May 2007

A tag has been placed on Vern McKinley, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Coren 00:14, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Vern Left1.JPG

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Vern Left1.JPG, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Vern Left1.JPG is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Hi Aaron

Hello Aaron, I hope all is well with you. Nice to see you in Wikipedia. Did you enjoy CPAC? --StevenL (talk) 22:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Agorism sidebar

I invite you to share your opinion about the nomination for deletion of the Agorism and Agorism sidebar. I am doing this since there appears to lack a broad range of libertarians reaching a consensus. Thank you for your time. PublicSquare (talk) 16:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

AfD notice

I have nominated an article to which you have contributed for deletion, because of its lack of citations, despite a request for sources dating back to June 2007. If this nomination is in error, then please post a message to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republican Liberty Caucus; you may also wish to add a bibliography or footnotes to the Republican Liberty Caucus article, as well. Thank you. Bjenks (talk) 02:29, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Category:Republican Liberty Caucus members

I have removed the categories you added to [the Arthur J. Finkelstein] article. Wikipedia categories must be supported by information in the article, and there is nothing in it about Arthur J. Finkelstein being a libertarian. If you have evidence that he is, please add that information to the article with supporting citations. After you've done that, you can re-add the cats I deleted. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 17:41, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

• Ed - apologies, I slightly edited your comment and topic name since this user has added this category on multiple BLPs. Aaron - backing up what Ed says, there may also be a question of how appropriate is the existence of Category:Republican Liberty Caucus members that you created today, and have applied to multiple articles. For instance, far larger group such as the National Abortion Rights Action League nor Eagle Forum have categories for their members. I quick look through the guidelines on categories yielded little help in figuring on whether your cat. is appropriate, but I at least wanted to say my eyebrows were also raised by its inclusion on so many Biographies of Living People. -->David Shankbone 18:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I also want to point out that you removed Category:Libertarians from Bill Maher's article, when he self-identifies as a Libertarian. This seems to be your own POV motivating your actions, but since you don't use edit summaries as you should, I don't know how to AGF about what you are doing. -->David Shankbone 18:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Aaron: I note that despite these comments you continue your activities, so perhaps I haven't been clear. Here is the problem: You cannot add "libertarian" categories to articles in which there is no evidence of libertarianism. Such evidence would be self-identification, memebership in the Libertarian Party, standing for election as a Libertarian candidate, etc. In the instance where this kind of evidence is not available, the article must provide compelling evidence, from reliable sources, that the person is a libertarian, has espoused views normally thought of as libertarian, or is widely considered (by people of all political views) to be libertarian. This means that libertarians cannot necessarily "adopt" historical figures as being libertarians without providing compelling evidence from reliable sources to support their opinion,

The problem is even more acute for living people, who are subject to WP:BLP restrictions. To call a living person a "libertarian" in the absence of referenced information from reliable sources is no more acceptable than labelling someone as a "communist", a "Fascist" or whatever in the absense of evidence. Deletions of this material from BLP articles is not subject to 3RR restrictions.

Please do not continue to add unsupported categories to articles. Thanks. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 19:16, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Take a look at what User:Bastin did on the Arthur J. Finkelsteion article. They inserted cited information that Finkelstein self-identified as a libertarian, and restored the categories I deleted. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about that you need to do with the other articles which currently have no libertarian-realted references in them. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 19:19, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Admin noticeboard

I'm confused, Aaron, why you are spending your time doing work that is only being undone immediately. Regardless, you should note that your refusal to listen to both Ed and I has been reported to the admin noticeboard for violating the site's guidelines and policies with your edits. -->David Shankbone 20:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

POV-pushing

There's a reason other users have been so heavy-handed in reverting your edits--they've added information to articles for which there is no support whatsoever in the article. And when you do it with bios of living people, it's particularly serious.

Unless you have a source for these edits, I suggest you stop this pattern of editing. Otherwise, you may be blocked without further warning. Blueboy96 20:49, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I also note that all three of the images you've uploaded have been deleted for not complying with our policies. You've been here since 2007, so you should know what's acceptable here. Blueboy96 20:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

I've blocked this account from editing Wikipedia, as you appear to be on a spree of adding "libertarian" categories far and wide, including in many areas where they are questionable or inappropriate. Since you haven't responded to the concerns raised on your talk page, I've blocked your account. You should still be able to edit this usertalk page, so if you'd like the block lifted, please leave some assurance here that you'll slow down or stop with the categories and take a look at how things work around here.

CfD nomination of Category:Jewish libertarians

I have nominated Category:Jewish libertarians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 00:43, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

To be fair, the editor is currently blocked, and cannot post comments on CfD. Ed Fitzgerald _{t / c} 00:45, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

While I agree that you have violated some wikipedia rules as mentioned above, not to mention WP:canvass. (I was watching your Talk Page which is how I found out about category problem.)

If you decide to go by [WP:policy]] you defacto agree to by editing here and start editing again, you might do something like List of Jewish anarchists. However, as I've mentioned elsewhere, an individual's article must have WP:RS saying they are both Jewish and libertarian before you can put them in such a list or category, should it be reinstituted.

Considering there is a Category:Jewish anarchists, I do still think it was prejudicial vs. libertarians for them to delete the category. CarolMooreDC (talk) 23:19, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Vern McKinley

The article Vern McKinley has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I don't think that he meets notability guidelines.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. –BLM Platinum (talk) 13:04, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
