Why would you not simply redirect to the event won? A World Series of Poker bracelet is indeed "considered the most coveted non-monetary prize a poker player can win." For many top pros, you can cross out "non-monetary". Consider the quotes in the Prestige section. Those are not overblown exaggerations. P.S. "Side event" is a serious misnomer. These are official, full-fledged WSOP tournaments. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:14, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello, this is my second attempt to get in touch with you regarding KICKER Audio's Wikipedia page. We would like to amend the page to come into Wikipedia guidelines since you have deleted it.
I'll go ahead and copy this to your email again, too.
We've noticed that competitor pages with erroneous claims, such as having invented/patented the square subwoofer, are still up and running and were not subject to deletion, and are even verbatim copies of the one you deleted (eg MTX).
Regards,
KICKER Audio Kickeraudio (talk) 18:46, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
You should read the guidelines that are linked in the deletion discussion. Once you've compiled sources that establish the company's notability, present them at WP:Deletion review to request permission to recreate the topic. Make sure you read through the procedures at that page. postdlf (talk) 19:52, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi.
I was about to make some edits to the APTelecom page, based on the conversations I had with a different moderator (@Agtx). However, I noticed it was deleted. Should I edit it and resubmit or would it possible to restore the original page and I can look to make it less promotional that way? Thank you in advance for your help.

I think you closed this prematurely, The BLP1E issues hadn't been properly explored and the views expressed were split. I think a relist would have allowed a clearer consensus to develop. Would you be willing to reopen this to allow a relist to take place? Spartaz Humbug! 06:57, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Comments? The Transhumanist 04:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
I am surprised and concerned that the article was deleted upon the spurious claims on the deletion talk page that web searches of the group came up with nothing. Here the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium has an article giving it an additional name: http://www.trackingterrorism.org/group/national-warriors
University of Maryland hosted entry: http://www.start.umd.edu/tops/terrorist_organization_profile.asp?id=3647
Here a Daily Telegraph article names the group: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/1414160/Fearful-Boers-flee-to-South-Africas-last-white-enclave.html
South African news article: http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/we-did-it-say-boer-nation-warriors-1.31124#.VbqUnbNViko
Considering that there is a vast range of minor articles on Wikipedia with the parent multiple casualty terror bombings articles usually having a daughter article on those responsible and that a 'pro-Afrikaner' nominator put it up for deletion then deletion after the inconclusive 50/50 vote on the deletion page seems a zealous and ill-intentioned action. Did you have a casting vote? maxrspct ping me 21:43, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello Postdlf – I have some serious reservations about the above article, which I have aired in two separate discussions on the talk page. I notice you seem to be quite active on the WikiProject Lists page, so I wondered if you could take a look and add your opinion, and whether the article could be improved – I note this page has been nominated for deletion once before, but it was decided at the time to keep it. Thanks. Richard3120 (talk) 00:32, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
On behalf of Wikipedia I want to apologize for this,, All that fuss over it being closed early and since it's been relisted it's only gained 1 !vote - You would've thought COMMONSENSE would've prevailed but obviously not!, Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the closing Admin closed it as Redirect or some other nonsensical outcome!, |
Hello, I've no idea who/how, but the redirect done by TokyoGirl on List of Yogi Bear characters from talk:List of Yogi Bear characters means that the article has a redirect as its talk page.Pincrete (talk) 11:46, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Could someone PLEASE delete that re-direct and establish the now-article's talk page? As it now stands the present talk page is the article. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 14:16, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks in advance for whatever you can do. Shearonink (talk) 23:17, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
I have a question about Talk:List of Yogi Bear characters. When I nominated it for AfD, it was a malformed article with possible copyright issues and was not the form/content/article-talkpage it is now. So, does the withdrawn AfD stay with the title (even though the content changed)? I did nominate the errant/looping-redirect (G8) so that error was eliminated. Just trying to learn so I can do better next time. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 22:41, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Hello my name is Kiran Chandani. Please check your inbox I have left you a message and I would like to have a discussion with you so regarding why the page for Starkillers was deleted. Hoping to discuss with you as soon as possible.
