Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation deletion
→ in re: Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I noticed you speedily deleted the Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation page. This page was recently nominated for CSD with the same G11 tag and I removed it because I believe that it was an applicable candidate for G11. It says in G11 that "any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion". The article seemed to be written from a neutral point of view. I would have liked to have been notified of the parts where this wasn't so. It also says at WP:CSD that "administrators should take care not to speedy delete pages or media except in the most obvious cases". Is this really one of the most obvious cases? The article was well sourced and the subject was covered by independent third party sources. Is it appropriate to readd a same CSD tag instead of going to AfD? It certainly does not seem reasonable, especially since there was not kind of assumed consensus required for it to be deleted speedily (by the tag being added and removed previously).

Hi Athaenara, You recently deleted an article, [[1]], while an open AFD [[2]] is being discussed. Since I am the nominator I can't close it, so if you have a chance would you close it? Thanks! CBS527Talk 16:14, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Richard Greene and clarity
→ in re: Richard Greene (author and speaker) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Hi. So, not sure if you read my reaction to seeing the speedy deletion immediatly pop up on the article I was creating about author and speaker Richard Greene - but I'm pretty darn confused as to what's happened! I wasn't writing a promo piece about him; I thought he was a really interesting subject after I saw his Ted talk and poked around a bit and turns out he actually is fascinating and has a really cool and interesting life and history. The guys a radio and media personality and his book (the one Penguin put out) seems pretty amazing (and has a forward by Tony Robbins. I'm asking in all sincerity for some clarity because I love being a part of wiki and I want to understand and learn; and also, I just don't get why it was so challenged? Respectfully... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akrumoftruth (talk • contribs) 17:12, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
User: Athaenara Still hoping to get clarity from you as to why you deleted the article I'd started about Richard Greene. I reached out to other users for help and they're directing me back to you. While I've been waiting to hear from you to understand your reasoning for deleting the article, I have found more solid links about him connecting him to what I wrote in the piece, including an on-camera interview on CBS News about his job as Princess Diana's speech coach. Surely that alone would be of interest to wiki community - I love wiki and I'd love to learn more about this which is why I'd investigated him in the first place ;-). I have the link to CBS as well as the link to the article about the popular radio program he created and hosted for Air America that another wiki author posted in 2007.
So please, I am asking with great sincerity - tell me what I did wrong; and if possible, tell me how I can re-write this so you'd feel better about it because I'm guessing I approached it all wrong? I want what I create to be appreciated by the community, so this hurts!... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akrumoftruth (talk • contribs) 20:20, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
- It's clear you admire the guy and want to promote him, but that's not what this encyclopedia is for. If he becomes notable enough that other users create a neutral and encyclopedic page about him, all well and good. If you're impatient, you can try WP:DRV and ask that it be put in your userspace as a draft to work on it further (see Help:Userspace draft). – Athaenara ✉ 23:34, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! I created this page for reasons that escape everyone, including me. Thank you for deleting it. But while you were deleting it, I was creating its talk page, simply asking for someone to delete it. Would you now delete the talk page for the nonexistent project page which had been a redirect to the main namespace? J♯m (talk | contribs) 21:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Related deletion requests
Hi! Thanks for speedy deleting my User:D'Ranged 1/parameter naming sandbox and User:D'Ranged 1/parameter naming sandbox2 as requested. Those two sandbox pages were transcluded on a host of Template testcase and sandbox pages; I also requested speedy deletion for them. They can be found at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion as test pages; they're the "Cite..." pages. Without my sandbox pages, the template testcase pages are displaying red links where the transclusions used to be. The sandbox pages consist solely of a link to the related testcase page.

