Question Regarding Speedy Deletion
[edit]Is there a way that I can delete my page by myself to avoid displaying the deletion message on the Web? Also, may I know what parts to fix?
Filter 58 falsepos
[edit]I'm not super knowledgable about edit filters, but it seems this is a false positive that prevented a user to post his Draft; I had to do it for him (he came to IRC for help). I'm just letting you know in case it is something fixable. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 20:56, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- It does seem like a false positive, but I can't tell right off what set off the filter. I'll look at it again. I note that the article is pretty darn promotional. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 20:59, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- I changed the filter so that it shouldn't hit drafts any more. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:02, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that draft is far from ready to be published, but that's what drafting is for. :) Thanks for the quick reply! ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 21:06, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi guys. Can you guys help me understand why that page was not notable and deleted? What else should I include? There's a bunch of third-party news articles etc for references, with dates, authors and everything. Should I improve the biography? That guy is on a #1 Billboard album right now, I thought that'd be notable. (talk) 04:02, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

More Socks More Problems
[edit]Looks like a new wave of edit filters might be in order :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ • T ♀ C 02:28, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

BIG SEASON MUZIK IS A REAL PERSON, HE DESERVES A FUCKING PAGE, STOP TRYING TO DELETE IT FOR GOD SAKE!!! SMH!!!
- He might be real, but he doesn't meet our criteria for notable musicians, see WP:MUSIC. NawlinWiki (talk) 23:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
I can't frikin' wait!!!
[edit]Okay, maybe I can. :-)
Here's the thing.
you put a protect on the talk page of the article 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict. I was wondering if there could be an external link to Israel attacks Hamas leadership targets in the Gaza Strip—I've already put a link in their article to the WP one, but I can't seem to ask for it here. When I try edit request, all I get is the source. I suppose I can wait, but what if another protection is put up? What do you say. I'll check on this page later. Cheers.199.119.232.209 (talk) 06:23, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Unprotected, go for it. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 12:48, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
Filter 31 again
[edit]Hi - a lot of false positives at the moment, including such as this one which is a simple talkpage post and lots like this which are simply anons trying to add wikilinks and/or templates (which appears to be the {{ and }} triggering it). Thanks, Black Kite (talk) 12:33, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
- Looks like it's objecting to wikilinks inside quotes or near other punctuation (i.e. [1]) which is a pretty common valid pattern - and of course they don't actually have to be adding that pattern anyway (i.e. [2]).. Cheers, Black Kite (talk) 01:44, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
ReCreation of a Page Once Speedily Deleted
[edit]Hello there! I am contacting you in regards to a page that my colleague attempted to create in January. We are both employees of the company page that is currently in draft form and therefore have a conflict of interest. I have taken the time to carefully review Wiki's guidelines (however, I am very new to editing and to the community!). I understand that it is strongly recommended to reach out to the person who may have deleted the article in the past, and to notify him or her that I am working on recreating the page.
It is currently in draft mode and has not been submitted for publication review. I would so appreciate any feedback, advice or suggestions you may have while the page is in draft phase. I fully respect Wiki's rules and would like to make sure the submission is honest, objective and notable.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to ensure the draft is acceptable for review. Any and all advice is welcome.
Thank you very much for your time and patience! Lizfarabee (talk) 20:07, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for notifying me. Don't refer to the company's principals by their first names, please - or do anything else that makes the page look like promotion for the company rather than a neutral article. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:29, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
Semi-protection of my talk page
[edit]Hi. Could you explain to me why my talk page has been temporarily semi-protected for sock-puppetry? I don't seem to understand what's going on here. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 17:35, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Your page was being vandalized by User:David Beals sockpuppets. I used selective deletion to get rid of the vandal edits, which is why you can't see them. The semiprotection is only for 12 hours. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Oh thanks. I would've liked to see how it was vandalised though. Davykamanzi → talk • contribs • alter ego 18:36, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- That particular vandal places YouTube links to videos of ceiling fans. No, I don't get it either. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:37, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Full protection of AN/I
[edit]Did you intend to fully protect AN/I for 6 hours? Monty845 20:09, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- I was getting ready to ask the same question. I think he meant semi-protection, considering it was an IP Dusti*Let's talk!* 20:13, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Full protection of ANI is a very bad idea. DuncanHill (talk) 20:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
NawlinWiki, when I told you to shut this bitch down I'm not if that is what I mean't. I don't know whether to Facepalm or give you two thumbs up. 187.185.28.237 (talk) 20:17, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
There are sometimes good reasons to do unusual things. Can you explain? (here or on IRC?) --Kim Bruning (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- And when one can't think of a good reason, just go with the most obvious -- stupidity. 189.235.32.171 (talk) 20:19, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hanlon's razor? :-P Well, maybe, but that depends on NawlinWiki's thoughts, right? ;-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 20:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Lowered the protection to semi, hoping that I divined your intentions. Will get around to blocking impolite commentators soonish. Favonian (talk) 20:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yep, meant to semi, my mistake. Thanks all. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- 'sOK. It looks awesome on your resume. O:-) Though you're going to have to work a bit harder to make it into the Village stocks --Kim Bruning (talk) 20:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
