Northwest Paranormal Research Team (NPRT) Page deleted?

Hi i have jsut dun a page to do with the paranormal and the evidence my team has gathered. But it was deleted. Why has it been taken off, and if it is because you dont think it is important enough... WHy does The Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) not been deleted also!

My team is non-profitable at present, but these guys are seling things on thier site and gettin sponsorships and TV payments... Surely just for discussion I could keep the page online??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jp2uk (talk • contribs) 17:07, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

(Jp2uk (talk) 17:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC))

So the reason for the deletion is purelt because we are not known on TV etc??? Surely just for topical conversation we can have a page about our findings and investigations. Is there no way we can place a page on about our team and findings? Jp2uk (talk) 17:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Jacqui Smith has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Mistake on my part. Apologies, OtisJimmyOne 05:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

No worries, all clear :)

Yehonathan Gatro

Hi,

Thanks for the speedy-deletion notice regarding Yehonathan Gatro. To be honest, I'm not sure what exactly makes a given singer notable, but he has an article on the Hebrew Wikipedia (he:יהונתן גטרו), and from a quick Google, I determined that his music videos have appeared recently on MTV, and that he was the subject of a recent cover story on Instinct, a magazine that (according to our article) has a readership of about 300,000. If that makes him notable, please restore the article; if not, no worries. (I don't know very much about him; I came across this online news article about him yesterday, and everything else I know about him is from a few minutes of Googling.)

Thanks!

P.S. I notice that there are two deletion-log entries, one for non-notability, one for copyright infringement. For the record, what I wrote was not copyright infringement; it was a translation of the start of he:יהונתן גטרו. (Sorry, not being an admin, I can't see whether it's my version that was accused of copyvio, or someone else's.) —Ruakh_TALK 13:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

O.K., sorry for the string of messages. This is hopefully the last one. I've looked at the notability criteria for musicians, and it looks like he does meet them, on the basis of (1) news coverage (see above), and arguably on the basis of (11) heavy rotation on Israel's main music-video channel (assuming his Hebrew Wikipedia article is correct about that — it doesn't list any references). —Ruakh_TALK 14:42, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize that you weren't an admin, either. Thanks again! —Ruakh_TALK 15:08, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Anna von Rossum de la Maza

I noticed that you re-tagged Anna von Rossum de la Maza as a G10. I took another look at the original version of the page and didn't see anything that made me think that it was an attack page. So, my question is, what part of the article did you deem an attack? Thanks, --T'Shael MindMeld 19:49, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Hmm.. okay. Thanks, --T'Shael MindMeld 19:56, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

MochiAds

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from MochiAds, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

You will need to give evidence for this being a product placement, and refute the evidence for notability that I will provide. Wlwwybrn (talk) 03:03, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Kohli Yuga

There is a problem in finding historical stuff on the web, especially if it is in another language and in another script, so the absence of info is not in itself a reason to say it is wrong. You can add the {{fact}} tag. Somehow you will have to find an expert on the topic. You can attempt to discuss it on the talk page of the article, or ask the user who added it there. If you are an expert (or are sure know better) you can remove the invalid stuff yourself. I don't know if I am helping you there! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:21, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Your prod seems OK. 1976 would be historical by web terms. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 05:31, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Offshore Europe

It is not an advert, I am unaffiliated. There's also plenty of context, I think the article clearly explains what it is about in clear terms. I thought it's probably more notable than Wikimania is but didn't have an article on WP before now due to systematic bias against the real world and people with real jobs and working lives who don't have time to edit wikipedia all day.--Trimble9 (talk) 21:07, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me make sure the page is right, Don't delete my page yet, help me before you do that.

Can you help me make sure I am following wikipedia guidelines? —Preceding unsigned comment added by USWGO (talk • contribs) 03:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Congrats!

You've been so helpful with new page patrolling and overall anti-vandalism work that I decided you were more than deserving of rollback privileges. This means a single click of the mouse can roll back multiple vandalism hits. Use it well, O Spiff. And yes, I am an unabashed Calvin and Hobbes fan as well.  :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Googol Hyperplex

Hey, I've removed the "no context" tag from this, as context is fairly obvious in this case. "context" is "do I understand what this article is generally about?". In this case it made it fairly clear - it is a number. If you disagree, feel free to leave me a poke on my talkpage. Thanks, Ironholds (talk) 03:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

That's not the point. You don't tag articles with deletion tags because "well, I feel they should go"; the tag has to fit the article. PROD works just as well, or AfD - the point is that you should tag things with the appropriate tags, not just "anything to get rid of them". Ironholds (talk) 03:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
