Hello RHaworth, are you willing to pre review Draft:Cardano (cryptocurrency platform)? Do you think the article is now good enough to list at articles for creation? Cardano (platform) and the Ada cryptocurrency redirect was deleted. Some where saying it looked like an advertisement, so I tried to write it in a more neutral way.
My apologies for the recreation mess a few weeks ago. The article was deleted and I recreated it quickly. I didn't notice that User:David Gerard moved the article to draft, so when I saved my edit, the article was recreated again - and speedy deleted. Then User:ProgrammingGeek renamed and moved my personal sandbox live and that was moved (back) again to this current draft version. I like the renamed Cardano (cryptocurrency platform) better. Upto then I didn't know the Draft procedure existed. User:David_Gerard gave me some pointers on how to improve this article. That was and is much appreciated.
As stated on my User talk:FlippyFlink I am not paid or compensated to contribute to this article. I also was not asked to start this article. Information security and crypto are one of my favorite topics. So I created several related pages in the English Wikipedia and Dutch Wikipedia. Regards, -- FlippyFlink (talk) 11:25, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
Ok. Thank you for your time. --FlippyFlink (talk) 09:33, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi RHaworth. Please note that User:Cattrina has recreated Draft:List of maze types and names--100.2.221.12 (talk) 17:09, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
Dear RHaworth, you recently deleted this draft for unambiguous copyright infringement. It's my fault to cite part of an article directly to explain the result of a procedure done by myself. I will delete and rewrite this part of the draft and may I create a new draft? Thank you for your patience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zzhbest (talk • contribs) 12:52, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to promote User:Md. Foysol Ahmed/sandbox this wiki page so that people can find out info about SMU. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Md. Foysol Ahmed (talk • contribs) 11:52, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi there! I saw you deleted my newly created page Draft:Targeted_Locus_Amplification due to copyright infringements. I work with the company that owns the website from which the source literature was found. Can the copy right therefore be lifted (with my permission) or can I still amend the page so that it complies with copyright regulations? Happy holidays and many thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjekelder (talk • contribs)
That is perfect, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjekelder (talk • contribs) 11:48, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Please reconsider speedy deletion of Partners in Performance (PIP). You deleted this citing 3 reason. Please reconsider: 1. The original article was dleeted in 2010. The firm has now reached a much higher level of notability. THe admin deleting in 2010 is no longer active on Wikipedia. 2. PIP is a firm with 400 people and offices around the world. COmpare with many other firms on list of management consulting firms PIP is more notable. It is regularly cited and its MD recently won 3rd most influential consultant in Australia, next to McKinsey and BCG 3. The article was properly cited and note written as an advertorial at all. Maybe it's a stub, but given you deleted so quickly there really wasn't a chance to develop it further. Thanks, New but motivated (talk) 05:42, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I am new to this wiki thing and I had thought I had done the right things on the wiki page Suplex Professional Wrestling I had created. I had been adjusting it as I go and waiting for it to get past draft state and then it gets deleted. Please explain why? Can it be restored?

Hello Mr. Roger, I am Mamshad, A 18 years old programmer from Dhaka, Bangladesh. I've recently created a page named Bangladesh Honda Private Limited, which was my first article on Wiki. This article has been deleted thrice I've created this and now it has been protected from editing.I have sent you and email about this and told me to discuss on this in Wiki. I Haven't created this page for any kind of advertisement or commercial promotions. I've created this page so that people all over world may know about this company and activities. But, I forgot to add the links. Is this the reason for my article's deletion ??? Can you please explain me the reasons, why my hard work of many hours is going to be in the dust ???? Can't it be restored ??? Yours Sincerely, Mamshad Shakir Islam User:Mamshad Shakir Islam (talk) 12:50 AM, 31 December 2018 (Bangladeshi Standard Time)
You might take a look at the User:Gaztrorio page in the context of the now deleted Surf2Ship.com and consider whether the user page constitutes an advert or not. Oh. And further context provided by this diff, which seems to spell "not here" (and which I'll revert). HNY. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:19, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Good afternoon, I would like to know why my article on VocApp was deleted. I based it on the article about Duolingo, which is quite a similar app to VocApp. In my opinion, VocApp article was as much informative as the one about duolingo. Also, regarding the company's website as the source - can something be more informative than factual information on the website? No blog or newspaper can be more accurate on the content of a given subject than the subject itself. I would like to hear which exact part of the text I wrote was promotional. Best wishes and have a happy new year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaciekKubiak (talk • contribs)
Please undo the delete of Draft: Kirk B. Stabler, as the article did not have any copyright violations. All of the information was public domain information from the US government. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiFixur (talk • contribs) 13:55, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

