sources as shared on the article. I'm no way related to the company and can provide any proof you want. After recommendations from two senior WIkians, I did the suggested edits and content and was resubmitted. Only to be seen as deleted. Kindly reconsider it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theaphorist (talk • contribs) 13:50, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
Please share the deleted article content with me. Also if you can please let me know why it was deleted even after correcting the tone and removing anything which might even closely resemble a promotional article. I'm no way associated with t he company and all points were cited by the most trusted online links and articles from Forbes, Times Of India and Business Standard towards the last edit, it was made sure that the article looks like an encyclopedia entry and not a company description. It might quite overwhelming for you to reply to every edit/delte request and iIunderstand this job is not easy. Hence I want to make sure that all contents are perfect before updating from now.

FYI
Hello RH. You recently deleted a user page that was being used as advertising. The talk page still exists here User talk:Gurjeet singh asr. As I type this I am realizing that - since it is user space rather than an article - maybe leaving the talk page is okay. I thought it better to check with you just to be sure. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 20:04, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) @MarnetteD: Yeah, user pages aren't subject to WP:G8 ('It excludes any page that is useful to Wikipedia, and in particular... user pages, user talk pages, talk page archives'). However as The Haworth has drummed in to me many times ;) a talk page with no history to it can be deleted. And I wonder, do you think, in this case, where the history is nothing but spam and a deletion request, that that spam should be erased from the history? Yes, I think so too :) Cheers MD, nice to see you again; take care RH. — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 20:14, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
- The rules "spam is deletable anywhere" and "user talk pages should be preserved as a record" can give rise to a dilemma. For example Jim1138 and reddogsix were probably using Twinkle or some other gadget when they added messages to user talk:Theorchid107 so they never knew that they were adding to a piece of blatant spam. To get rid of the spam, I had to delete their edits. So to preserve their messages, I had to recreate the page copying the non-spam text from a deleted state. This gave the unsatisfactory result that it looks like I have forged the signatures of Jim1138 and reddogsix.
- In the case of User talk:Gurjeet singh asr even this does not apply. The only non-spam element is a speedy delete tag and they always get deleted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:46, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Currency solutions' sandbox article: deleted
Hi RHaworth, Yesterday you have deleted my sandbox article about Currency Solutions. It was flagged as promotional by Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. I have contest the nomination pointing out that at least 4 similar articles have already exist in Wikipedia. I believe my article followed the neutral tone and focused on facts. I have also followed the WP:COI and have listed myself as connected contributor. However I didn't receive an answer of what should be improved in the article and why is different than the others that have already been published. As a new author I would appreciate your cooperation in order to improve. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kafcheto (talk • contribs) 07:56, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

