Moving of pages in other people's userspace

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I moved user boxes but I didn't move them to anyone's user page. If anything I removed user pages from the user boxes. CITE WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT hero.--Ron John (talk) 11:02, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nova (eikaiwa)

The deletion/move was because all other such articles are at ... (eikaiwa), Nova is the only standalone. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 11:23, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, now I get what you wanted to do ({{db-move}} or an edit summary might have helped explain more than "needs to be deleted for maintenance reasons"). However, as the article was moved away from the title you'd like for it in 2007, I suggest to use WP:RM and get consensus for this move. Happy editing, Kusma (talk) 11:33, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ANI archiving

I was under the impression I had used edit-summaries that indicated I was archiving. I think I lacked an edit-summary when putting it into a subpage for 2 of the threads - was that what you meant? If you did, I agree - point taken. :) Thank you - Ncmvocalist (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of reference to band Commonalty

Kusma

I recently posted an article on an influential Irish traditional band, Commonalty, which played together in Ireland in the late 1980's. The band was notable for the influence that it had on traditional musicians right throughout Ireland, references being made continuously to the band and the recording that it made. The article was short and factually correct, as I was in the band myself. While a small footnote to the development of traditional music in Ireland, I do not think it merits deletion.

Milorat (talk) 19:49, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately your article didn't state anything that made the band appear to meet our inclusion criteria for bands. If you can provide reliable sources that show that the band had an important influence on other musicians, there may be a place for an article in Wikipedia. But the mere existence of the band is not a reason to include it (else we'd be overflowing in articles about random bands). Kusma (talk) 09:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congrats

For bringing a light-hearted spirit to a TfD. Cheers! Eustress (talk) 19:56, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


I thought your visual posting of the different medals on the nobel TfD was hilarious, as well as concrete and persuasive.

Glad you enjoyed it! Kusma (talk) 05:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I notice several editors calling for deletion of this article and thus closing it as a speed keep is improper per Wikipedia:Speedy keep. This is a notification that it will be listed at DRV.--Crossmr (talk) 16:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess process is on vacation today. I go to sleep and wake up to find DRV closed even though another editor is calling for it to be reopened. In regards to your comment about the text being removed, the edit summary (and I have to assume good faith) of the person removing it seems to indicate the text was added without consensus to cover a situation that is already covered in the rules, which is probably about disruption and is negated again by the fact that several editors were calling for deletion.--Crossmr (talk) 01:14, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think the correct process would be to remove the link on the Main Page first, then debate a deletion. Personally I think we should link to Wikinews' coverage of the Olympics and not try to have current articles of our own, but then I feel stronger about WP:NOTNEWS than others. Kusma (talk) 06:29, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I also agree it shouldn't be there, which is why I'm confused as to the removal. I can't find any relevant policy which states an article linked from the main page shouldn't be nominated unless its used for pure disruption, which in this case it wasn't as several editors agreed with the nomination.--Crossmr (talk) 09:11, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Policy is what we do, not what is written down :-) My closure used an understanding of policy that was not in the speedy keep guideline (although it was when I first read it). I don't think it is "disruptive" to nominate articles linked from the Main Page, I just think we shouldn't show our internal disagreements in such a public place. And if people agree that an article shouldn't exist, it should be easy to get sufficient support to remove the article from the Main Page (via the relevant process, in this case, Template talk:In the news). If consensus supports linking to an article from the Main Page, that probably means it shouldn't be deleted at that time. Kusma (talk) 09:22, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