EdJohnston (talk), yes, this is a work of the US government, which is why I submitted a request for undeletion. — WikiFixur (talk) 20:14, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
RHaworth (talk), I hope this helps. I provided a link to the licensing disclaimer from the bottom of the site, which states "AF.mil is considered public information". -- WikiFixur (talk) 20:39, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
Can you undelete this? It contains useful warnings and notices for future reference. — CoolSkittle (talk) 22:24, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
I see. Thank you for undeleting. — CoolSkittle (talk) 21:51, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi RHaworth. I've seen you deleted the page I added: draft:Contis Group Limited. I understand it was judged to be too promotional, which I think is because the reference links either weren't numerous or reputable enough. I want to try again, but this time with many more high-authority references, which will prove the noteworthiness of the company. The deletion note said to speak to you first, so I just want to do that and check if you have any thoughts? I also want to see if there's any way I can get the copy back? No problem if not. And just to be totally clear - I have absolutely no interest in creating a promotional page. I want this to be a proper, impartial reference article. So any assistance you can provide in that regard is of course greatly appreciated :) — Tedwards86 (talk) 14:51, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
Could you explain why you declined the speedy deletion on File:Commissioner-oneill2.png?

Good Morning Ms. Haworth, I'm afraid I have to ask you why the draft about the topic Federico Albanese was deleted. The biography you're referring to as a copyright infringiment ( http://www.arttourist.com/jazz/labels/neue-meister/federico-albanese.html ) has been actually copied from the the original biography of Federico which appears on his own website (https://www.federicoalbanese.com/about) and written by Albanese himself and his management, which is also related to this other biography ( http://www.schneiderplus.com/en/artists/a-new-artist-template/biografie.html ), Schneider Plus is Federico Albanese's Management. I hope it could be restored and re-reviewed. Many Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredogomez2018 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
@C.Fred There is a "© 2019 Federico Albanese" on the bottom of each page of the website. The bio was written by Federico Albanese himself. So it is definitely an official one which can be used anywhere officially and freely, we've add a creative commons license on the bottom of the biography. many thanks and I hope it can be re-reviewed and restored. If there is anything else which is wrong or unclear we're happy to keep editing until it meets all the criteria. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fredogomez2018 (talk • contribs) 12:17, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