I disagree with your speedy deletion
[edit]Hello.
I believe that you have incorrectly speedily deleted a Wikipedia article that I created.
While I understand that you may not consider Clubs always "notable", I feel that this particular club is good enough (a website, twitter,and lots of other stuff) and controversial enough to be kept on as an article.
I think that this club will become even more popular in the forseeable future having grown in popularity very rapidly of late.
Please consider reinstating my article, not least because I spent a lot of time and effort on it and was dismayed to see it 'speedily deleted'.
Regards,
User:boltcrbetitorEdfilmsuk (talk) 22:03, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- I'm sorry about the effort that you put into the article. But we don't do articles based on the author's belief that something is the Next Big Thing. Also, see our website notability guidelines at WP:WEB. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:18, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of Company Connector
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki, on July 29th I asked about Company Connector, a previoudly deleted page (see the archives). You responded and I recently asked a follow up question. I'm not sure if you check or the archives (or if I even should have written it there), so posting again here.
- You said: The article I deleted in 2013 had no content at all. You should be aware that we discourage people from writing about their own companies on Wikipedia, see WP:COI. Any article about the company would have to show that it meets our notability standards, WP:CORP, as shown by reliable, independent sources, WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:56, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
- I responded: Hi NawlinWiki, Thanks for getting back to me. And thanks for reminding me about the requirements. Could I ask your opinion on my independent sources? Would these two be enough and reliable?
Btw, let me know if I should be responding to you somewhere else. Thanks again for the help, Joehallett3 (talk) 20:25, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- In my opinion, college newspapers don't count as significant news coverage. And this is the right place to find me - sorry for not seeing your comment in the archives. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:16, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Recreation of M-GO
[edit]Hello, I appreciate your effort in making sure published articles are up to standard on Wikipedia. I am writing this message to ask for your advice. As I was about to publish an article titled "M-GO", I discovered to my surprise that it had been created and deleted once on June 2, 2014, as an "unambiguous advertising or promotion". I do not know what the first article looked like but I suspect that its deletion had a lot to do with its wording and style. I have then painstakingly written a new article that complies, to the best of my knowledge, to WP policies and rules and most importantly emulates similar WP articles in the same category (ex. Hulu, Netflix, Vudu). Just like another editor asked you in the previous post "ReCreation of a Page Once Speedily Deleted", I am asking your cooperation and expertise in evaluating the draft I have written in my sandbox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bostonscribe/sandbox/OGM I will be most grateful if you could tell me if it is now acceptable for publication. Thank you for your cooperation. Bostonscribe (talk) 21:56, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- That draft looks generally good. These sentences appear promotional: "To securely deliver and playback premium content, M-GO implements several Digital rights management (DRM) technologies seamlessly and transparently for consumers while protecting movies rights. For the best user experience M-GO is involved in building and adopting adaptive bitrate streaming technology such as smooth streaming, HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), and MPEG-DASH." Please rewrite these without the adjectives. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 12:45, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your appreciation and advice. I really appreciate your input. Bostonscribe (talk) 14:46, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
Question Regarding Speedy Deletion
[edit]Hello, can you please explain why the page was deleted and how can it be fixed? Thank you Internetman2014 (talk) 22:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Internetman2014 (talk • contribs) 22:01, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
- The page was deleted because it was written in a promotional fashion. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:42, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
Vandalism
[edit]Dear Nawlin, thank you for yer quick action in reverting my obvious vandalism, but I'm curious as to why you admins don't just block straight after the first vandalism. Wouldn't it have been better to block for a day? Sincerely, the IP known as 92.40.249.19 (talk) 14:45, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- We believe in giving people second chances. Samsara (FA • FP) 14:59, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Well that explains why Wikipedia is in such a poor state. Do you not find that editors spend more time repairing damage than actually building the place up? I just looked at your warning templates, do you really wait for four acts of vandalism before someone does something about it? Why not just two warnings? 92.40.249.19 (talk) 15:17, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- Because people might not know the tools when they first start. Many will make a "test edit" because they don't believe their changes will really show up. Next, they might do it again just to show their friends. So there's a margin of error built in within which we expect people to start showing positive and constructive behaviour. Samsara (FA • FP) 15:30, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- I see. So basically you're accounting for the teenagers who vandalise for a bit of fun, but will then grow up very quickly? A little unrealistic perhaps?. Thank you for your careful answers. 92.40.249.19 (talk) 15:59, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
- My pleasure. It might work on you. You'll see. ;) Samsara (FA • FP) 16:16, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

