1. A tory liar
- Tag: incorrect (page was not recently created). Could use {{db-attack}} instead.
- Delete: yes. Edit summary: "unhelpful redirect and attack page".
- Follow-up: none (assuming the user is indef-blocked).
- Response Yup - definitely an attack redirect.
- Tag: incorrect (educational institutions are exempt from speedy deletion per CSD A7). Also, the author should have been notified.
- Delete: no (search shows the subject exists). Improve the article myself if possible.
- Follow-up action: welcome the author to Wikipedia.
- Response Yup. I would also recommend informing the tagging editor about CSD criteria and how it doesn't apply to schools etc.
- Tag: at a first glance it may seem correct, but assuming good faith it's probably not meant as an attack page (the subject actually was involved in the described events).
- Delete: no (search shows subject exists and seems notable). Remove unsourced material and tag for {{unreferenced}}. Improve the article myself if possible.
- Follow up: welcome the author, pointing them among others towards Wikipedia:Writing better articles.
- Response Well done for spotting that this isn't an attack article (although I wouldn't hold it against anyone for calling ti as such, due to WP:DUCK). One thing though - a redirect would be in order, as the title is spelt incorrectly...
4. New article
- Tag: {{db-person}} would have been preferable.
- Delete: yes (search shows subject either doesn't exist, or is not notable). Edit summary: "(A7) article about a person that does not assert its subject's importance".
- Follow-up: welcome the author and warn against creating articles about them self (per username).
- Second time round:
- Tag: incorrect per A7 (
) and WP:ENT."It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines. If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied. Often what seems non-notable to a new page patroller is shown to be notable in a deletion discussion."
- Delete: no (per above). Tag for {{BLP unsourced}} and either BLP PROD or take to AfD.
- Follow up: welcome the author and warn them against creating articles about them self.
- Response You got there in the end. This is something that I see time and time again - people tagging articles as non-notable when they do assert notability. And it is even more frustrating when I think of all the potential articles that have been speedily deleted even when they shouldn't have been.
- Tag: incorrect per A7 (
- Tag: correct. Author should have been notified.
- Delete: yes. Edit summary: "(A7) article about a person that does not assert it's subject's importance".
- Follow-up: welcome the author and warn about creating articles about themselves.
- Response And as you pointed out on my talk page, Oversight is required. There is an indication in the user's name that he is a minor.
- Request Oversight per disclosure of "non-public personal information about an individual". benzband (talk) 12:10, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
- Response And as you pointed out on my talk page, Oversight is required. There is an indication in the user's name that he is a minor.
7. Sudar Barash
- Tag: {{db-person}} would have been preferable.
- Delete: yes (doesn't show up in search). Edit summary: "(A7) article about a person that does not assert it's subject's importance".
- Follow-up: warn user about conflict of interests, and suggest that they find independent reliable sources and submit their article at AfC rather than creating it again.
- Second time round:
- Tag: incorrect per A7 (
)"It is irrelevant whether the claim of notability within the article is not sufficient for the notability guidelines. If the claim is credible, the A7 tag can not be applied. Often what seems non-notable to a new page patroller is shown to be notable in a deletion discussion."
- Delete: no (per above). Tag for {{BLP unsourced}} and either BLP PROD or take to AfD.
- Follow up: warn user about conflict of interests, and suggest that they find independent reliable sources and that they submit their article at AfC rather than creating it again.
- Response As 5, you got there in the end. There is however one more thing you need to do here...
- Tag: incorrect per A7 (
- Ok, I've had a look through, and I've added my response above. Not bad, and nothing that would work overly against you in an RFA situation, although you do need to be less quick to delete articles against A7! Stephen! Coming... 16:01, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
- "Acme engineering"? Initiate a username RfC (per WP:CORPNAME). benzband (talk) 12:10, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