Surat redirects
→ in re: many pages linked in List of tourist attractions in Surat which merely redirect to Surat
I noticed you are deleting a bunch of Surat redirects as G7. Where did the author of those redirects request deletion? I was under the impression that the author was going to update the tourist attraction list instead. -- Tavix (talk) 21:13, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
- I've been deleting most of them as G6, adding "tagged G7, more at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 November 1" to the summaries. There are similar discussions at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 October 29 and Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2017 November 2. – Athaenara ✉ 21:25, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

- It looks like cleanup to me. Do you want them undeleted as per this discussion? – Athaenara ✉ 21:30, 3 November 2017 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Dr. Azra Quraishi
→ in re: Azra Quraishi (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
You deleted a page about Dr. Azra Quraishi after other contributors had improved attributions on the page. I am rather devastated to have lost all the work - especially contributions of people I do not know. Is there any way this page still exists as a draft?
If you are concerned about her notability, please note that two wiki pages already refer to her and suggest she have her own page. We were working on incorporating those links:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_recipients_of_the_Ordre_des_Palmes_Acad%C3%A9miques
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borlaug_Award
The majority of the recipients of these awards have wiki pages. Dr. Quraishi is in the same category.
I really hope you can help me recover my work.

Speedy Deletion of Florian Munteanu

→ see also: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers/Archive 14#Florian Munteanu Creed II actor
This page should not be speedily deleted because nothing on the page is incorrect when it comes to sources. Another reason is that Florian Munteanu (actor) is a known public figure, and a page about him would compliment that.
His page was first deleted on 21 October 2018 it had no sources, which I understood. I improved the page with many additions. Legendfootballers (talk) · 11:31, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- On the contrary, the version deleted in October had twelve sources, the version deleted today had seven. Please note the most detailed rationale presented in the October AfD: " ... he's appeared in one short film. Even if his role in Creed II is significant, and we don't know since the film has not come out yet, he would fail WP:NACTOR which requires "significant roles in multiple notable films". All coverage relates to his upcoming role in Creed II and I don't think that's enough to meet WP:GNG (more like WP:BLP1E). At best, it appears this article was created WP:TOOSOON." That is still the case. – Athaenara ✉ 11:42, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- I see now that Creed II was released two days ago. I don't know if or how much that changes things. You could ask on the talk page of Wikipedia:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers. – Athaenara ✉ 11:53, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- He needs a wiki page. Thousands of people saw Creed II and have no clue who played the son of Ivan Drago. 12,000 people saw his wiki page yesterday (checked via toollabs:pageviews analysis). It's very important..people need to know the person and who portrays the character Viktor Drago in the film.
- Florian Munteanu is a new upcoming actor. According to his manager Eduard Irimia, Munteanu will star in three other Hollywood films in 2019: source, which is in Romanian.
- Please restore the page back. Thank you. Legendfootballers (talk) · 14:18, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
- The people at the actors and filmmakers wikiproject are experienced and dedicated editors with a focus on this specific area of encyclopedic content, which is why I suggested you ask them. – Athaenara ✉ 21:20, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I recently created a page "The Bandito Tour" (the reason it is still there is because someone else decided to recreate it. However it is unencyclopedic and has already been tagged with speedy deletion). It was previously created under the name "Bandito Tour", but was deleted after a proposed deletion. The reason I recreated it was because I thought enough content had come to light to recreate the page with additional content. (background, concert synopsis, reviews). This was definitely a mistake on my part, so it was deleted. I have been recommended by the Teahouse to ask you to draftify the article so that I can continue working on it until it's maybe good enough to submit the draft for review via WP:AFC. Is this okay? Have a great day. MikeOwen discuss 16:49, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