[edit]Thank you for cleaning up the spam on my user page, and blocking the IP. What was that?
Bearian (talk) 15:00, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Give me time ;)
[edit]I'm just starting to create the page PLUSPLUS, give me time, I've only had like 5 mins :) Thanks ProcEnforce (talk) 19:52, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Hwaet
[edit]Hi. It looks like you deleted the article Hwaet as an expired PROD. I could be mistaken, but I think the article had only been tagged with a PROD template for about 8 minutes before it was deleted. Granted, the article's quality was pretty poor and probably fell under WP:CSD#A1 (no context). Just thought I'd let you know about this. Best, Mz7 (talk) 20:02, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Vandalism by Prithvie009
[edit]The vandalism by this user account is a direct continuation of vandalism by 122.177.86.115 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), with the named user account, Prithvie009 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), being created one minute after the IP got a final warning. Both this user and the IP make the exact same edits, adding the name of a Prithvie something, who apparently is a footballer in India. Thomas.W talk 16:04, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Quick Reminder - July 31 posting
[edit]Hi NawlinWiki, may I politely draw your attention to my post made on July 31 which I suspect your end-of-month archiving routine has moved to User_talk:NawlinWiki/Archive_88#Article_Gen_Re.2C_edits_on_financial_security_and_historical_information_revoked before you had a chance to notice it? Thank you much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by General Re (talk • contribs) 17:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- It's still too promotional - "The growth years"; "one of the leading", and other copy that makes this sound like the company official history. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:00, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Birthday card
[edit]HI, you recently deleted a page I created. I understand you are just doing your job, but maybe could you not be so efficient? Its a joke, really only necessary until 7pm central time. I made it to go along with a birthday card. I knew the page would be deleted, but I was hoping my father-in-law could see it and get a laugh first.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Savk322 (talk • contribs) 21:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
- That's nice, but if we allowed one joke/shoutout page, we'd have thousands. See WP:NOT. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:58, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
How to deal with Administrator who is vandalizing?
[edit]Hello,
The user Deb is vandalizing the May 22 wikipedia page by constantly reverting to her edit which deletes many legitimate entries. I have tried posting on her talk page and she still continues to revert to her edits. Her edits are illegitimate deletions.
This user must be stopped. She is behaving in a malicious and inconsiderate manner, yet she is also an administrator. Where can I solicit help for this situation?
Thanks
- As I said on your talk page, try WP:AN or WP:ANI. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Why action on my talk page?
[edit]Hello Nawlin, just wondered why my talk page got deleted, recreated, and protected earlier today, with references to persistent sockpuppetry. There's nothing untoward in the edit history. And I have certainly not been involved in any sockpuppetry: Noyster (talk), 14:41, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- It wasn't you, it was a sock of banned User:David Beals, posting random vandalism to user talk pages. I deleted the edits in question per Wikipedia:Selective deletion. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:42, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
A beer for you!
[edit]Many thanks for protecting my talk page - Enjoy!! Denisarona (talk) 15:12, 20 August 2014 (UTC) |
- Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 15:48, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
Blocking of 118.96.220.117
[edit]Hi, sorry if I'm being blind here, but in diff/622087772, HBC AIV helperbot11 says that you blocked 118.96.220.117, yet the log for said user is empty. This is after HBC AIV helperbot11 said the same re Drmies. I'm confused, and wonder if you could explain why this is so? Thanks. —WOFall (talk) 19:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- Interesting. Drmies (talk) 19:08, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I don't get it either, but I have now blocked the IP. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
copy-pasted from deletion log:
"15:33, August 19, 2014 NawlinWiki (talk | contribs) deleted page Hit By Lightning (Film) (Multiple reasons: speedy deletion criteria G11, A7)"
This brought another editor to speedy it again a few minutes later when recreated. But he took a drubbing at today's AFD for lack of WP:BEFORE. When he offered the time code, I found what he did... but in looking through your contribs, I was unable to find any such action for that time and date (Is the deletion log broke?), and could not find you notifying an author.
I feel G11 is an iffy call for a two-sentence improvable stub and A7 does not apply to films. With great respects, had you done jusdt a little BEFORE, you might have learned that by the article's creation on August 19, the film had already had its debut and the topic was eminently sourcable. Just goes to show that even the most experienced admins can sometimes err. Schmidt, Michael Q. 09:00, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Ronald L. Dirsmith, The Chicago Film Archives, and the List of Fellows of the American Academy in Rome 1896–1970
[edit]Dear NawlinWiki:
Somehow on 20 August, 2014 at 14:20 you inadvertently erased the distinguished record and listing of Ronald L. Dirsmith, FAAR, NA, Fellow in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome, 1960 when you chose to delete the page, Ronald L. Dirsmith, from Wikipedia. Please restore the page and references in whatever form is appropriate. We will agree to post no notices or articles on this page as we work with you to resolve how to write and edit support articles for the not-for-profit cultural arts, research and film conservation organization, The Chicago Film Archives Collection. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/5359[1]Mozza&pomo (talk) 22:19, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