deleted Tech4Imaging page
Good morning RHaworth, you have deleted the Tech4Imaging page yesterday, Wikipedia indicates that only administrators are authorized to create a page with this name. I would appreciate if you guide me on how to remove this restriction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marashdeh (talk • contribs) 15:30, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Someone with no CoI will use AfC to create a new article. If they can convince a draftspace reviewer that the company is notable, an admin will move it to article space and that action will automatically remove the protection. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:46, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Hi. While still a stale userpage, you unspeedied this article, which was then (simultaneously?) nominated for deletion (MfD), see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Zonefocus22/sandbox/Paul Addis. After it was nominated, it was moved into the mainspace. However, by doing so, it screwed up the link for the deletion discussion. Thought you might be able to fix it. — Onel5969 TT me 00:01, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Why do you need me? Do a non-admin closure of the MfD discussion. Fix the horrible bit of <pre> near the bottom of the article and remove the MfD tag from the top. If you still think it should be deleted, start an AfD discussion. I have in fact done the bit that needed admin rights: moved it to Paul Addis but that could have been left to later. (My first tablet computer died near Coliseum station on BART.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:46, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- Comment I wrote the newer Paul Addis article in userspace and honestly forgot about it until it was nominated for deletion. When I cleaned it up and moved it to mainspace, I used the title "Paul Addis (artist)" because a google search found multiple other people by that same name who had sufficient notability to potentially cause confusion - at least two of whom are also lawyers as the subject of this article was. If you think it's better left as simply "Paul Addis," I suppose we can just deal with any confusion that arises if and when somebody writes articles about the other Paul Addises. — Zonefocus22 (talk) 18:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
File:Covfefe tweet.png
You deleted it however Trump is a employee of the US goverment as the president and it should not have been deleted unless there was a discussion or if it was unrelated to copyright. — Flow 234 (Nina) talk 10:24, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
- True, the president is paid by the US government but does that constitute a contract of employment? But what has that got to do with file:covfefe tweet.png and file:covfefe-tweet.png over which Twitter has undoubted rights. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:46, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
File:Kim jong nam.jpg
Hi RHaworth. Would you mind taking a look at File:Kim jong nam.jpg? It looks like it might be the same as what you deleted per Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 April 19#File:Kim jong nam.jpg. There's no copyright license added or source information provided, so I'm not sure whether the uploader has found a free equivalent or is just unfamiliar with uploading images. My guess would be the latter. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:08, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Josep Lagares
Hello I would like to know why this article has been deleted: draft:Josep Lagares. I would like to create a translation from the Spanish to English about this page es:Josep Lagares. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.24.107.211 (talk) 07:00, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- As near as I can tell, the page has never been deleted. — Primefac (talk) 12:02, 9 June 2017 (UTC) (talk page stalker)
- Primefac, "never been deleted"! I hesitate to remind a fellow admin of the wonderful tools provided by the MediaWiki software such as edit history and this log.
- 80.24.107.211, please read this and this. If you are Eulalia Tomas (talk · contribs), please log in before editing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- I saw the word "article" and found no former page at Josep Lagares. The draft showed no deleted revisions, and thus I didn't think to check that log. Being uninvolved has its drawbacks. Primefac (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
- But why were you looking in mainspace? The IP address had provided a link (in the wrong format) to draft space. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:18, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
CogNIAM
Hi RHaworth, Thanks for trying to set it right around CogNIAM. However if I am not mistaken the formal name of two.or three formal names of the method is:
- CogNIAM,
- Cognition enhanced NIAM and/or
- Cognition enhanced Natural language Information Analysis Method.
The term NIAM itself is an older method and stands for Natural language Information Analysis Method and never "Natural language Information and Analysis Method" because we are speaking here of an information analysis method (not a information and analysis method). Likewise the term Cognition enhanced Natural language Information and Analysis Method doesn't make sense To avoid further confusion here the Cognition enhanced Natural language Information and Analysis Method should be moved to Cognition enhanced Natural language Information Analysis Method. Before making further changes, I want to ask you first is you you have any objections?
P.S. Just for the record. I (only) just noticed this misspelling seem to be made already in the first version of the lemma.
-- Mdd (talk) 18:15, 9 June 2017 (UTC)/18:23, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, thank you. Then I will go for Cognition enhanced Natural language Information Analysis Method. -- Mdd (talk) 22:12, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Tallinna keskraamatukogu
Would you mind recreating Tallinna keskraamatukogu. I was about to expand the article that was tagged a minute after it was created. It appears to have been the legal deposit library for the country of Estonia during the early 20th century and the first library for a town in the country [2]. I'll likely move it to an English name, but I'd prefer it restored so that the original creator can find it more easily and is a part of the article history. Thanks in general for all the work you do. — TonyBallioni (talk) 17:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, I noticed the restoration on my watchlist. I've moved it to a general draft at draft:Tallinn Central Library and will let the creator know why I move to main space. Thanks again for the restoration. — TonyBallioni (talk) 20:18, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hardly worth restoring. And certainly nowhere near ready for mainspace. Restored to User:Koerakuut/sandbox. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:34, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