I approved this out of AFC after reviewing newspaper sources in Arabic, which was a huge pain in my ass. It certainly was not a speedy deletion candidate. Can you restore (and its talk page) for any future needed deletion processes?--Milowent • hasspoken 13:40, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I recently began to create a page for Hugh Charles Welsh and I was flagged for having a phrase that violated copy write rules. I thought I had properly cited the source, but as I am new to editing and creating pages, I must have not done it correctly. In order to correct this mistake I immediately removed the phrase that was said to be copied. However, shortly after that I discovered that my entire draft had been deleted.
With this in mind, I was wondering if there was anyway to get back all of the work that I had done. I had spent hours creating that page and researching all the information I needed to include (Hugh Welsh is my boss and I was actually working on a project for him). When I try to go back to the sandbox mode I now see that all the content I had created is now blank. Is there anyway that I can get this information back (not to be published but just so I can further edit it in order to be in accordance with the rules)?
I apologize for the confusion but I simply do not understand why all of my work was deleted because of one mistake - like I mentioned previously, I am new to this and any additional clarification on the guidelines would be appreciated as well. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattsepe (talk • contribs) 00:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Edit: Thank you - I will make sure to be more careful going forward and will add the correct citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattsepe (talk • contribs) 15:24, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Hi RHaworth, This is Vishal from India. Recently I created a Wikipedia page for the book, Emotions Unplugged. I was under the impression that we need references for everything we write and a Wikipedia page is deleted if we write information for which the reference is not available. With this notion, I created the page taking much information from one of the sources. However, I understand that I'm violating the content published by one of the references. Hence, I've rewritten the content. Can you please guide me in re-creating the page? Looking forward to your help and support. Thanks & Best Regards, Vishal — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vishalanand07 (talk • contribs) 20:15, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
You closed this AfD discussion with no explanation after it had been open for only 12 minutes, with no input to the discussion beyond the nominator. This appears to be out of process. Would you care to explain? -- Michig (talk) 09:33, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
The page for sports broadcasting rights in India was deleted by you in 2017. May I know what the reason was. I am unable to find any details on the reason for its deletion, nor the type of content that was in that article. However, since there are such pages for a lot of other countries, I do not see a reason for its deletion. I am planning to recreate the page but would like to know the reasons for its deletion so I can avoid the mistakes that were made and forced you to delete it. — Ruppanbabu (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2019 (UTC)Ruppanbabu
Hello Thank you for looking over my Wikipedia page. I have addressed the issues of notability that you left as the reason for possible deletion of my page. The issues were addressed according to Wikipedia guidelines. I have left more info on my talk page. I hope you find my corrections satisfactory and I thank you for your help. Please let me know if I need to make any further corrections. (Brian Kachejian) (BrianKachejian (talk) 19:51, 5 January 2019 (UTC))
Dear Mr. Haworth, As a fellow grumpy old man, I would like to be sure I follow correct procedure. I started this sandbox some years ago for my father Peregrine Fellowes. I failed to take it further than a title and I see you deleted it some time ago, as "stale" (which it definitely was!).
I plan to get the thing done this year, in fact, starting today I am assembling my notes. I will write as much as possible offline for my next attempt to publish a page on this man's intriguing career, that you may accept that I will have a complete page done within a short time (I have yet to figure out the protocols, creating the boxes and uploading a picture and so on).
On this basis, would you allow the title to be revived, assuming I apply with the work done as described? In fact, I'm not sure if I have registered a final title, but I hope it can be "Peregrine Fellowes". Among other things, Perry Fellowes was the father of Julian Fellowes, my brother, also known as The Lord Fellowes these days, Oscar winner, Downton Abbey etc. etc.
I have logged in for this talk page, and I expect you have my email, but just in case, it is <redacted>. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Rory Fellowes (talk) 12:25, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello there. The article for Reassemblage (album) was speedy deleted by you last month because there was not an article for the duo behind the album, Visible Cloaks. I have since made the article for the duo. However, I did not create the article for the Reassemblage album, nor do I ever remember contributing to it. The creator of the article was EditorE, who has been banned indefinitely. I am not asking on behalf of that user to restore the article - we've never met - but I feel it was a great piece of work and if the only issue for its deletion has been addressed now I was wondering if it could be restored? The business of deleting and restoring articles is mostly uncharted territory for me so sorry if it's not my business to ask, but thanks anyway. -- TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 15:34, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello RHaworth, my name is Filippo Piscopo, I'm new to Wikipedia and I am the author of a draft of an article on my film "It will Be Chaos" on the European refugee crisis that was deleted from my sandbox a couple of hours ago. I have not created this page for any kind of advertisement or commercial promotion. I've created this page so that people worldwide may learn about the film and the related refugee crisis topic thanks to the outstanding Wikipedia application. I understand that you saw the reference to HBO but, again, the article is not on HBO or a TV broadcaster but about a film. Can you please restore it so that I can keep working on it and submit it for review? I've put a lot of work in it ... I also have re-read the guidelines on how to write a Wiki article and I have several edits in mind to conform my article to the Wikipedia style. Thank you very much for your understanding. Best Regards Film2pro (talk) 17:57, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
Greetings,
The page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Christ_Church_of_Clarkson was deleted before I could correct the issues involved, namely, the use of an article that I wrote on the rocwiki page (https://rocwiki.org/Christ_Church_of_Clarkson). Do I understand this to mean that the article that I spent many hours on is now gone for good or can it be restored so that I may correct it?

Hi, there. I see that you acted upon my speedy deletion request to the Draft:The Vision and Scarlet Witch page, but you merged the history of that original page in with the proper page Draft:Vision and the Scarlet Witch. That was not my request, as I requested that the original page, Draft:The Vision and Scarlet Witch, to be deleted and for the proper page, Draft:Vision and the Scarlet Witch, to be renamed to the new title, Draft:The Vision and Scarlet Witch. Merging the history of the two pages was not my request, so I'd like it if you could please remove the improper history from the page, being from version 08:01, January 10, 2019 Robberey1705 to version 09:11, January 12, 2019 Trailblazer101.

Hi RHaworth, on Wednesday you suddenly deleted my article BBC investigation into pre-pubescent rape evidence failures about the extremely serious and newsworthy topic of very young children who were raped being woefully failed by forensic investigators. Please clarify whether you believe my new draft of this article is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you don't respond, I will assume you are satisfied with it. Tots & little ones matter! (talk) 18:52, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
Sincerely --SvenAERTS (talk) 20:24, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
The article, which about the extremely serious and newsworthy topic of how very young children who were raped were then woefully failed by investigators, has no more than a few direct quotes spoken by named individuals in quotation marks and only a very small limited number of reused phrases such as "independently reviews forensic evidence for defence and prosecution cases", which were difficult to rewrite without losing or significantly distorting their meaning. These reused phrases may be permissible under WP:LIMITED.
The criterion WP:G12 is absolutely crystal clear that "for equivocal cases that do not meet speedy deletion criteria (such as ... close paraphrasing), the article or the appropriate section should be blanked with ((subst:Copyvio|url=insert URL here))" and not speedily deleted.
Your reaction of obliterating the article's information as fast as possible was way over the top. Tots & little ones matter! (talk) 21:39, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
