Notability and medic biographies
[edit]Hi, do you know if there are any topic-specific notability guidelines relating to biographies of medical people? I am a bit concerned about Vykunta Raju. - Sitush (talk) 10:28, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- I do not know of any topic-specific medical biog guidelines The standard guideliners biog of living person and notability guidelines of course apply. The article you mention might sensibly be referred to articles for deletion. It does not qualify for speedy deletion. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:37, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. Since there are no topic-specific get-out-of-jail guidelines, I'll do just that. - Sitush (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
Cyprien Iov
[edit]You recently deleted the page Cyprien Iov. Soon after another user recreated the page and keeps removing the speedy deletion tags. I'm not sure how to handle this. Tchaliburton (talk) 05:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- As I've told Tchaliburton several times, and is plain as day in the edit history, I did not recreate the article. I declined their speedy, but via an edit conflict glitch have ended up showing as the article creator. Software glitches happen, but they do not operate to disadvantage editors caught up in them. They've refused to discuss the matter civilly, choosing instead to boilerplate-template my talk page while deleting without responding to my (non-templated) comments on their own. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 06:37, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
- In my opinion this article qualifies for speedy deletion; this hinge on a decision as to whether the stated activity as a blogger is adequate assertion of significance, which I feel it is not. However, as the PROD will expire in a little under two days I have no objection to waiting until this expiration for the fate of the article to be reconsidered. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:07, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Free Donbass
[edit]I notice that you speedily deleted Free Donbass after another admin, DGG, declined the speedy. Would you consider undeleting it? Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:24, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
- No. I concede that the organization, which self-declares not to be a political party, won a significant percentage of the vote described, as noted by DGG. However, as the vote was discounted by the US and EU and by Ukraine, within whose territory is the Donbass oblast, in my view the deletion rationale is valid. Feel free to appeal at deletion review. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:19, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
History of sewing patterns article
[edit]Nate Wessel created History of sewing patterns by removing that information from Pattern (sewing) and making it its own article. You recently deleted that newly-created article as a copyvio of http://www.reconstructinghistory.com/blog/sewing-patterns.html . However, if you check the bottom of that page, it says "From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattern_(sewing)" so it's clear that this blog copied part of that article, not that History of sewing patterns was copied from that page. Can we recreate the article and have it not deleted this time, or can it be undeleted? Thanks! Ca2james (talk) 17:56, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
why would he try and hide this edit= something to hide.
[edit]this guy has deleted stuff from the talk page and has further blocked the other editor. After arguing with him there all day . thought you should have a look .