What the heck? Why are you running around deleting perfectly valid pages?
You deleted Ahmad b. Jalal al-Din Kasani so fast that I didn't even see it before you did it. There was nothing that didn't conform to Wikipedia standards. I also wrote the Encyclopedia of Islam (Brill) article on him. He's just an ordinary historical figure! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vikagardner (talk • contribs) 12:14, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
- Your last edit to that page was in March 2013, so it could have been treated as misuse of Wikipedia as a web host (WP:CSD#U5) or as an abandoned draft (WP:CSD#G13). The tagger chose the former, and it was accordingly deleted, but I have restored it for you and removed the tag without prejudice. You are welcome. – Athaenara ✉ 12:28, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Frietjes (talk) 12:44, 10 December 2018 (UTC)- Hi. I just unified and renamed all Module:Location map/data/Czechia* to be redirects to Module:Location map/data/Czech Republic*. Now we have 11 modules Czech Republic and 11 Czechia redirects - see Template:Location map/List, sooner it was like 7 modules Czechia, 3 modules Czech Republic and 1 redirect Czechia->Czech Republic. Yeah, I wanted to unify the links too, because Czechia is still considered uncommon, and this "invisible" use may be considered disruptive. Also now it is not easy to search through wikipedia and filter "visible" and "invisible" uses of Czechia, at least for me not easy. Chrzwzcz (talk) 18:03, 10 December 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletions under G7
Hi, I noticed that you deleted multiple pages on 1 December 2018, including Brabim Karki and Wikipedia:Annapurna Post which had since 2016 been at Annapurna Post, under WP:G7 (only one editor who now requests deletion), even though multiple editors had contributed some substance to those articles.
If you accepted the G7 tags under WP:IAR on the basis that the articles were mostly originated by user:Ozar77, and appeared highly unlikely to survive AfD as non-notable, then I believe you ought to have referred to this rationale in your deletion log entries.
However, if you accepted the G7 tags at face value without checking the page history, please would you be more careful in future?

You seem to have deleted this by G13 a few mintes after I restored it from deletion as probably notable. I've restored it again.

