Inquiry of Deletion

[edit]

Hi, I was surprised to see the article Esobi was deleted. Not only because there were more people voted SAVE than DELETE in the discussion of the proposed deletion, but also because I have been a regular user of this app since 2007 and it seems well-known enough among my friends and on some Acer forums. In terms of the usefulness of that article, those people who said SAVE already gave some pretty reasonable statements in the discussion. Just for your reference, there are many other smaller apps that are included on en.wikipedia, some under the same category of Aggregator, so I was wondering why you deleted Esobi particularly. If possible, I was planning to write another article about Esobi mostly focusing on its features. As a loyal Acer PC user, I have recommended lots of Acer computers to my friends, and helped them get acquainted with their new machine. The usually come up with questions regarding the bundled software, especially the PowerDVD, anti-virus stuff and also Esobi. I believe that my friends are not the only people who ask such questions, there must be lots of other users who either own an Acer or are looking for an RSS reader might search for information regarding Esobi. Esobi is a free app on Acer, so there should not be any advertising issues in my opinion. Due to these observations, I truly believe an article regarding Esobi would be useful to the readers. Again, if possible, I would like to upload a new article here, but would like to discuss with you first in case for another debate of deletion. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clairehsu2008 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, there are no reliable sources supporting its notability; just because something is useful or has no advertising issues does not mean that it should have an article. As for the other smaller apps, see WP:WAX; perhaps those articles should be deleted too. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there thank you for taking time to reply to me. As for reliable sources I was wondering if reviews from notable publishers would be ok, such as CNET Download.com and Softpedia.com and some other popular French magazines. I would like to try to write another article about this software program and I would appreciate it if you could discuss with me or other readers before a speedy deletion. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Clairehsu2008 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AFD Closure of Dorothy Malone (writer)

[edit]

Hi King of Hearts. Are you sure that closing the debate on Dorothy Malone as no consensus was the best option? Seeing as how DGG respond to comments regarding his keep vote, I think that it would have made sense to relist it for its second (and per the policy you cited, final) time, as I think the discussion might have benefited. Having said that, I don't really care one way or the other, I was just interested in a bit more insight into your thinking. Cheers, CP 21:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I specified no prejudice against speedy renomination, leaving that option open. The benefit of NPASR is that if the "delete" side is really firm in their beliefs, they will do so, but if even they are not so sure, then maybe it shouldn't be deleted in the first place. Either way, it reduces the amount of bureaucracy involved. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:51, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
D'oh! I didn't realize that that was the acronym stood for. Thanks for enlightening me! Cheers, CP 00:45, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A request ...

[edit]

Hey there! Although I recently contacted Ozler (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) in regards to their constant edits on album pages where they're putting Professional review ratings in bold letters, they still persist in doing so. Although this isn't quite vandalism, this is certainly unconstructive to these pages, thus, I was wondering if you could contact them (hopefully they will listen to you.)--Blastmaster11 (talk) 22:58, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll contact them if I see any more edits of that sort. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:28, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 215

[edit]

Hello KoH, just a little note here. I disabled filter 215, which you updated last. We're hitting the condition limit frequently and this filter seemed to be using a significant number of conditions and all of recent hits (in the last few months) were false positives. Please let me know if you have any concerns with this. Regards, Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 15:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of one-time characters in The Simpsons

[edit]

I have relisted List of one-time characters in The Simpsons for deletion. Apparently this was one discussed before when it was known as List of one-time characters from The Simpsons. Most people have left the project since the list was known by that name. I see that you are still active and wanted to notify you of this posting.

Deletion Page Biochrom

[edit]

I would respectfully ask that you reconsider the deletion of this page, as I have much more information to add with respect to the historical development of the scientific technologies and instruments manufactured by this company putting it in to context with other pages. This will be of interest to those who study science and science history particularly of the growth and consolidations of technology companies through the 1970's and 1980's. I am a newbie and still learning. Thank you SpectralScan (talk) 09:52, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored it to User:SpectralScan/Biochrom, where you can work on it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:34, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Coup of 12 June

[edit]

Heya KOH, I don't know if you'll remember this, but there was an AFD for Coup of 12 June (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) a while back, which I started. The article is/was a content fork, and the result was to redirect it, which has been done and has remained done. My only concern is that the page still contains the complete article history. Normally I'd think that was a great thing, but considering the problematic nature of the content in the history... well, I figured that I should bring it up with you.

I deleted the history. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:57, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Good call, by the way.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Super Obama World. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Yekrats (talk) 14:09, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