As I have already stated on your talk page, the actions of the blocking admin are correct. Incidentally your excessive use of upper-case letters, while not technically wrong, is not helpful and some editors would find it irritating. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of Salewa page
[edit]You recently deleted the Salewa page I created. I am in no way connected to the company (but have purchased something by them and was surprised there wasn't a page for them already) so it is not advertising/self-promotion. There is a lengthy German language article on Salewa and it is linked to from the Wild Country page (which is a subsidiary of Salewa). I realise I did not have a lot of information and should perhaps have marked it as a stub but I do feel it is worthy of a page. I would like to put it back and try to add more detail when I am able to. If you still feel it shouldn't be there, please could you explain why? Thanks. Devilsevilhair (talk) 19:47, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
- I deleted on the two bases that the article promoted a non-notable company. The German article is not relevant. You have two options: you can either apply at deletion review page and ask the community to overturn my decision; or you can write an extended article and submit it. What is not an option is for me to restore the deleted article in the expectation of its being upgraded at some future date. Best wishes. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:42, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of Cassandra Saturn Page
[edit]I'm contesting this and brought it to Deletion Review Board today to contest the deletion by you. I wroted the reason before it was deletion. the Article was representation of what I do in real life and various places. CassandraSaturn (talk) 23:41, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
You may be interested in User:CassandraSaturn/sandbox and my accompanying talk page note. --NeilN talk to me 18:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- To clarify the situation; we are not discussing, nor did I delete, the Cassandra Saturn page. I deleted the User:Cassandra Saturn page. The article "Cassandra Saturn", had it existed, would almost certainly have qualified for speedy deletion under at least two categories; as a user page being used inappropriately the same reasons apply, but with incorrect use of a userpage in addition.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:05, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- I note the discussion at deletion review, which endorsed my deletion. There is a little discussion as to whether it should have been G11 or A7, but hey......--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:10, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Clarification
[edit]Hey Anthony! Viewing the edit filter log, I stumbled upon Anthony Bradbury2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The question is, is this account by any chance yours? I also looked vandalism at Anthony Bradbury abroad, which by your userpage, you state is yours. So if possible take a look at that too. Best, ///EuroCarGT 05:22, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Reg. Deletion "Soft Robotics"
[edit]Hey Anthony! Thanks for checking on the "Soft Robotics" article. You initiated the deletion based on a copyright infringement G12 for the following link: http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fbioe.2014.00003/full However, I am not sure why. The cited article is available for free (the link works) and the journal is open access. Can you please clarify what should be changed here? Thank you and have a great day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirJamesHunt (talk • contribs) 08:49, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- The article is free access, agreed, but there are specific conditions to reproduction stipulated in the © statement (specifically in regard to correct attribution to authors and journal) which, as far as I can see, you have not complied with. If the journal, authors and the specific article are contained in the article then accept my apologies; point them out and I will restore the article. Alternatively, if you are happy to insert the apparently missing data I will send the text to your talkpage where you can attend to this and then re-post the article.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:04, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. I tried to look at the draft of the article again to see which information is there and which part is missing so that I can update it accordingly. Unfortunately, I was not able to find a way to access it. Where can I find the draft? Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirJamesHunt (talk • contribs) 11:56, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear Anthony!
As far as I was able to understand you are referring not to the paper, but a figure in the paper that is used on Wikipedia as well, right?
Can you please let me know which figure of http://journal.frontiersin.org/Journal/10.3389/fbioe.2014.00003/full is the issue? Since I don't have access to the draft I don't know which one it was.
I can then contact the person who uploaded it to add the missing information.
Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirJamesHunt (talk • contribs) 18:03, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear Anthony,
I am one of the contributors and author of the draft on Soft Robotics.
We would change the reference and picture that caused the misunderstanding.
Could you please let us know how we can have again the page on the web?
Thank you very much,
LauraLauMarghe (talk) 13:10, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Dear Anthony,

RE: Deletion of Pedophilia/FAQ
[edit]Hello. I noticed you deleted Pedophilia/FAQ for the reason "G6: No subpages in mainspace." This page is actually for the talk page since it is a permanently semi-protected article and is intended to address repeated questions asked on that talk page, just like at Talk:Homophobia. Could you please restore it or advise on how to properly include this information on the talk page. Thanks.Legitimus (talk) 17:25, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- If you feel that these questions belong on the talk page of the article then you should post them there. The article as created is not a valid encyclopedia article. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 17:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh ok I think see the problem now. Is there anyway I could retrieve the text so I can implement it correctly?Legitimus (talk) 19:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I will post the text onto your talk page. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:26, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks, but it appears this is not the content that was contained in the FAQ. I think it was probably in the Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ
- Legitimus (talk) 20:37, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- That's it. Thanks.Legitimus (talk) 20:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- I will post the text onto your talk page. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:26, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- Oh ok I think see the problem now. Is there anyway I could retrieve the text so I can implement it correctly?Legitimus (talk) 19:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
- While I understand why you deleted Pedophilia/FAQ. Like Legitimus, I'm not seeing the problem with having Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ; as noted, Talk:Homophobia/FAQ also exists, but has yet to be deleted. With Pedophilia/FAQ, a new editor recently created that, which is why it was tagged for deletion. That doesn't mean that Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ should have been deleted as well. Flyer22 (talk) 22:05, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
You will note that I have posted his text on Legitimus' talk page for him to work on. The essential point is that the article, as presented, made no sense, and the FAQs in a talk page cannot stand alone, without being linked to an article page. If the FAQs can stand alone, with appropriate sources, then they should be presented as an article; if they cannot, they should appear, if anywhere, in the Pedophilia talk page. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not completely sure what your point is, but Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ can validly exist just like Talk:Homophobia/FAQ validly exists. If it were truly a problem, you would have deleted Talk:Homophobia/FAQ by now. I will either simply restore Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ, or wait and see if Legitimus does, or take the matter to WP:Deletion review for wider input. Flyer22 (talk) 13:52, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- On second thought: I might reconsider/am reconsidering. Flyer22 (talk) 14:08, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- Anthony, I don't think your interpretation of "talk page with no article page to refer to" is correct. See, for example, Talk:Pedophilia/Archive 1 (or pretty much any other article talk page archive page name). Article namespace does not have subpages, but article talk namespace can, and does, and a FAQ is a reasonable use of a subpage. Whether it's the best way to do it, I leave to others to decide, but it's not a speedy candidate. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:33, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- Also, giving someone the text of the FAQ for them to repost elsewhere, but deleting the page, loses attribution for the FAQ. --Floquenbeam (talk) 15:39, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Ah, I missed an important point; it was Pedophilia/FAQ not Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ. The first is not allowed, the second is OK. I'm tempted to undelete and move it, but I'll wait a bit to see if you've thought of something I haven't. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:05, 7 January 2015 (UTC)- I'm making a pig's ear out of this, due to my own confusion and lack of coffee. I think I've got it right now. Pedophilia/FAQ was not a legitimate page, and correctly speedy depeted. Talk:Pedophilia/FAQ is a legit page (for reasons mentioned above), and should not have been deleted. I'm proposing to leave the illegal article subpage deleted, and undelete the talk subpage (unless/until anyone decides they want to handle the FAQ differently). Sorry if my confusion confused you. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:09, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- I've restored the valid talk subpage; if you look at the use of {{FAQ}} here, it's long established that this use of a FAQ subpage is OK. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- OK, nolo contendere. My error happened because I found Pedophilia/FAQ first; it was clearly mangled and meaningless and speedy-deletable, as we agree. the talk page appeared to be linked to that page, but I did not see a link to Pedophilia, hence my action which I concede was incorrect. Apologies to all concerned.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:52, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- As you can see above, I got confused too. No harm no foul. I'm just pleasantly surprised to be right about something for a change... --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:05, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