List of Fellows of the American Academy in Rome 1896–1970 [2]
As background support for the original article posted, recently our grandson somehow found that the Chicago Film Archives had in their archival collection some 600 films done by Rhodes Paterson for Container Corporation of America about 40 years ago. We called their chief conservator and asked about their goals in researching, archiving and preserving such films. After learning about their extraordinary conservation efforts we offered to provide them with finished photos, drawings, other films and images to include in their historic archives which they gratefully accepted. This is what they have placed on their site and why we included the link on Walter Paepcke's and Container Corporation of America's pages. Lost in the mists of time were memories of Paepcke's and Rhodes Patterson's original decision to include Suzanne’s and Ron’s work in their “Great Ideas of Western Man” film series. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/5880[3]
All of the drawings and photographs included in our original article http://www.dirsmithgroup.com/Chicago_Film_Archives_Collection+HEFNER_EDITED.pdf[4] were prepared and owned by Ron Dismith, FAAR, NA. They were given to the CFA for their research and use http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/5359[5]
Many of the drawings and Photographs have also been given to and uploaded years ago in the Public Domain and Wikimedia Creative Commons, having been uploaded to commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File in a number of formats and sizes for public use. They all meet the copyright requirements as signed when uploading ... "I, the copyright holder of this work, hereby publish it under the following licenses under CC-BY-SA-2.0 and GFDL.

CFA is a not-for-profit cultural arts organization which is the main reason we offered to help their wonderful efforts.

Please assist us to learn about Wikipedia so we can help The Chicago Film Archives Curators and their Researchers work especially in posting our photos and drawings in an easily accessible format for them as we did in our initial odf file.

