Back in business - a bit. Undeletions   It is now some time since 2020 Jan when I was "de-sysopped" and I am doing very little editing. I am now getting email notification of messages left and will probably respond. However since I am no longer an admin - I can no longer see the content of deleted articles and will usually be uninterested in helping you with such. For a copy of a deleted article, contact one of these admins or if you really think undeletion is justifiable, go to Requests for undeletion. RHaworth (talk · contribs) 2022 Feb 22

Hello, I am currently working on listing Exchange Data International as a Financial Data Vendor on Wikipedia. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Financial_data_vendors) I noticed you deleted the previous article. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to share some insights as to why the previous page was not good enough and the things to look out for creating a new article. Your input would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Sharon Otieno Cheksharon (talk) 14:25, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I have never touched Exchange Data International. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jaan Nissar Lone is the biggest Kashmiri Music Director and Producer and as the ambassador of culture I believe He deserves a Wikipedia page and only someone with ill will and vested interests would have requested a page deletion.

Can you please tell me why it was deleted? Hazytalks (talk) 02:32, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Hazytalks, if you cannot be bothered to provide a link, why should I bother to investigate? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:01, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hello Sir, I can't find any link in there but as the page name is protected and only administrators can alter it. The closest thing I could find about the item is this link:

  https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61405020

  Please tell me if this works Hazytalks (talk) 05:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  RH, forgive me butting in. The page in question is Jaan Nissar Lone, which has been salted because of repeated recreation by sockpuppets and likely by paid editors. Draft:Jaan Nissar Lone is also salted after repeated recreation by blocked/banned users. And now here we have Hazytalks, whose only interest seems to be in creating an article that has a track record of creation by blocked editors who may have been paid to create the article… —C.Fred (talk) 15:51, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Hey Fred, my only interest is to understand why if some bots create a profile and engage in spam behavior and for that reason editors and admins block the page for a while, but if the entity in question is legitimate and deserves a page, how can that be distinguished and there should be a way to either discuss that or approach someone for that. There appears to be someone named Farooq Wani, that has repeatedly blocked the page creation without any explanation. Hazytalks (talk) 16:06, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @Hazytalks: I'm not sure who Farooq Wani is, but User:Farooqahmadbhat is the banned user whose actions led to protection of all the related pages. —C.Fred (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes Farooq Ahmad Bhat. So a banned user was responsible for something that affects other people. Who are legitimate people with legitimate aspirations. Thank you Fred for your help, are you an administrator? Hazytalks (talk) 16:38, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Hazytalks, stop moaning! Your contributions history suggests that you are just as much a single-purpose account as those who have tried to write about this guy in thepast. You received some good advice here though, admittedly, BD2412 did not notice that the draft title is also protected. I see that we have eight articles that mention his name so he may now meet our notability criteria. I suggest you look through the edit history of these articles to identify an editor who seem s to be well into this area. Contact that editor and submit a draft to them via their talk page. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:07, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you for the suggestion. This makes sense. It's hard to navigate the platform at least initially. I understand I don't have much of a history but I am committed to making positive changes.

  Because you are an administrator and you might have better privileges, I am unable to see the thread any more. Can you please help me with identifying the editor or suggest one.

  Thank you RH Hazytalks (talk) 13:13, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• "Unable to see the thread" - what thread do you mean? I am no longer an administrator but the suggestion I made does not need admin rights - so you do the research:

• find the eight articles that refer to Jaan
• look at the edit history of each article and identify an editor who seems to have made many contributions
• specifically, you could find which editor has added Jaan’name to each article
• contact that editor.

Best of luck. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:33, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

I will do that. Thank you very much Hazytalks (talk) 16:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you deleted a page Acetylated wood in 2016 due to advertising. I have no idea what was on that page and had nothing to do with it.

The section in English on acetylated wood has much less information than the German acetylated wood Wiki page: Wood preservation#Wood acetylation.

I propose to translate the German Wiki page on Acetylated Wood to English. I have nothing to do with this industry, I just occasionally translate pages from German to English when I see there is no English page or the English page is lacking, compared to the German.

I don't think there is any significant advertising in the German article, but due to your previous deletion, before I spend significant time on this, would you mind checking this machine translation.