You deleted User:Bbcc.web.master via G11. That page to me looks pretty close to the disclosure of a conflict of interest required by the Terms of Use. Now the user hasn't addressed the username issue that saw them blocked, but I'm not quite sure what I should tell them about the userpage; to me it looks closer to "required" than "prohibited". Could you help them at User talk:Bbcc.web.master? Thanks, Huon (talk) 23:40, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your intervention in identifying and stopping a vandal whose edit history was extensive and for the most part, undetected, although numerous other editors corrected the edits that were made.

Alexandra Bădoi
[edit]Hi! I noticed that you speedily deleted article Alexandra Bădoi as A7 [2]. it was proposed for speedy deletion by User:Biruitorul (not once, but twice, although he did not inform the author of the page about the deletion). I objected to the deletion both at the article talk page and at User_talk:Biruitorul#Alexandra Bădoi. The article was very short, it did not have claim of significance, but as I pointed out, a simple Google search is enough to see that the person is notable. Google News search returns more than 17.000 hits [3] and Romanian Wikipedia has a well sourced article about the same person (ro:Alexandra_Bădoi). I agree that your deletion was not contrary to the policies, but it did not help Wikipedia in any way. An article about clearly notable person was deleted only because the author was inexperienced. This may discourage his to continue to edit Wikipedia. I think you should undelete the article. Thanks! Vanjagenije (talk) 20:29, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- as you point out, the article did not contain a claim of significance. And the creator of the article, who you believe is inexperienced, has been editing Wikipedia, although not in a massive way, since July 2009.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:42, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
- Ok. I made a request for a deletion review. It's here: Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2015_January_11. You may want to participate. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