No one at the AR or our IT Gurus can visualize how you could delete a person's record from the American Academy in Rome's listing of any of the distinctive Fellows who had been awarded the distinguished Prix De Rome from its illustrious inception in 1896 through 2014. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fellows_of_the_American_Academy_in_Rome_1896–1970 [3]
Please do this as soon as your schedule will allow.
Thanks for teaching us so much about your world.Mozza&pomo (talk) 21:55, 25 August 2014 (UTC) S & R
Sorry to tell you this Nawliniki, but whatever you did the listing of Ronald L. Dirsmith, FAAR 1960 has been ... DELETED ... from the American Academy in Rome listing of distinguished Fellows of The American Academy in Rome Wikipedia site.
Check the results of your actions, most probably unintentional and not what you wanted to do. The electronics within the Wikimedia System did this to be sure.
You may check the results of your actions at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Fellows_of_the_American_Academy_in_Rome_1896–1970 [4] Click on any of the other Fellows' names and you will see what comes. On Ronald L. Dirsmith, the Wikipedia system deletion caused this notice which does not appear on any other site.

PLEASE ask any of your IT Guru colleagues to help you review my plea to simply restore Ronald L. Dirsmith on the List of Fellows at the American Academy in Rome distinguished Prix De Rome from its illustrious inception in 1896 through 2014. That is simply a fair and honest request. You may delete anything else that we might have written or posted that you feel is inappropriate. We are sorry to have caused you so much concern but were only trying to help the Chicago Film Archives, CFA, in their work [6] as written to you before. We have carefully read all of your recommendations on copyright and now understand, more clearly, and agree with fully, the importance of copyright procedures on Wikipedia.

- I have explained this twice on your user talk page. I'll explain once more, and will not answer any more repetitive requests. Mr. Dirsmith's name is still on the List of Fellows page. But it's a redlink. Read WP:REDLINK for an explanation. If and when someone writes an original article on Mr. Dirsmith, the redlink will turn blue and be a link to his page. Until then, clicking the Dirsmith redlink on the List of Fellows page will result in the message you quoted. That is how the system is supposed to work. It's not an error.

Recreating Speedily Deleted Page
[edit]Hello. I would like to request a second chance and recreate my page that was speedily deleted. I apologize, this was my first attempt at creating an article and I accidentally published too quickly without editing the content to my and Wikipedia's standards for an encyclopedic entry. The page was therefore appropriately flagged and deleted before I could correct. I understand that my original page as posted was promotional in tone. I will definitely be sure that there are no promotional phrases or terms in this article's second iteration as that is not my intention. Will I have any issues if I try to create the page again later today or tomorrow? Thank you for your time. Kevjmcauley (talk) 21:01, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
- As well as writing the article in a neutral, nonpromotional fashion (see WP:NPOV), you will need to cite reliable independent sources (see WP:V) that show that this musical is notable per WP:N. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:08, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
why the speedy deletion tagline ?? RETRO Networks
[edit]I still find it hard to believe the things you the administrators do. I mean like seriously man an article was created and just not even 10sec's a tag for speedy deletion has been placed, that's just not right. On what grounds are you placing a newly created article for deletion? why not just let the article at least spend sometime up here for some weeks so other people knowing about the subject can also register and add more references and thereby expanding the article until it's fully documented. It's just so obscure the way the tag was raised. Please do remove the speedy deletion tag and allow that article some time to be edited and expanded at least some days or a week. Pardon me but i seriously don't know if most popular companies pay some people up here to act as administrators thereby deleting competitors posting about there organization, because for you to place an article about a company with references as speedy deletion and unambiguous advertisement then after reviewing WIKIPEDIA'S policy for company and organizational article i seriously feel no company should be posted on Wikipedia cause they aren't encyclopedic at all and place no historic nature worth knowing about in the next 100years. There are a lot of companies been placed on Wikipedia without deletion tags and don't even have enough references like the one i created, why aren't they deleted ? or are the companies paying up to stay on Wikipedia through there employee's or are wiki admin's now biased ?
You need prove, just look up this pages and see for yourself ;
I. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amkor_Technology (This one has only for references but still up and running) II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodward,_Inc. (Same here just 4 ) III. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wausau_Paper (This one doesn't even have any reference at all but is still up ) IV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agilent_Technologies V. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChexSystems VI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chem-Dry
I mean i can keep on naming and naming so many of them without even enough references but they are still up, please with due gratitude remove the speedy deletion tag so that the article can be improved with time. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moetmoney (talk • contribs) 13:04, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- The article was deleted not because of the company's importance, but because it was written as an advertisement: "With it's charming slogan been "Secure IT Solutions for a more secure environment" it has expanded and resulted in the security and stability of many client companies"; "Retro Networks & Technology provides expert IT support that takes the focus off technology problems and puts it back on what really matters in your business.". See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Also, look at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:30, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Which ever way you seem to see this it's just your own way of prioritizing advertisement. Now am fully sure your biased and i wouldn't be surprised if you take offense with this because that's the truth and it hurts. How da hell are we supposed to expalin what a company offers if we don't tell the readers exactly what they do lol, "It has expanded and resulted in the security and stability of many client companies"; "Retro Networks & Technology provides expert IT support that takes the focus off technology problems and puts it back on what really matters in your business" you call this advertisement? OK so if i go to PayPal's Wikipedia page i won't see any glorifying notes or phrase about how they have helped business remit funds and all ? Cheap biased mind man. I have read Wikipedia's policy and article guidelines throughout and i practically know what am saying, this is exactly the same reason i don't like writing Wikipedia articles cause i don't have time in arguing what is right and well known but someone out their tends to turn it down.
If those quotes and phrases are the problems to the article, fine i have removed them and will post again, i hope i don't see a speedy deletion again cause i have done exactly what you said.If i get to see a speedy deletion tag do i hold you accountable for your words? Well lets see but check again i have removed all you pointed out and made it clean. Thanks