Note that the machine translation appears to be missing the latest edit, which includes references to other manufacturers of acetylated wood under the Market section. The latest version under Market when translated to English reads:

There used to be only one manufacturer of acetylated wood under the brand name Accoya. Accsys Technologies (formerly Titan Wood), based in London and previously with a production facility in Arnhem in the Netherlands, began manufacturing the Monterey pine product on a larger scale in 2007 after much research.[3]

Since at least 2012 there have been several manufacturers of acetylated wood such as Eastman Chemical and Accsys[4]

Lkingscott (talk) 11:45, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Lkingscott, I am no longer an admin so I cannot see the content but, as you say, the deletion reason was advertising and the article in de: is patently not advertising. So my recommendation is: go for it! The page is not protected so go ahead and publish your translation. If you have reliable sources you could also add why the material has not become more popular and how it compares in price with steel or concrete. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:01, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I am wanting to resurrect an article that was AfD by you 9 July 2014 or a least take a look at the reasoning. The company is one of the more significant animation firms in New Zealand and while not large by global standards is within a New Zealand context having made a number of successful children's programmes over the past 20 years. Just for clarity I am not in any way related to the company or related fields. Also a move into Draft would probably be best at this stage. NealeWellington (talk) 09:08, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RHaworth:--I saw a request under the Psychology topics (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_sciences/Psychology) for a page on Brainspotting. I wrote up a draft article, but I saw that you protected the article from creation in 2018 due to recurrent attempts to make the article and recurrent deletions. It seems like past attempts to make the article were not well-sourced and kind of promoting Brainspotting. My draft is better-researched. I think that even though there's basically no evidence that Brainspotting works, the fact that it is so trendy in certain mental health circles warrants a re-creation of this page. I'm a psychologist who is concerned about the amount of inaccurate information out there about certain treatments, including Brainspotting, and I want the public to have a page to read about it from a source that isn't trying to sell them something.

I'm relatively new at this, so if you are the wrong person to ask about this, let me know who I should talk to. Thank you! PenguinyPenguiny (talk) 15:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree that it would be useful to have a Wikipedia article saying that there is no evidence. Draft:Brainspotting is not protected so go ahead and create. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 08:39, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  @RHaworth Okay, I just created it on the Draft page! PenguinyPenguiny (talk) 16:02, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• PenguinyPenguiny, no-one will call your article promotional. I have added ((subst:submit)) to the top of the article. If it is accepted, the unprotection of Brainspotting will be uncontroversial. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:00, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Nice to see you're still around from time to time RHaworth. I'm inclined to accept this draft, but I've posted at WP:FTN in case any of the regulars over there have any concerns. Cheers Girth Summit _(blether) 11:25, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on IHRIM requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

• disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
• disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
• is an orphaned redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that does not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello, RHaworth. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Jonathan Doscher, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 23:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I was interested in creating a page of "2014 Bangladesh blackout" but I saw a notice that you deleted this page due to Unambiguous copyright infringement.

Hello, RHaworth. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Jonathan Doscher".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:02, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Realcontents22, firstly decide whether you wish to be Realcontents22 or RealContent22 and put notices on the user page and user talk page of the other account to say that you are not using it. You say you are not a professional editor. If this is actually true, good. Professional editing here is deprecated, not to say despised.

I am no longer an admin so I cannot see what you wrote but the deletion notice for Draft:Anurag Sinha suggests that you have very little idea what a Wikipedia article should look like. You must study the content and style of the multitude of Hindi actors for which we already have pages. See also the comments I made above regarding Jaan Nissar Lone.

If you are not prepared to do that, all I can suggest is go to Requested articles. Further correspondence to be on this page. Emails will be ignored. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:19, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Brainspotting, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi RHaworth,

I'm interested in writing an article about the German 80s punk band EA80. I see that there was a previous article with this name, which was deleted in 2016, and the message points me to you. Would you be willing to look at my article draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:EA80) and offer advice (i.e. in your opinion, is this draft above the bar for deletion that tripped up the previous article, and is there anything you could suggest to improve it)?

Cheers- Snowflakedivertor (talk) 01:49, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Snowflakedivertor, I am no longer an admin so I cannot see what the previous article looked like but yours so clearly qualifies as a good article that I suggest that you make a request for unprotection. Assuming it is accepted you can move the article yourself. If you feel less confident, then submit the article for review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:12, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