Your assistance please...
[edit]You deleted the article on Glenn Neville Ford as an A7. It seems my buddy User:Sherurcij started it. Some of the articles he started, years ago, may have met the standards current when he started them, while others could be made to measure up. I request userification of this one, so I can see whether it falls into the second class. If I can't figure out a way to make it measure up I'll place a {{u1}} on it.
Thanks Geo Swan (talk) 01:36, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
- Firstly, apologies for the delay. I have been away and only returned today to the PC. Looking again at the article, it is difficult to see how it could be made acceptable, as the entire event sequence appears to me to be lacking in encyclopedic notability, given that Mr Ford was shown in court not to be connected to the events described. But I have no problem in userfying it, and will do so when I finish this notification. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:42, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for the snapshot.
- Having looked at the revision history, could you please confirm or refute my guess that this article was the work of User:Sherurcij? I need to know this since, even if its current state doesn't measure up to the inclsuion standards here it does meet the inclusion criteria of some non-WMF wikis. Porting the article there would be my next step, except, to do that in a way that complies with the license under which the material was contributed requires confirmation of who contributed it. Although we release most of their IP rights, contributors are entitled to have their intellectual contributions attributed. Geo Swan (talk) 21:56, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
- I did some work on User:Geo Swan/review/Glenn Neville Ford. He is, IMO, borderline. You are correct, he was acquitted. On the other hand he is alleged to have founded the Toronto chapter of an organization the FBI characterized as a "terror front". The court case established he traveled to Pakistan to study under this organization's founder. BLP1E is supposed to be protect individuals whose brush with an event make them notable throough no act of their own. But are individuals who found groups, or the local chapters there-of, the kind of non-notable person who might be described as having become notable by accident? Or, does the decision to found a group, or found its local chapter, mean that notability that flows from their association with that group should no longer be considered accidental.
- I am going to ask a few other people what else they think it would need before it made sense to consider restoring it to article space.
- Of course I would be interested in your opinion -- if your interest extends to offering any more thoughts as to what else was needed to push Glenn Neville Ford unambiguously past our current inclusion criteria.
- Cheers! Geo Swan (talk) 00:47, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

[edit]Block evasion of User:Shivanshsinghrajpoot here (although already blocked as such). Widr (talk) 11:38, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Anthony Bradbury, I was surprised to see Passion: Hymns Ancient and Modern deleted as A9, although from looking at it, the quality left something to be desired. The Passion Conferences music CDs are not a particular band. When the music credits "Passion Worship Band", it's not a particular group of singers, like, say, the Beatles or Metallica. Rather, it's just a compilation of tracks from whoever was singing at the Passion Conference that year. I don't have a strong opinion on whether each one of these CDs ought to have its own article (from looking at Passion_Conferences#Discography, maybe half of them do). But A9 isn't really a reason to delete it as there is an article - Passion Conferences - on the corresponding "band". I can tell you that this music is extremely popular within the evangelical Christian community and is overwhelmingly notable.[4] As for the notability of this album itself, the only thing I could find in a few minutes of looking for third party professional reviews was at [5]. In any event, whether we need to have articles on every single annual CD they put out every year, I don't think A9 is a reason to delete it. --B (talk) 18:13, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- The same goes for Passion: One Day Live, Passion: Better Is One Day, and Passion: The Road to One Day. Thanks. --B (talk) 18:16, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- I do not feel that restoring these articles is appropriate except at the request of the community. Feel free to take your query to deletion review.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:21, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2015_April_17#Four_CDs_from_Passion_Conferences. Though I don't fault you for deleting the articles (as it would appear, upon first glance, that A9 was met since Passion Worship Band was a redlink), you should take it to AFD if you want it to stay deleted - not delete it and then say it needs community consensus to overturn the deletion. --B (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- I am sorry, but I do not agree with you. I have made a decision regarding deletion; both you and the author may feel that this decision was wronh, but I do not. If any editor whose article had been speedy-deleted could request, and expect, that any query would result in a restoration of the page and an AfD discussion then the AfD page would be vastly bigger than it is now. Many editors query the deletion of pages they have created, and deletion review is the correct channel for them to pursue.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 18:55, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
- Speedy deletion should only be used in what are completely non-controversial cases because we, as a community, have come together and agreed that topics meeting those criteria are inappropriate for Wikipedia. If the article deleted actually meets those criteria, then no, you should not restore it and bring it there. The reason I asked you to restore these articles is because they do not meet the speedy deletion criteria. You don't get to delete any article you don't like - you delete articles that meet the criteria for speedy deletion. If, as in this case, you incorrectly believed that the article met the criterion in question (an article about an album where the band had no corresponding article), once you are informed that your belief was incorrect (there is an article - Passion Conferences), you should restore it. Whether you would like to take these articles to AFD after restoration is purely up to you. --B (talk) 19:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

- Speedy deletion should only be used in what are completely non-controversial cases because we, as a community, have come together and agreed that topics meeting those criteria are inappropriate for Wikipedia. If the article deleted actually meets those criteria, then no, you should not restore it and bring it there. The reason I asked you to restore these articles is because they do not meet the speedy deletion criteria.

