Deletion and reinstatement

There was a long discussion back in 2009 regarding Jon Morter article and concensus was that this was a "one event" thing by the Morters and the details of the Morters was moved to a sub-section in Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" page. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jon and Tracy Morter. My argument at the time as a creator of the original page about them was that this was not just a "one event" thing and that they had been involved in promoting Rick Astley earlier in 2008 for a Christmas #1 and had promissed they would continue with more spoiling campaigns. Despite my arguments, and some support for us keeping the article, it was deleted in 2009. What some editors said was that Tracy Morter had downplayed their role in a Twitter message and poked fun at us highlighting their own crucial role in all of this... (She reportedly said in her Twitter message: I am Tracy Morter, and this page really does need to be deleted (apart from being a little incorrect in places) we do not need a page! Everyone made rage number one, we just had a silly idea. Not worthy of a wiki page)... I think her quote was very crucial and turned the tables and understandably, deleting gained more popularity after that.... Well, the Morters are at it again, and again, and despite our deletions. After our deletion, they continued with a number of other successful campaigns to save BBC 6 Music, then a campaign to support The Rolling Stones (resulting in another #1) and now yet again a Christmas hit with Nirvana (pushing it to #11 on Christmas charts) again through yet more Facebook campaigns. And yet again, they get huge media coverage, and interviews, the whole lot... So this was not a "one event thing" was it? Now add it the many awards and more nominations for awards Jon Morter received in 2010 after we deleted his article and you know there is more to this person than even he wants to admit publicly. According to Wikipedia standards, this is a notable person and has to have an article about his work outside and independent of the Rage Against the Machine small section. Although RATM might have been his biggest achievement, it was not his only one. Thus my all new-written article about Jon Morter including a more comprehensive coverage of the person and the continuing campaigns (as in plural) he has done very successfully impacting how British charts look like for many years passed and hopefully many years to come because of the trend he set. Incidentally this is altogether a new written article completely different from the one deleted after discussion and it containing many information not found in the originally deleted article. werldwayd (talk) 09:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC) werldwayd (talk) 10:33, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jon Morter is at it again also for 2013, after being involved in 2012 with The Justice Collective, he is now supporting according to The Official Charts Company in campaign for "Highway to Hell" from AC/DC fro number 1 in the UK. Refer to extensive section on the campaign [1], all the more reason to keep this article with further notoriety and notability despite what Tracy Morter said in her declaration that "they don't need a wiki" werldwayd (talk) 09:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