Hello Athaenara, I am the user Natzione. I would like to explain why I am asking to delete my talk page and why this request is acceptable. The message left in my talk page was by another Italian user, and it was just an apology message in Italian by that user who had not understood some of my edits. I know that user talk pages are not "generally" deleted because they "might" contain pieces of discussions, notifications of bad behaviours, and other things we should keep recorded, keep track of. This is just an apology message, not even needed because our edits had ended before that message was written. Some days before, I had already received another message from another user, who was just thanking me for some of my edits. I asked for the page to be deleted and it was almost immediately deleted. I wonder why I could not do the same thing now. Really, I have done very few edits and I am going to do just a few more, I would like my talk page to be a "red link". Well, should I do or have done any vandalisms or something against rules I would not demand or would not have demand to delete a page where, for example, a block notification or a block warning was put, but this is not the case, there is just that personal message as there was another some days before. I am asking you, please, to delete my talk page, which is currently blank. As I have explained there is nothing deserving to be kept for any reasons there, so I would like to ask you this favour. In case there will be any need in future to restore it, I know that admins have the tools to recreate it and its history, so it would not be lost forever, just it will appear as if it had not been created yet. I hope you will do this favour for me. Whatever you want to answer please write here, this request is quite obvious. Thanks. 5.171.1.122 (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- I deleted the page in January but it was re-created a few days ago, then deleted and undeleted (log) by another admin. I considered your request seriously, but I will not engage in what is called wheel warring. Aside from that, my view of it is different from yours: the welcome message was harmless, the subsequent message was harmless, and there would have been nothing wrong with just leaving those two messages undisturbed there. – Athaenara ✉ 20:42, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- To illustrate my point, this is what the page would look like. – Athaenara ✉ 20:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Okay, thank you for your answer. I did not thought at all that somebody would leave a thanks message and an apology message, I am happy that somebody wanted to tell me such things but I did not want my talk page to be created for that. Shortly I will be moving to the Italian version where I registered my account, I would rather my talk page not to exist here if there is nothing significant inside. Are you sure that you do not want to give it at least a try and delete it on my request? The admin who restored my page was the one who deleted it just before that, I do not know why he changed his mind but I am sure that he would not mind at all if the page is deleted again on my request, he had not been connecting for over a month when he deleted and restored it. In case I am wrong and he comes back to recreate it I will not ask for the deletion again, but at least give it a try, please. It is not a bad thing and I have done nothing bad, I just would like not to have a talk page here. 5.171.1.217 (talk) 07:39, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- It's true that the other admin might not mind, but why not just ask him yourself? If you provide a link to this discussion in your message, you won't have to restate everything you've written here at length. – Athaenara ✉ 12:20, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
I could, but as I said that admin is currently inactive, his last edit before his intervention on my talk page goes back to 24 December 2017 (one year and one month, not just one month, I have just noticed it). Have a look here... It seems strange to me that he logged in just after my request and just to accept it and then revert himself, as if he wanted to "set a precedent" for that "wheel warring" you have talked about... If there were not these circumstances and he was still active I would have asked him instead of you, but against this background I am sure that this matter can be set easily with a deletion of my talk page on my request by a different admin than him. I am not asking the moon after all. 5.171.1.164 (talk) 17:54, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- Flattering as it is to be treated as your personal custom bespoke administrator (a little mild sarcasm there), there are lengths to which I do not care to go. It seems to me you'd like the page to be deleted every time anyone posts on it, or perhaps even protected so nobody can post on it. Having a user talk page is a normal part of having a registered user account on Wikipedia, why seek such special treatment here? – Athaenara ✉ 22:32, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
- I have restored (diff) the two friendly messages which were posted to your user talk page. Please adapt to the reality that such messages are quite normal, are not vandalism, and interfere in no way with you or with Wikipedia. – Athaenara ✉ 22:44, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
I did not mean what you said. If a discussion about anything had started in my talk page, or if I was notified that an edit of mine had been undone because it was against rules, I would have not asked for my talk page to be deleted as it was before such messages. It is just this, I am sincerely annoyed by useless messages such as those, and since they both are nothing important at all I asked to delete my page, that is to restore it as a red link, as it was before those messages. If you are not rconsidering your decision not to do this favour to me I will not insist any longer. But I could not believe that you unblanked my talk page and readded the messages, overall after you yourself said that "it's perfectly acceptable to blank the page". At least restore my previous blanking, I will not ask you again to delete the page and perhaps I will try with the admin who deleted and restored it, as you sugested, even if I have no real hopes he will listen to my request. 5.171.1.57 (talk) 13:21, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- One thing you could have done, and still can do if the situation arises again, is leave messages on the user talk pages of those who posted to you personally rather than on the article talk pages, asking them to please post such messages on article talk pages instead of on your user talk page. – Athaenara ✉ 13:24, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
- Or, even more logically, respond to their messages on your user talk page, telling them that you would prefer they engage in such conversations on the article talk pages. – Athaenara ✉ 15:06, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes... But this would not solve the present issue. The talk page was created, even if other users continued posting new messages the situation does not change for me, I should have anticipated the users who wrote those messages in my talk page by telling them in their talk pages not to write those messages in my talk page... And since you do not want to grant my request to delete my talk page at least you should not have restored the messages which I had removed ("it's perfectly acceptable to blank the page") so I am asking you the favour to reblank the page, please. 5.171.1.48 (talk) 19:17, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

I see that you have closed Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 19 #Module:URLWD as 'delete' even though the debate seems to favour merging, not deletion. You have since speedy deleted Module:URLWD as WP:CSD#G7, which I believe is out-of-process as I am the author and I have not requested deletion. Please reverse your closure and deletion to allow proper consideration of the option to merge the functionality of the modules. Thanks in advance, --RexxS (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