SAP enhancement packages
Hello RHaworth, You recently deleted draft:SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP 6.0. Once the page is built, it will cross link to the SAP ERP page, if you scroll down to the SAP ERP Wikipedia page you will see a section under the headline "Releases". The releases section has a sub-section about enhancement packages. The draft is meant to explain the enhancement packages, using various sources. Can you kindly re-active the draft? Or should I re-start it on my end? Let me know how to proceed, thanks! Any feedback is welcome. — An Tran (Peace) (talk) 09:07, 12 June 2017 (UTC)An Tran (Peace)
- The Releases section is pure unencyclopedic listcruft and far from creating articles about individual releases we should delete that section. How to proceed? Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your package is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:53, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
NJFX
Hi - I just got a speedy deletion notice and almost immediately after saw that you deleted the page NJFX. I never got a chance to contest the deletion. Can you explain why you thought it was promotional? In over six years, I've never had an article deleted before, let alone speedy deleted. Wikipedia is weak on info about data centers and cable landing stations. I've been focusing a bit more in this area recently, including updating info on Windstream, Tata Communications and Hibernia Networks. Thanks. Timtempleton (talk) 14:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
- In over six years, you have not learnt to provide a link when you talk about an article. Restored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
The article and business is called NJFX, and I actually did link to the article in my note above. Thanks for restoring it, although from what I've read it appears that NJFX is more commonly used than the draft name you restored the article to, New Jersey Fiber Exchange. Nonetheless I will discuss on the talk page. Cheers. Timtempleton (talk) 15:07, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
I reread the article with a fresh perspective and took out a few sentences that could be considered borderline promotional. I just resubmitted. I'm still hoping the nominating editor can tell me what he thought was promotional, if I didn't already delete it, and give me a chance to discuss before deleting. I'll ping him after this. On a side note, it was this specific article being held up in NPP that led me to this project and the submission I made Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Analysis and proposal#A modest proposal to clear the patrol backlog. What do you think of better triage? It's been years since I proposed an article - I normally just write them directly into namespace. Because of the large NPP backlog, do you think it would be faster going forward to just submit article drafts? I have no idea myself which is faster, but I still have some recent articles awaiting patrol, and one was just patrolled and accepted. — Timtempleton (talk) 15:29, 12 June 2017 (UTC)
G13
FYI, I see that you have deleted a large number of drafts as G13 when those drafts were never a part of the AFC project--see e.g. Draft:Rats in Boston, Draft:Pierre-Henri Chaudouard, User:TALOOT HUSSAIN/TALOOT HUSSAIN, Draft:Natalie Majala Waldburger, Draft:Late April 2016 Northern United States tornado outbreak, Draft:Jack Callaghan, Draft:Kamboh, Draft:Indian Interdependence Day, Draft:Mary Dsouza (Sequeira). I don't believe this is permissible -- how long has it been your practice? Is it possible to identify and restore affected drafts? — Calliopejen1 (talk) 23:52, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
I'm concerned with your statement here suggesting that you have been doing this for years despite the language of G13 itself. — Calliopejen1 (talk) 00:05, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- As they say in diplomatic circles, I am still considering my response to your message but in the meantime: a) make your link "here" more specific. Remember that you can create a wikilink to a specific section thus. And b) I have restored Draft:Rats in Boston in case anyone else wants to pick it up. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:52, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- The statement is at User_talk:RHaworth/2013_Dec_18#To_be_honest_I.27m_a_little_confused ("I allow G13 even if there is no AfC tag."). Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:54, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
- Also, I have no particular affection for Draft:Rats in Boston; it's just the article that prompted me to look into this issue. Calliopejen1 (talk) 22:55, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

speed deletion of ASR -Advanced Study Room
Its not ok, that you deleted the newly written article about ASR - Advanced Study Room. You even didn't notice, so it seems, that there was started a discussion on the talk page about this article. Otherwise you first would have answered there and participated in an open discussion ... and maybe herewith learn something about the world of GO. Obviously you are not part of. Why just pressing the "delete buzzer" ? - Very, very unpolite by you, so it feels for me. Why ignoring the arguments against a speed deletion ? Explain pls ! (ElJay Arem (talk) 14:51, 14 June 2017 (UTC))
- I get an allergick reaction to double-barrelled titles. Also someone who has been contributing here as long as you have ought to know that it is article suicide to develop in mainspace.

Hi, I created a page Usingenglish.com a little earlier today and you have removed it citing advertising. It is not meant to be advertising at all.

Tarak Ghosh notability, or lack thereof
Hi RHaworth,
I've just been cleaning up an article - Tarak Ghosh created by a new user User:Arnab_sen_kol. Apparently Tarak Ghosh is an author, and although he has entries on amazon and good reads for a number of self-published books, I'm struggling to find any reliable indication that he'd be notable enough for the english wikipedia. I've left a note on the page creator's talk to tell him to dig up some solid evidence - my inability to do so, may well be because I'm searching in english...
When I went to add a note about the notability, or lack of it to the article's talk page, it came up with a message saying you deleted it earlier today. If that's the case, I'm guessing you probably speedy deleted an earlier version of the article as well?
Thanks AntiVan (talk) 13:38, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