Deletion of Draft:Pettend (thanks)
[edit]Thanks for deleting that, I ust wanted to say thanks because I doubt you get many for your work at CSD. The content was copy/pasted into the mainspace, which in this case was reasonable as it had very little content, and the draft only had my working notes in its history and nothing useful going forward. (I didn't do the copy/paste myself, User:Dr. Blofeld, who asked me to translate it, did.) I know it's just procedural but still, a thankyou costs nothing. Si Trew (talk) 06:28, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I created and posted an article on the above subject, making darned sure that the organisation had "been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources," which are all footnoted, but you deleted the piece as "unambiguous advertising." I guess there is an honest difference of opinion between us two editors, so I'm asking you to put the article into WP:AFD. Sincerely, BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 14:09, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Unblock on hold
[edit]There is an unblock request at User talk:Guilaine-Standards. The editor had previously been blocked for username reason, and unblocked to request a change of username on 7th May. On 21 May Joseph2302 posted to the user talk page, saying "It's 2 weeks later, and the user hasn't changed their name." You then placed a block, and posted on the user talk page "Until you apply for username change under the block notice. However, the editor has had the username changed, as you can see from the edit summary here. It looks to me as though the second block was a mistake, but rather than just unblocking I am checking with you in case there is some reason why the new username is also unacceptable. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- My mistake, at least partially. I was responding to a block imposed by another admin which requested a username change as a prerequisite to unblock, which change had not been made. But I understand that the original block was in fact an error. The original blocking admin has correctly unblocked. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello!
[edit]Hey there!
I have two quick questions:
1: Why is your talk page semi-protected? Is someone harassing you?
2: What does "Willing to make difficult blocks" mean? Does it have to do with the above?
Thanks!--Quantum Particles (talk) 22:26, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
- My friend, I have been an editor here for something over nine years, and an admin for over eight. If someone was harassing me I would be fully competent to deal with the problem. I tend to spend a great deal of time on various Wikipedia protection activities, and a high proportion of vandals are IP editors. Semiprotecting prevents these editors from posting abuse on my page, which was a problem before I changed the protection level, without in any way hindering editing by established editors.
In answer to your second question - no, it does not have anything to do with the above. It merely is an expression of my significant length of admin experience here. Some blocks are clearly and obviously appropriate - gross obscenity, attack pagers, etc - and some require in-depth analysis. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 20:58, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for answering!--Quantum Particles (talk) 21:15, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that you recently deleted the article of KKGB. As a licensed full powered radio station that originates a portion of its content in its studios, KKGB would be considered notable according to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes#Broadcast media. As such, the article had a credible claim of significance and should not have qualified for speedy deletion under WP:A7.--Tdl1060 (talk) 22:08, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

I realize that a deletion request was made on the page several weeks ago, but the warning of impending deletion was place on the primary editor's talk page (me) less than a day before your deletion. Such rapid deletions only create unnecessary bureaucracy for everyone. How can we improve the length of time between the primary editor getting a talk page notice and the final deletion? Some of us get bogged down in life and those warnings are great reminders to come back and edit, but this experience is more annoying than the friendly "hay, come back and have some fun with this article you forgot about" that it should have been. Dkriegls (talk to me!) 21:01, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
- I deleted this article on the basis that it had, having been initially posted as an article for consideration thereafter lain for more than six months without being edited. It therefore qualified for a speedy deletion under category G13. But if you now which to work on the article let me know and I will post the text to your talk page. As to the length of time, I repeat the article had not been edited for in excess of six months, which may be seen as adequate time to work on an article which one intends to work on.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:16, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Question about username and blocking policy
[edit]Hi, Anthony,
I'm trying to understand the nuances of blocking policy and I had a general question for you about one of your admin actions because I find the original warning notices puzzling. On User talk:Focalofficial, at the top of the page, the editor received a notice about a block because of their username and the notice says: You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself
and only to post an unblock template if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username
.
So, it seems like the advice given to blocked editors is to abandon the blocked account and create one with a better username. But it seems like if an editor does that, they are seen as guilty of block evasion. In this particular case, the editor started using Focalofficial 2013 for one edit, then switched to User:Seb42 (which isn't a blocked account) but today posted this unblock request for Focalofficial. So, this is an unusual situation. But if the instructions advise the editor to go create a new account, I don't see how this is block evasion. I'm sure this is a common situation so it seems like perhaps the username block notice needs to be reworded if this is how this action is viewed by administrators.
Thanks for any insight you can provide here. Liz Read! Talk! 20:12, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- A fair question. My understanding, and the guideline I work to, is that an editor who creates an account with a promotional username but makes no edits is encouraged to simply create a fresh account with a more acceptable name. If, however, they have made edits and been blocked then if the block is imposed because of the content of the edits then creating a new account is block evasion. If the block is a username block and the editor wishes to retain his edits under a new username then he must seek an unblock to do so. If he wishes to abandon his edits, and as I say is not blocked because of said edits, he can create a new account without penalty.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 10:38, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Deletion of Baltimore City Health Department page
[edit]You recently deleted a page about the Baltimore City Health Department for a copyright violation. You stated that some information was too similar to what's found through this link: http://health.baltimorecity.gov/programs/what-we-do. Firstly, after the initial rejection of the article, I went back and changed the language of the article so that it was not a direct copy and paste and properly cited the website I used as a reference. Was this not sufficient? Secondly, this violation only pertains to one section of the article since the rest of the article, containing the history of the health department and the response to the riots, is completely original and properly cited. Even if the "Programs" section of the article has to be deleted, is there any way to restore the rest of the article? The rest of the article meets the copyright criteria and all other standards as far as past reviews have shown.