- Yes, Athaenara, but your CSD deletion automatically triggered AnomieBOT to close the TfD discussion, that's how it works. Technically, the bot closed the TfD; in reality you were responsible for it. Without your undeletion, any attempt to unclose the TfD would be reverted by the bot. --RexxS (talk) 02:09, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi Athaenara,
Regarding your speedy of this article; the user is retiring, and nominating many of their articles for deletion. My recollection from seeing this a few times is that we've generally not considered this a "good faith" nomination; the most recent example I can think of was Seraphim System. While I have zero concerns about your deletion of this page in isolation, I wanted you to know the pattern. If you agree, perhaps you could gently add a comment at User talk:Fitzcarmalan? They're upset, so I don't want to bludgeon them, and I'm probably coming off as a jerk there in spite of my best efforts. And, of course, if you think we should be deleting all these, and I am being a jerk, then that would be good to know too. We could ask at WT:CSD or WP:AN or someplace. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:45, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
I noticed you deleted Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Popular portals, which I contested deletion for. Because I was the only editor (except from one other editor requesting speedy deletion) and I didn't want it deleted, I doubt that G7 is valid criteria to use here. Also I had added info to the page, to explain that the page was wating for the bot to come along and fill it (I was waiting to see if the bot would fill the page when it was created). This also means that G6 does not apply, as it has other edits.
Although I am not too fused about deletion, I don't think either criteria were validly used here. Thanks, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 22:14, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

- @Johnbod: When I saw it, the page history showed its 00:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC) creation by you as a redirect to Quoit brooch and MauraWen's 01:00, 21 May 2019 (UTC) {{db-move}} tag showing the intention to move the article developed in user sandbox space to that mainspace page name. – Athaenara ✉ 06:51, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- Ok, I couldn't see that, & the term was just a redlink. I'm not sure it was uncontroversial, as the proposed new stub has less info than already existed at the redirect. Seems like the wrong rationale to me, but whatever. Thanks. Johnbod (talk) 11:48, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- I'm sorry if I caused a problem by deleting the redirect. I thought that a standalone (slightly smaller article) on a famous brooch was a better article to have in the Wikipedia mainspace than the alternative of information on the brooch in a paragraph of an article on an art style named for the brooch. @Johnbod and Athaenara: Is there a Wikipedia philosophy/guideline on the best approach to this type of situation: embedded subject vs standalone subject? I just want to understand so I won't make this mistake again (if it was s a mistake). MauraWen (talk) 12:27, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
- No worries - I just didn't understand what was going on. I've added a couple of bits from your draft to Quoit brooch. Personally I think the reader is better served in this case by keeping the two together, when the brooch is much the best example of the distinctive style, & needs to be understood in this context. There's no general "philosophy/guideline on the best approach to this type of situation", & the best approach varies from case to case, but the needs of the reader should always be thought about, and if not sure, you can always ask the editors who set up the redirect, or did the target. For me, the standout AS brooches needing articles are the Pentney Hoard (we have photos), or the Trewhiddle style could get its own article. But there are others, without such close ties to a style.

- @MauraWen and Johnbod: The most standard construction in an article such as Quoit brooch with a section about an important example would be to use {{main}} under the section heading for it followed by a brief paragraph or two of the important high points. Quoit brooch itself is still fairly brief but as its current brevity is not necessarily a permanent condition it wouldn't be inappropriate to do this. I could, for example, redelete the redirect, move the sandbox article to that page name, and again undelete the other edits which complete the page history. – Athaenara ✉ 01:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- I wouldn't really say that myself when the Sarre coverage is so short in both - "main" should only really be used when the "main" article is significantly longer (or, say, we had lots of photos, which we don't have). Johnbod (talk) 01:37, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
@Athaenara and Johnbod:Thanks for responding. This has been very educational. No need to delete the redirect. MauraWen (talk) 13:30, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. My apologies if I'm in the wrong place, but did you intend to delete XJet and X-Jet? According to the discussion(s) they should both have been targeted to X-Jet (disambiguation). Did something go wrong? Thanks for looking into this. (Courtesy ping to Steel1943 and InvalidOS incase they have a better idea as to what happened.) - PaulT+/C 20:05, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

- Actually, I think it was Steel1943. Sorry to clutter your talk page. One last pedantic point because I can't help myself: InvalidOS is correct for X-Jet as the outcome was disambiguate for that one, but XJet was supposed to retarget to that disambiguation page. When I first posted the message here both articles had been deleted for a number of hours which didn't make any sense and was the cause of my confusion. There was never any need to delete or move anything as the disambiguation entries had already been created below the redirect at X-Jet. All that was needed to be done was to close out the RfD templates, retarget XJet, remove the redirect at X-Jet (leaving the already-created DAB entries), and then create X-Jet (disambiguation) and XJet (disambiguation) targeting the disambiguation page per WP:DABNAME. Unless I'm missing something? Was G6 requested for some other reason that I'm missing? - PaulT+/C 03:19, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Psantora: I undeleted the previous edits of the two I deleted, which has no effect on their current state but keeps their page histories intact.

