Emirates Residence

Well the article was small.. but that is how all the articles begin "small".. please give it time to grow. it was just deleted with 4 days of creation. That is not fair. Shujaat.tariq 11:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While we do accept short articles, there are general limits on how short and uninformative something can be. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. As "Emirates Residence is a website based in Dubai." was the only non-infobox content in the article, the article certainly did not meet either the web notability guideline (which when not met qualifies the article for speedy deletion under criterion A7), and I think that it is fair that the page gave little or no context, (which qualifies it for speedy deletion under criterion A1), and the person who tagged the page for deletion noted that the page might be considered an advertisement (blatant advertisements are speedy-deletable under criterion G11, though I did not specifically apply this here) due to your adding links to your site (like you did here). Given that these criteria seem valid, and that I noted this in the deletion summary, I think that the deletion was entirely fair. You might find Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:Business FAQ both interesting, I recommend you read them first if you plan to post again on Wikipedia.

Deletion of a image that was not copywright protected.

In reference to :

19:51, 29 July 2007 Nihiltres (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:Danachoiphoto.jpg" (CSD G12: Blatant copyright infringement)

I would like to contest the deletion of this image on the basis on 'Blatant copywright infringement.'

A lot of effort went into getting the full permission of the owner of this image so that it could be used on the wikipedia site as was indicated on the description provided with the image. The file is not copywrighted as it was never created for commercial purpose and we have obtained the full permission of the owner for this to be distributed freely so that people can identify the TV personality that it corresponds with. Can you please explain why it was deleted and if there is anything else that is required to prevent further deletion requests, then can you please advise me on what is necessary. Thankyou.

Since I can't find information about the copyright ascribed to the photos from that site, I must assume that they are copyrighted to (i.e. owned by) the photographer who took the shots, the model, a client, or the website. I don't know that you are a representative of the website or of someone who owns the relevant rights. In the case where it is unclear, it's usually a better idea to delete the image than to leave a potential copyright problem - the lack of a (virtual) paper trail is the problem here. You might want to see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials, it explains the process you want in detail. Nihiltres^(t.l) 20:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Hi, Nihiltres, and thanks for your participation in my RfA. I've withdrawn it, and will be writing up an "analysis" of it, which will soon be available at User:Giggy/RfA/Giggy when it's done. Please come around when you get the chance, and give me feedback on how I can improve. Thanks again, Giggy _U^CP 04:14, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know, and I think that your analysis, which is available now, is a good one and shows that you can learn from the opposition you garnered. Good luck, I will support you next time too ;) Nihiltres^(t.l) 00:18, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Penola Catholic College

why was this deleted? the given reason was blatant advertising... which certainly was not the intention... why wasnt there a tag to revise the language prior to deletion? could you please re-instate the page and i will edit the text so it is more encyclopaedic. WikiGremlin 11:16, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There was a tag given at the time, although since it was speedily deleted, you probably didn't see it before it was deleted. If you want to repost the page, I won't stop you, but I'm unconvinced of the value of what was there. Nihiltres^(t.l) 00:33, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete Centric Group, LLC?

Can you provide some basis for your deletion of the wikipedia entry for Centric Group, LLC? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.255.33.190 (talk • contribs) 18:35, August 3, 2007 (UTC)

Yes. The page was tagged with {{db-corp}}, a template that indicates that someone believes that the article (about a company or corporation) does not meet our notability guideline. Since the company's notability was not asserted, the article qualified for speedy deletion under criterion A7. I noted that the company's notability was not asserted, and deleted the article. If you can assert notability using reliable, third-party sources, and show that the company meets our notability guideline specific for companies and corporations, you are welcome to recreate the article.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 2

Thank you for taking the time to participate at the discussion in my Request for Adminship. Unfortunately the nomination did not succeed, but please rest assured that I am still in full support of the Wikipedia project. I listened carefully to all concerns, and will do my best to incorporate all of the constructive advice that I received, into my future actions on Wikipedia. If you can think of any other ways that I can further improve, please let me know. Best wishes, El on ka 05:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was certainly on the fence on this one, for all that I didn't vote. Good luck next time. Nihiltres^(t.l) 01:43, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Poultry fat

Just curious as to why poultry fat was deleted. It is a real ingredient used in pet food manufacturing. Noles1984 16:41, 6 August 2007 (UTC) Oh, I could give it a better rewrite to satisfy any problems you had with it. Thanks. Noles1984 16:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it because it appeared to be or contain text copied verbatim from another web site as indicated in the speedy deletion tag, and had very little page history (indicating that there was not a version which was not a copyright violation). The text on that site is labeled as "© Sabine Contreras", which means that it can't be legally copied verbatim. I hesitated on this deletion because it is a valid subject, but the reason was valid, so it had to go. Sorry, Nihiltres^(t.l) 01:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Datatel entry?

My team and I posted a company profile on Datatel yesterday, but I saw that it was deleted for "blatent advertising". We worked very hard to remove sales or marketing lingo. Can you please provide an explanation for the deletion? This was one of the major projects of our summer intern and I would hate to see his work not be posted. Thanks.

With phrases like "[...] helps higher education institutions be more effective by providing the finest IT solutions that in turn offer the best user experiences [...]" and "Datatel’s expertise is derived from [...]", the article was still highly promotional of Datatel. Further, the work doesn't seem to comply with our conflict of interest guideline. Nihiltres^(t.l) 14:39, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bele Chere

I posted a hangon tag on the PROD tagged Bele Chere <30 min before you deleted this article. Did you read the edit summary or talk page before deleting this? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, that's fair, I restored it for you. I still think it's blatant advertising (CSD G11) though, so I'll speedy it if you don't improve it within a reasonable amount of time. Sound reasonable? Nihiltres^(t.l) 16:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC) (cross-posted)[reply]

cross-posting follows

Thank you for restoring the article. This (permalink) is the version after my revisions. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:35, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By way of explanation - I realize that the typical path for stalling a PROD is to remove the PROD template and the typical path for a speedy delete is a holdon-template. I added a holdon to the PROD, and should have explained this, because I felt there was the possibility that the article could be preserved in some fashion, but I did not know at that time what form the final product after some minor work would be. If I had not found sufficient material to support retention in some form, I would have deleted the thing myself thereafter. I am a bit surprised at the form it is in now, half of it devoted to the impact of the festival on business in Asheville and the why behind the impact. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, nice cleanup job. Sorry for being a pain earlier, my misunderstanding must have been dreadful for you. Nihiltres^(t.l) 22:09, 11 August 2007 (UTC) (cross-posted)[reply]

Dreadful? No, not nearly so. Don't hesitate to delete when you encounter something you think should be - or to contest deletion if the tables are reversed. This was a simple case where my coming very late the article and not providing ample explanation combined with your looking one way and not both when crossing the street ... which everyone does a lot of the time. No problems - I'm just glad that my gut feeling was right in the end. There'd be plenty of egg on my face if it turned out I couldn't find anything out there to build the article on. Regards, --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 22:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC) (cross-posted)[reply]