You deleted this article as a blatant hoax. Actually not. See [3]. A&E is apparently resurrecting episodes of a program originally broadcast on the Outdoor Network before the family hit the big time with their Duck Dynasty series. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:36, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Oh my. The link in the article was dead, but yours obviously works. In any case, the article was a cut and paste of an A&E promo, so I will change the warning. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 21:37, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah, the editor mystyped the link. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:39, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
You deleted the page for Lil Herb I made. Lil Herb is one of the hottest guys in rap right now and his mixtape Welcome to fazoland has over 235k downloads on datpiff alone. He has collaborated with major rap players like Nicki Minaj, Common, and Lil Bibby as well as being considered one of the founders and spearheads of the Drill movement within hip hop. Lil bibby is similar in fame to Herb and he has a page yet Herb doesn't and I've seen many people on hip hop forums ask why so I tried to make one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barrk (talk • contribs) 21:43, 27 August 2014 (UTC) Barrk (talk) 22:03, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Pushing On
[edit]There is no need to delete that page. A lot of songs which are not released yet have articles. This song is out on Sunday which means it will chart the following Sunday. There was even a link on the page to purchase the song proving the song does exist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.215.163 (talk) 15:55, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- When there are reliable sources discussing the song, that would be the time to post an article about it. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
The song will be worthy of an article once it's charted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.155.215.163 (talk) 17:50, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
What? Why?
[edit]The deletion off Nexar Group and Aim2Fame for the reasons given are so wrong. Why dont you even check the sources? InHa (talk) 16:04, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- Because the sources were the company's own web pages. See WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:06, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
See source here: https://foretagsfakta.bolagsverket.se/fpl-dft-ext-web/grundInformation.seam?cid=82449 That should also confirm the Aim2Fame page you deleted as well InHa (talk) 16:09, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
- It's not enough to cite a source that shows the company exists or is chartered. You need to cite sources showing that the company meets our notability guidelines, WP:CORP. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:11, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

"Brian T. Thompson" vandal
[edit]Hello. At the same time as you blocked the vandal I made a check through whois and found that it is a school IP (Prince George's County Public Schools, Landover, Maryland), so perhaps you might want to give them a bit more than 31h? Because both me and the others who are kept busy removing "Brian T. Thompson" from various articles are tired of it (in case you didn't see the report at AIV it's a serial vandal who has been adding what's probabaly his own name as CEO, designer etc on a large number of articles for a long time).