Combining Three Antifa MFDs

I see that you agreed with me in deleting one of the three MFDs for Antifa userboxes. But the other one was reverted by User:RHaworth. Can you and he please resolve whether we have one bundled MFD or three separate MFDs? Maybe he misunderstood and thought that I was trying to speedy the userbox rather than to speedy the extra MFDs.

- AFA--need help with deleting a redirect and moving a new article
You were very helpful with a redirect issue I had a few months ago. I thought I would ask you for help with a new issue. I wrote a draft called "Association for Feminist Anthropology" and found it had a redirect to a paragraph on the Anthropology Association page. I went to the Teahouse for help in having the redirect deleted. One editor said, "No problem," they would remove the redirect and the next editor said no, my draft had only one source--the organization. I have found additional sources since then, but I am a little reluctant to ask the teahouse for help on this article. I would appreciate it if you could remove the redirect and move the article, The Association for Feminist Anthropology to "Association for Feminist Anthropology", If you can't, or there is a problem, please let me know what I should do next. thanks MauraWen (talk) 00:14, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

doc page revert and deletion

This is about the /doc page you deleted, Template:Indo-Aryan languages/doc, and the revert of my creation and application of that /doc page with this edit. The reverting editor has tried to garner consensus for non-inclusion of separate /doc pages; however they have not been able to do so and yet they continue to revert helpful /doc pages. As you may know, there has been a long-term community consensus for the creation and usage of separate documentation pages for at least as long as I've been editing Wikipedia, especially for templates like {{Indo-Aryan languages}}, one of the longer and more complex ones. I ask that you please reconsider the deletion of this useful /doc page, so that when it is edited in the future, it does not require reparsing every instance of the template. P. I.

I could not login in Wikipedia for last week for the festive time and now when I logged in I found the page has been deleted by you.

Can you please restore the page as I think it has it should have its place in Wikipedia being notable. Regarding promotional content removal, please guide me so that I can remove or rewrite problematic part. user:Waggers advised me to read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, which I did and it said my argumentation in favor of an article can not be 'based solely on what other articles do or do not exist' which was never my argument. My primary emphasis was the software is very notable and why in spite of being notable it can not have its place where there are pages with inferior references and notability and if the tone or language of the article I wrote was promotional, then many other articles should be accused in same manner.

I see you've declined speedy deletion of User:Metooxas/sandbox. I disagree that it's a legitimate sandbox - with an election dated 80 years in the future, it is obviously not a draft or notes for any kind of mainspace article. Based on their editing pattern (uploading fake election maps to Commons, and almost all enwiki edits making fake election infoboxes in their user sandbox), they are one of a number of users from alternate history forums who are using Wikipedia as free webhosting. This recent AN discussion about such users seemed to have consensus that sandboxes of obviously fake elections were WP:NOTWEBHOST violations and should be deleted.

Kirsty Applebaum draft
- Silly of me
Hi Athaenara, I see that you deleted the copyright violating draft Draft:Kirsty Applebaum. I had tagged it for deletion, but before I did that I am almost sure placed an AfC comment on it, explaining that copyright wasn't the only issue. I forgot that the draft's creator wouldn't be able to see the AfC comment once the draft was deleted – comments that are created as part of an AfC decline are copied to the creator's talk page, but other AfC comments are not, and I ought to be aware of that by now... Could I ask you to look at the deleted page and copy my comment to Joenthwarls' user talk page? Regards, --bonadea contributions talk 08:21, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Georgii Kalnitzky sandbox

Hi. Ok, I agree with deletion of my sandbox... But i really want to copy it to store somewhere else. Thank You. – Georgii Kalnitzky (talk) 07:14, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Georgii Kalnitzky: What was the purpose of that sandbox? – Athaenara ✉ 10:05, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Athaenara: First of all that page was for improving skills in creating and editing articles. And in combination, this page was used to calm down on the advice of my psychologist (to fight anxiety disorder). I just didn't know that a personal sandbox could be viewed and deleted by someone. Everything that was on that page is very important to me.

