VoxelBot complaint

Hey, there. The bot that you and Fox Wilson are operating, VoxelBot, left a message for me on May 24 that an article I created, Martin Brody, "has been recently tagged with a notability notice and may be merged, redirected, or deleted." I followed the bot's instructions to find and insert some reliable sources into the article, but even once I did so, my hard work had all vanished and I was given no notifications that it had been deleted aside from the page turning into a redirect. If you could do something, I would be glad. MatthewHoobin (talk) 20:31, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Matthew Hoobin

Hey there Matthew, it looks like VoxelBot was doing its job which is to notify users whose pages were tagged with notability notices. If you want to dispute notability, talk with the redirecting admin, User:Future Perfect at Sunrise. Can't help you otherwise. Vacation9 21:22, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Continuing Saga of Stevie Ryan Page

Hi Vacation9. Last December (2012) you were kind enough to review the Stevie Ryan page and at that point indicated it was ok to remove the Primary Sources tag based on the addition of some References. However, because a claim in the Wikipedia article that Ms. Ryan graduated from Silverado High School was not confirmed by a reference, you indicated that the BLP tag couldn't yet be removed. I have found an article published by the Victorville Daily Press in 2012 that indicates Ryan graduated from Silverado High School in 2002, and I have cited that reference within the Wikipedia page now. Could you confirm that it is now ok to remove the BLP tag from the article? Thank you. EricTN (talk) 20:51, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

It still needs some expansion, but yeah you're good to remove the BLP tag now. Vacation9 11:43, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your help Vacation9 ! EricTN (talk) 05:25, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