I was asked by an admin on undeletion request to contact you directly please see my request below for the starkillers page that was deleted: The article seems to have been deleted based on merely a few comments and questioning of source. There's ample evidence of any info that was on the article. The original editors of the article (who I am unaware of) may have gotten a few spellings wrong. This can be easily fixed. No reason to delete an entire article. Its Starkillers true life journey through music. He has had 12 no. 1 beatport records and has been a producer/dj in the music industry for over 15 years. This article was deleted based on not enough credibility to be on Wikipedia? Please rethink this. Its someone's life and career story. If needed, any piece of info in question on the article can be verified by any individuals mentioned directly in the article or any further info required to ensure the info is 100% true. This is unfair to delete a world Renowned artist's life story based on apparently un-sited 1 or 2 pieces of info. Also I would like to add: I looked through the users who requested deletion of the page. The requests (as time stamped) came about after an online controversy happened between Starkillers and Avicii. This clearly says to me that someone conspired against his page to be deleted. At no other time all these years anyone questioned his wiki page, everything was well sourced and cited and on between Aug 4-6 (the time Starkillers and Avicii disussed occurred) someone went out of their way to have Starkillers page deleted this way? Clearly seems to me that the deletion was conspired. Starkillers has been in the music business for over 15 years. There is evidence of his credibility all over the internet. You may look at his website, beatport, spotify, iTunes, soundcloud, or any other music site for that matter for verifying his creditability. Please let me know if you require any further info. I would greatly appreciate your help with this and hope that you will give justice to this situation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran chandani (talk • contribs) 06:37, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Also, if you deleted the page because the comments on the discussion suggested he was insignificant, please refer to this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_(Nadia_Ali_song) This is one of his biggest hits out of the 12 No. Beatport Records. Not to mention Diskoteka and the numerous other hits that have charted in various countries. So just based on a few comments that were made by some people who may not find Starkillers of interest, probably due to controversy arising on a personal issue between Starkillers and Avicii, this is not fair to have his entire bio and musical history deleted. I would appreciate you taking a second look to this case. Thank you! - Kiran Chandani Kiran chandani (talk) 07:27, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
talk Hi Richard! I am new to wikipedia so I am still getting to know more about the guidelines. However, the idea for such a page was to be informational about the artist never promotional as it was pointed out to be. Thats all I am trying to say. The credibility of the artist was at question during the deletion discussion. Please note I am not the original editor of the page what so ever or made any contributions to the page in the past. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran chandani (talk • contribs) 18:36, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Richard3120 thank you for you info previously I am still learning a lot about wikipedia! i was asked by one of the admins on wiki to do so and I followed their guidelines :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran chandani (talk • contribs) 20:09, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello please refer to my new talk post i created below this one, I did not realize you do not respond to emails so I recreated a new post! Thank you! Kiran chandani (talk) 03:35, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Starkillers Hello I realized after going a bit through your Talk page that you do not respond to emails. I was asked by an admin on undeletion request to contact you directly please see my request below for the starkillers page that was deleted: The article seems to have been deleted based on merely a few comments and questioning of source. There's ample evidence of any info that was on the article. The original editors of the article may have not followed the guidelines properly for wiki, or not sourced properly. But there's enough articles and websites online to support the credibility and notability factor. This is something to my eyes can be easily fixed. Its Starkillers true life journey through music. He has had 12 no. 1 beatport records across various world recognized record labels and has been a producer/dj in the music industry for over 15 years. Also I would like to add: The requests (as time stamped) came about exactly right after an online controversy happened between Starkillers and Avicii. At no other time all these years anyone questioned his wiki page, everything was well sourced and cited and on between Aug 4-6 (the time Starkillers and Avicii conflict occurred) someone might have gone out of their way to have Starkillers page questioned and deleted in such a manner without searching more on google about him. There is evidence of his credibility all over the internet. You may look at his website, social media, beatport, spotify, iTunes, soundcloud, or any other music site for that matter for verifying creditability and notability. I hope you will bring justice to this situation. Also, if you deleted the page because the comments on the discussion suggested he was not notable, please refer to this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_(Nadia_Ali_song) This is one of his biggest hits out of the 12 No. Beatport Records, and it easily meets multiple musician notability criterion based on the wiki guidelines for notability of artists that I read. Please give this article a second chance for proper citing and unbiased use of language on the article. Maybe your assistance and expertise with ensuring all info on the page is appropriate and well cited would be helpful to the page. Please note: I have no connection or contact with the original editor / other editors of the page, neither have I made any edits myself to the page at any time. Thank you! Kiran chandani (talk) 03:29, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