Check on recreated article
Hello! You deleted the article Ilayaraja (film) back in May 2019 as being created by a blocked user (for using multiple accounts). The article was recreated recently, but I have no way of knowing if this recreation is independent of the deleted article or if this may be a sockpuppet recreation. Would you mind checking? Thank you! BOVINEBOY2008 02:12, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Bovineboy2008: It's not the same article, and I don't spend enough time in the sockpuppet area to guess immediately whether or not another one has popped up. Sorry. – Athaenara ✉ 02:24, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I would like to know why you deleted the article The Black Mamba (Portuguese band)?. First of all without notifying me. Secondly, participating in Eurovision is deemed notable. Their Eurovision entry has charted high in several countries. And the article was sourced. Your reasons for the deletion was faulty at best.BabbaQ (talk) 08:41, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- @BabbaQ: It had been in the speedy deletion categories for awhile. I didn't tag it, and whoever did should have notified you. You can ask them (see the page history) about that. – Athaenara ✉ 09:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- How could you speedy delete an article that is sourced. And has several chart peaks? Anyway. Thanks for clarifying.--BabbaQ (talk) 09:20, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Came here from DRV. I'm skipping the trout, but please review WP:CCS and understand that your deletion of this article was a mistake. The reason some things stick around CSD for a while is that they don't actually meet the deletion criteria in question, and other admins who've reviewed it don't take the time to remove the CSD tagging when it's inappropriate. So, if it's "stale" in the queue, odds are multiple other admins have looked at it and not done anything, so my advice is to be a bit suspicious when dealing with the oldest things in any admin queue. Cheers, Jclemens (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
- I must add my comment here, because I'm shocked that an admin would ask someone to refer to the tagger. The reason anyone gets made an admin is that they are capable of making their own correct decisions. The tagger was wrong, which is forgiveable, but for an admin to disclaim responsibility for deleting something that obviously shouldn't be deleted is not.

