A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Monsters in the Morning is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Monsters in the Morning (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Levdr1lp / talk 12:45, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Did you look for sources prior to nominating Mobolaji Akiode for deletion? I am having a hard time believing that you did, otherwise you would have seen this story from ESPN, this story from a year ago or this other story about her time at ESPN. She was an Olympic athlete and has represented her country at the Commonwealth Games. What does not being 'known' in western countries have to do with anything? You should do some research into Wikipedia's systematic bias against non-western white men and topics and think a bit more before you make such a biased nomination next time.--TM 00:08, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
Laughter Yoga as relating to Yoga imho is not a wise move.
Just because of the way people have not cleaned it up does not necessarily mean that the subject in actual real life is absorbable into Yoga.
If you had rather than put your explanation in an edit summary and gone to the talk page, well then it might have been a bit more interesting point to work from.
Please allow me some time to prune the article, to at least remove the advertigsing aspect - if you really want to have fun at this sort of stuff - try Rajneesh - and the talk page there, and you will surely find parts there you might wish to reduce as well.
I do hope that a pruned article might be closer to what is needed. cheers satusuro 13:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Having a closer look at the article, and understanding where your criticism and the subject comes from and what is entailed, simply redirecting to yoga styles - if it had been discussed at the talk page, well then, that is another way of dealing with the issue, but simply summarising and deleting, well sorry I think something need to be pondered a little lomnger than that. satusuro 13:49, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
hilarious email response!
Dell UK doesn't use lync? (Or maybe its not working hours there). Gaijin42 (talk) 18:28, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I wanted to thank you, Amalthea, and Callanecc for your help on the Fairyspit sockpuppet investigation. It's incredibly frustrating when a user won't stop and makes 12+ different accounts but it's nice to know I'm not the only one who knows he's doing it anymore. :) Happy editing.

Well thank you! I do enjoy a game of whack-a-mole every now and then :-) Guy (Help!) 15:37, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
Since you seem to be the go-to-guy about whitewashing lately, could I have your input here (if you have time)? Thanks. BlueSalix (talk) 04:06, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I saw you are interested in accreditation and diploma mills. I was hoping you could provide input at the Cathy McMorris Rodgers page. Rodgers attended Pensacola Christian College in 1990, which was unaccredited until a few months ago (when TRACS approved it). There is plentiful sourcing, such as The Chronicle of Higher Education, about its unaccredited nature. I think when the article says she has a degree and gives the name of the school it should mention the school was unaccredited.
Given accreditation is so important to a school, it would be like saying a business someone worked for was never licensed or insured. Without mentioning the lack of accreditation, people will be misled and assume the institution is a normal, accredited school when it is not. RobinBnn (talk) 14:55, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
Yesterday the article was added with a reference by the Washington Post that McMorris attended an unaccredited school. Now an editor's response is that it's inclusion is a "smear attempt" and now his goal is to stop readers from thinking "Rodgers received a substandard education" (Exchange at Talk:Cathy_McMorris_Rodgers#Education_Paragraph.)
Her residence, Washington state, makes it illegal to use a "fake of misleading" degree punishable by five years in prison, and specifically means accreditation (see the law here). I'm getting frustrated dealing with an editor who sees conspiracy and its trying to inject his POV on her quality of education. Any recommendations on what to do?

Hi, I am intrigued by your deletion of the article on Lyndsey Turner. It was fully referenced by strong, reliable sources. I am not contesting, just enquiring after this unusual move after an OTRS request. Thanks Span (talk) 22:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Thank you both for the heads-up. I am not averse to a new article (the subject is just about encyclopaedic) but the "brand new user" is almost certainly an individual known to the subject and police. Guy (Help!) 10:02, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi I know this is semi-old news as the article has been deleted and whatnot but what "real world harassment of the subject" and Guy asking Ms. Turner about the issue? What is this about? (if you don't mind me asking) LADY LOTUS • TALK 20:02, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Yea I'd definitely agree with that statement lol LADY LOTUS • TALK 23:42, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