- Not really. I believe that the game is scheduled for release today, although whether that happened I do not know. When it has existed long enough for reliable third-party sources to mention it, an article would be appropriate; it is important that it should not read like an advertisement, and bear in mind that your own personal experience of the game, if and when, is not relevant here. See original research.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:03, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Anthony,
I am contacting you as an OTRS volunteer regarding the draft of the page mentioned in the subject heading, which you deleted as a copyright infringement. It appears the creator of the article has agreed to donate his text under OTRS ticket number 2015062310012324, and has requested that the page be undeleted. On the other hand, I have also read the text of the article draft (as it was sent to me by the author), and I am not sure it qualifies as a Wikipedia article on various other grounds— you may wish to address that as you see fit. On copyright infringement, at any rate, it appears to be clear. Let me know if you have questions/ concerns (a ping is the best way to get my attention). Thanks!

As could be read in the article itself (and in the source), this sport event has been held annualy for over 40 years, and tens of thousands have participated.

Sarkar
[edit]Hi, I would like to contest your speedy deletion of Sucharit Sarkar. Being a professor of Princeton (one of world's best univ) is a claim to notability and he has got a paper with citation count 171 (pretty impressive for a low citation field that is maths). I faintly remember viewing the pre-deleted version of the article and I believe the article creator (not me) wasn't notified. To me this amounts to avoid scrutiny. I request you to undelete it (of course feel free to Afd, if you must). Solomon7968 16:52, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
- As you say, I deleted this article (in February 2014) on the basis of there being no assertion of notability. I have just reviewed the article, and there is no such assertion; holding a professorship at Princeton is not of itself an adequate assertion. The article has been amended several times, and negative comments relating to notability have been made by two or three other editors. if you wish to place this before the community, please take it to deletion review. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:32, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Anthony. Could you provide the URL of where this was copied from? I can't find it anywhere else. Cheers SmartSE (talk) 16:47, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
- http://research.omicsgroup.org is the article. It may well be that the author of this owns copyright on the wiki article; he di not say so and the original article is copyrighted.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 22:28, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
You have recently gave me a warning for vandalism on the page on Jews , I added Adolf Hitler to the list of memorable people , As he was a large part in the history I do not see this as justifiable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aarongaming100 (talk • contribs) 12:46, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
In June of 2015 you deleted a page with the title Lohanthony because you said it was and I quote: "No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events): Self promotion / vanity page." but there is other pages of "Internet Personality" ie. Nash Grier and Hayes Grier who have Wiki Pages who even more irrelevant pages then said page and even less experience in the internet personality career platform then 'Lohanthony'. Why would you delete a page if it is not even as relevant or as indicated importance of the said page.

- An individual whose only alleged notability is a presence on internet media channels in my opinion is adequately described by my reason for deletion. If you wish to contest the deletion feel free to take your request to deletion review.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 12:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