Hi, I saw this just got a G4 speedy. Can I just confirm that the new version of the article was not substantially different from the deleted version? I struggle to remember, but I think there may have been some extra work done that would have lifted it out of G4 territory. Chubbles (talk) 21:08, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
- It didn't become more notable after the AfD and deletion, and there was nothing in the post-AfD page version to suggest that it had. – Athaenara ✉ 21:11, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Restore Akinlolu Jekins
→ in re: Akinlolu Jekins (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
I find it interesting you use the term 'repeatedly creating'. I created the page for the first time yesterday. Further more, may I know the exact reasons why this page was deleted be provided besides the fact it was created previously? Were the reference not notable enough? Did he meet the notability criteria, because he clearly does. Was the article badly written? if yes, point out exactly where, because it wasn't written with promotional intent. if there were adverbs or adjectives to sensationalize the article, please indicate. The article, just like any other on wikipedia is undergoing upgrades. Yesterday, 3 editors updated it. Kindly review, restore or provide the article for further update.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pshegs (talk • contribs) 10:16, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Pshegs: You do know what "repeatedly" meant: as I posted on your talk page and on the other three (User talk:Alayewiki, User talk:Princeansa, User talk:Newton256), yours was the most recent of four accounts used to create a page about this subject. – Athaenara ✉ 19:14, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
- Something feels off
I noted this on the TP of Princeansa (they aren’t pinged), they created this promotional non notable article today. Something feels off as I believe I have seen that article created and deleted before, I just can’t for the life of me remember where. Celestina007 (talk) 19:21, 17 November 2021 (UTC)
User:Wikiuserkam
Hi! You recently flagged Wikiuserkam for COI and followed through with deleting some unambiguous adverts created by the user (e.g. Blue Girl (film)). It appears that a similar user, WikibotAiUser, has been recreating some of these articles (e.g. Blue Girl (2020 film)). Appears to be a sockpuppet/meatpuppet situation but unfortunately I don't really have time to collect data and follow through with an investigation. If you have a chance, can you look into these edits? Thanks! BOVINEBOY2008 09:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Hello! This is WikibotAiUser. Wikiuserkam is clearly the account of either a spammer or someone who is manipulating the Wikipedia platform. I write about actors, indie films and short films. The article I wrote for the above mentioned film was a stub. I suggest that Wikiuserkam should be removed from Wikipedia and I will look into reporting that account - I'm still new to Wikipedia so I do not know how that works. The account should be shut down as it's blatant platform manipulation at the expense of the reputations of minor children that this user promotes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikibotAiUser (talk • contribs) 15:05, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
- Also obvious: User:WikibotAiUser registered mere hours after User:Wikiuserkam's last edit, so one might reasonably wonder if they're the same person. – Athaenara ✉ 16:07, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Again, I write generally about actors and films. You can look at my editing history and see all of the other stubs that I have created and all of the articles that I have contributed to besides this one stub article. Additionally, if I were making an advert for the film, I would not cite the film's mixed reviews or use a 2/10 rating from Film Threat as a source. I will happily stop writing specifically about "Blue Girl" or related films if that's what you want. Again, I have written about many other films and actors. You should block WikiuserKam's IP address so that that account and any duplicate accounts will be blocked. Just an idea. Thank you. - WikibotAiUser — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikibotAiUser (talk • contribs) 17:47, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
I'm going to stop writing articles for Wikipedia until this WikiuserKam business is resolved so that I don't find myself getting further involved in this. Thank you. Best, WikibotAiUser — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikibotAiUser (talk • contribs) 18:27, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Athaenara, I noticed that you deleted the Madhyanagar Upazila because it was created by a blocked user. I have no idea who the user is, but this article is definitely of value. It is one of the newest subdistricts of Bangladesh, only announced earlier this month. Please restore it if you can. UserNumber (talk) 17:57, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

I would also like to add that there were numerous incidents regarding another disruptive user a couple of months ago (User:Slake000), and we managed to deal with it efficiently. Although he and his other sock puppet accounts are permanently blocked, some of his pages are still in existence like Sylheti dialects. Could you delete his articles too?

- Hi UN. There were a wave a pages created by a user who was evading a block, with this being one of them. I tagged them all per G5. I have no idea what Madhyanagar Upazila is (a film? a person?), but if you think there was anything worth keeping, you can get a WP:REFUND on it. Or you can re-create the page if you have info on it that meets the required notabilty for the subject area. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 14:27, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Lugnuts:, I see that makes perfect sense for you to do so. However, it was about an administrative subdivision of Bangladesh that was introduced a couple of months ago. I'll try and see if I can get it back appropriately. Also, I was involved in a similar issue with another disruptive user (User:Slake000), and we managed to deal with him efficiently. Although he and his other sock puppet accounts are permanently blocked, some of his pages are still in existence like Sylheti dialects. Could you delete his articles too? UserNumber (talk) 17:26, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm not an admin, so I can't delete the pages, but you can tag them for deletion per WP:CSD#G5 (assuming they meet the conditions). Probably easiest and quickest just to re-create the page yourself in this case. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 17:37, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Martyrs Lane

Hi, Athaenara. You've deleted Martyrs Lane (without even leaving me, the creator, a single notice) for being "Unambiguous advertising or promotion". I firmly believe you've made a mistake. The article was not promotional, and it was very similar to several other film articles that I've created in my ten years here on Wikipedia. The article was well-source, and I believe it should not be deleted. Therefore, I ask you to, please, restore the article. Thanks. Kacamata! Dimmi!!! 19:20, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