Regarding the AFD, if you think you can present evidence of the subject's notability that was not considered by the participants in the deletion discussion, and that you can make a convincing case that they pass WP:MUSIC, WP:GNG, or another relevant notability guideline, then present a concise and well-supported argument at WP:DRV by following the procedures listed there. I would suggest you instead take some time to better familiarize yourself with Wikipedia, as it seems clear from your comments that you're not yet understanding how it works, why articles are deleted, what constitutes a reliable source, or what our notability guidelines mean. And if your only interest here is just to advocate for Wikipedia covering one musician, you're better off finding another online venue to do that. postdlf (talk) 15:18, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
postdlf talk Hello thank you for your response. My apologies for this. I will learn more about wikipedia as I familiarize myself with it more. I am not trying to advocate for one musician I am just saying the article could really have a 2nd look into it as his notability is easily proven if someone google's about his music and I can definitely make a well-supported argument at WP: DRV. I was also suggested by one of the admins to post it up on Articles for Creation for someone to potentially pick it up as well and other editors can contribute to it. Please let me know what is the best way to go by this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kiran chandani (talk • contribs)

Hi Postdlf, I noticed the article List of Star Wars substances was deleted by you per a discussion. I would really like to access the article content and see if I can find any coverage of it before considering re-creating with proper citations. Could you provide me with a link to a downloadable version of the article or any link that would allow me to view the content. I'd also prefer a version that will give me access to the images. I aim to re-write the article to meet wikipedia standards.
Don't worry, i don't create articles without them having proper prior coverage for citations, you can trust me. Two articles I created were nominated for deletion but were not due to being reliably sourced. But either way, I don't see any harm in me having access to the deleted article's content. Thank you for any assistance you can provide on this.--Nadirali نادرالی (talk) 23:57, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Postdlf. I just noted that the 2032 Summer Olympics article was recreated by a user with a history of sock puppetry within days after the AfD discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2032 Summer Olympics (4th nomination) was closed and the article was deleted by you. Could you delete the recreated article and salt the title pursuant to WP:G4? Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:56, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your question at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of condominiums in the United States, please see Talk:List of condominiums in the United States#Selection criteria --Bejnar (talk) 01:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Back in March 2014 you deleted Paul T T Easter and several related pages after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paul T T Easter. Several of these pages were also salted, although it's not clear to me if you did that or another admin. Paul T T Easter, Stagger (film 2009) and U Mugs (2012) were salted. From reading the deletion discussion, it appears the intention was to also salt Black Shuck (2012 film) and perhaps Black Shuck (film), but they were not. I'm not sure if it's appropriate or desirable to do that at this late date, but I thought I'd let you know, particularly since there is a user at WP:Help Desk#Paul T T Easter wanting to (re)create some of these. Rwessel (talk) 18:20, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
The page was moved from List of victims of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks to Casualties of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Casualties_of_the_2008_Mumbai_attacks#Requested_move
Previous name was better, as it was matching List of victims of the Babi Yar massacre, List of survivors of Sobibór, List of people killed during Euromaidan, List of people who died climbing Mount Everest, List of victims and survivors of Auschwitz.
If the title starts as "List", then it won't be nominated for deletion. Can you make a reverse requested move on that page? I never made such edits as "Requested moves". --The Avengers (talk) 06:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
When you aren't sure if a date is correct, spend the same amount of time to confirm that you spent reversing an edit, and the outcome will be better for everyone, just Google: Daniel Kennard Sadler October 28, 1882. Cheers. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Also, if I may, I would like to ask you a question that I sent to RHaworth before, maybe you can help with?
Thanks again!
== List of ambassadors ==
Hello RHaworth,
I need your help on a newly created article.
I have created a unified List of ambassadors that encompasses several other lists that I created too, like List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom.
This is something that should have been done long time ago, in order to simplify and organize searches in Wikipedia.
Now, in order to keep things nice and tight, and to comply with Wikipedia articles' naming, all my lists, start with: "List of ambassadors.."; however, many articles that they link to, are "List of Ambassadors..".
Of course, I can move one article at a time, but that would be quite a burden, and I could not figure out how to request a technical multiple-articles move.
The way things are standing right now, I need your help (advice) on how to bulk move (rename) all the linked articles that the List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom and the List of ambassadors of Russia are pointing to, to correspond with the newly created lists.
P.S: You can visit Talk:List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom for more info.
Appreciate it!
