Recent speedy deletion

Hi! Just noticed you had deleted the page for Ladyfinger (band). I'm assuming this is because it was under an incorrect title, possibly should have been Ladyfinger (NE); not sure exactly. If you could explain, I'd appreciate it.

Apologies if I'm not following etiquette precisely here; I'm a relative newbie at all this. Packcigs 09:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ladyfinger (band) was a redirect to Ladyfinger (ne), which was a page that didn't exist when I deleted the Ladyfinger (band). Redirects to non-existent pages can be deleted per WP:CSD. enochlau (talk) 09:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They were originally called Ladyfinger until recent legal issues forced them to change their name to Ladyfinger (ne). I understand now that the page content should be located at Ladyfinger (ne). Is there any way to find the original page to save time and direct it to the correct location? Packcigs 07:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article Ladyfinger (ne) was deleted for being a non-notable band as per WP:CSD: see Special:Undelete/Ladyfinger_(ne). Hence, if I recover the original text and you repost it, it will be speedily deleted again. Bands below a certain threshold of notability do not have Wikipedia articles. If you disagree with this assessment and you wish to contest the deletion, you should now go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 08:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the possible lack of recognition, a.k.a. non-notable, but the band is signed to Saddle Creek Records, home of such artists as Bright Eyes, The Faint, Cursive, (formerly) Rilo Kiley, etc. If there are references needed to prove this, refer to http://www.timmcmahan.com/2006/04/live-review-family-radio-ladyfinger.html or http://www.rwsmagazine.com/features/index.php?paged=2. I realize I'm pushing this, but this is most defnitely a valid band that deserves an entry. Thanks so much for your help and attention. Packcigs 10:37, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm really sorry, but it's not me you need to convince. The administrator who actually deleted Ladyfinger (ne) is User:Quarl, so please post on his talk page if you want him to reconsider his decision. As I mentioned before, I merely deleted the redirect to the deleted page. Otherwise, you should go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 13:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help on this. I appreciate your patience. Packcigs 20:00, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hey dude

I made an article about myself so like I could add to it when I get to college and stuff so why did you delete it?

Wikipedia is not the place for adding info about yourself. It is an encyclopedia. Pages like the ones you've written can be speedily deleted as per WP:CSD. If you want a web site about yourself, consider places such as Geocities. enochlau (talk) 10:35, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

why did you delete my informative article? it is very rude and irriponsible. I demand it being reenstated. --Hammersmith123 10:38, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Which article are you talking about? Have you read WP:CSD? enochlau (talk) 10:39, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding your own personal analyses and claims to this article. David.Monniaux 14:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An invitation to view my new Userpage

Dear User:Enochlau, after spending some time pondering how to create my Userpage, I am pleased to announce the creation of my Userpage. I would very much like to invite you to have a look and comment about it. Any suggestions and improvements are welcome. An auspicious occation indeed. Nic tan33 15:55, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the complements man. Well, as you can see, my Userpage is still under construction. Also, finding more Userboxes can be a serious pain, but I will persevere. Ah yes, my 21st Birthday (It's the 29th), a Happy Day indeed... Keep the comments coming! XD Nic tan33 01:29, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you change the {{db-copyvio}} tag on Hall Institute of Public Policy - New Jersey? The old 48-hour rule no longer holds: blatant copyvios with nothing clean to revert to are subject to immediate nuking. --Calton | Talk 05:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

revert of contract

Hi Enoch, thanks for (agreeing w/me, and) reverting contract. I'm a bit swamped today, but I am planning on an analysis of User:Wikidea's changes by the weekend. I do think a discussion of a cleanup/reorg of the article has merit. --Bhuston 18:07, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought you might want to know about this it has the same goals as Wikipedia:WikiProject Photography, but is better organized. --Gphototalk 18:29, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

are "I'm entitled to my opinion"s days numbered?

Hi Enoch, I am a bit worried that the article I'm entitled to my opinion will be deleted in whole or in part, perhaps on the basis of the opinions expressed in comments on the talk page. I thought you might be able to tell me whether I am being paranoid or whether it is just asking/waiting for deletion? Thanks. Grumpyyoungman01 02:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your advice Enoch, I think it is good to have an opinion from someone who isn't an expert. I'm not an expert either, just a uni student, we covered this fallacy in a first year informal logic subject taught by Tim van Gelder. Grumpyyoungman01 21:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to give Grumpyyoungman01 a couple of days to modify this image, or at least to commit to it, as it clearly advances a contentious POV. If he does not respond, I will {{IFD}} it. --Bhuston 00:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Graphing Program

I noticed that you created some of the images of graphs in a few wikipedia articles like the one of a Quintic equation. What program, if any, do you use to create this and how could I acquire it? Thanks. --Madmexican 16:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

contract

Hello Enoch, I noticed that you went to Fort Street - but surely the stuff on the contract page deserves better than Mr Millward's legal studies class?! (although maybe he wasn't still there by your time. I couldn't spot what year you were in in the Fortian (mistitled Fortain in 1999)) It'd be good, esp. if you're doing your law degree, to see some more references from you, because I'm sure you have a lot of knowledge to bring. I was going to go to the Phillip st. library today as it happened. Maybe I'd bump into you, unless you're at home reverting all the hard work I've done! User:Wikidea

(replying to my talk page) Well, what do you think? I'm happy to if you want. My number's +6142903072. As I said, hopefully I'm going to come into your library today. The thing is, there's no perfect way to structure a page; but some structure is better than none, and all I was really doing is taking stuff out of one of the better books! Which do you get in first year? (I can't remember how the Usyd course works exactly, the friends that I had on it all finished a while ago!) We got ones by Ewan McKendrick, Patrick Atiyah and Jill Poole - but I imagine a lot of it is the same (well, up to 1986 I think). It's slightly annoying though when there's no reason for reverting a change, except that it's a change; and that there's no references. But maybe I'm too bookish.

Dear User:Enochlau, while I do want this matter settled, it would appear that with User:Certified.Gangsta around, the matter would not be resolved anytime soon... Other that that, I am not sure as yet just what to do regarding this issue. Nic tan33 12:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

While I do see that the article has survived an AFD, it was created by a banned problem user (Cute 1 4 u) under a sockpuppet account created during her ban. I can see that these two issues conflict each other, but which is given more weight in the long run?—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 02:29, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
