User talk:Some Gadget Geek/2016/August

HP

Hello there. I disagree with the mispricing not being notable enough for mention in the article. Indeed, the BBC IS a reliable source, independent of HP. This is just as notable as many others thing in that article, and if we took out everything that was a mere footnote compared to the bigger picture (such as HP being a sponsor of Tottenham football team) we could probably reduce that article (as well as the entire content of Wikipedia) by more than half!

@CliffordJones: FYI, I would not use a user talk page like this one to resolve disputes to article content. That goes on the talk page of the article in question, which I believe is Talk:Hewlett-Packard. Feel free to post your inquiry there.

With respect, I have been told by many users to actually use talk pages to do this, in order to prevent so called unneeded to and fro on articles talk pages, but hey ho, I guess such conflicting advice always happens when there are too many chefs in the kitchen! All the best! CliffordJones (talk) 03:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Redirects

I declined your CSD nomination for Wikipedia:Redirects. This one surely isn't "uncontroversial". (While I'm personally not opposed to the move) I honestly think this deserves a WP:RM (i.e. {{subst:Requested move}}) (or even RfC) procedure to gauge consensus. I also think a move of this page deserves mentions at Wikipedia talk:Redirects for discussion and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect for example. I don't think you can just tag it for move when it's been a very established guideline page of the English Wikipedia. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 00:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
