Hi I saw you were the closing admin and deleted the article VCW Championship. In the AfD I nominated to other article, both VCW titles that are still open. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case you missed them, or if I didn't set up the AfD correctly. Thanks! Wildthing61476 (talk) 02:09, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Steve, I see you guys went ahead and deleted the PHDL article. Mostly it violated the notability standard. I understand from my open source buddies that they often get deleted for that reason until their project gets wider appeal. I have been told that deleted articles are not really deleted but rather moved to a location that is not visible. I would like to move that deleted PHDL article into my private area so I can improve it until notability increases to satisfy WP. Can you tell me how to preserve a private copy of the deleted PHDL article? I have a lot of real life activities so I don't want to start over on PHDL when the time comes. Thanks.

I have made wide left, the title of an AfD you just closed, into a redirect. Would it be possible if you could restore the article's edit history behind that redirect? Hellno2 (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Predictably, this close has already begun to waste huge amounts of editorial time -- see Talk:Mitt Romney#Seamus (dog) merge -- and we are nowhere near done. I don't know if you were simply assuming that "Merge" would be an incantation that would make all the disagreements go away, but it hasn't happened.
Given the extent of the discussion, the close division among editors, and your decision to merge disputed content into one of the most frequently viewed articles on Wikipedia, I respectfully suggest that it would have been useful for you to provide some explanation. (The DRV page says that I should try to resolve the issue in discussion with you, but I don't know where to begin the discussion because I have no clue as to your reasoning.) I further suggest that, in light of developments in just the few short hours since you acted, you might reconsider your decision. JamesMLane t c 05:19, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm looking to make the wikipedia for Beats Per Minute (http://beatsperminute.com). Their old wiki is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thirty_BPM but they've seen rebranded to Beats Per Minute. Although the old page is poorly written I think it can be fixed on this new page. Additionally I do think it meets the notability requirements.
They are a self-published site with a significant readership. They are featured and have their content syndicated on CBS's Metacritic (http://www.metacritic.com/publication/beats-per-minute-formerly-one-thirty-bpm), as well as through Complex.com [Criteria 3]. Have been cited by sites such as Forbes for investigative work (http://www.forbes.com/sites/leorgalil/2012/01/25/hip-hop-group-after-the-smoke-battle-with-youtube-and-umg-over-intellectual-property/) [Criteria 1 if I'm not mistaken].
Please let me know what you think. As a long time reader I think this site is on par with other music publications who have articles such as Consequence of Sound (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consequence_of_Sound) and Tiny Mix Tapes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Mix_Tapes). I also believe I can create a page with proper 3rd party citations.

Dear Phantomsteve,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 07:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

The AfD for 'Wee Shu Min' is not a consensus to delete. It is a consensus to redirect. Do restore this article so that it can be redirected according to the direction of the consensus. Thank you. Back-a-boot (talk) 05:25, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
