Phantom arcade

edit

Hi Matster, I've added an under-construction tag to Phantom arcade. Please add an assertion of importance or notability to the article as soon as possible, otherwise it is at risk of deletion without discussion (under criteria WP:SPEEDY#A7). WP:WEB is our notability guideline for websites, I hope this helps. Marasmusine (talk) 09:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Phantom arcade

edit
 

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Phantom arcade, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notability of Phantom arcade

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Phantom arcade requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. 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. TexMurphy (talk) 08:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Phantom arcade

edit
 

An editor has nominated Phantom arcade, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phantom arcade and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:44, 25 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi Matster - I think you must be confusing me with somebody else; I didn't delete your article. In fact, I specifically declined to do so under the speedy deletion criteria, to allow you to bring it up to Wikipedia's standards. Instead the article was deleted after a community discussion, which is here. All participants in that discussion supported the article's deletion, so it was deleted. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 16:37, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Whether it was a hoax or not, in order to have a Wikipedia article it needed to demonstrate coverage in reliable, third party sources, which it did not. Has it been covered in any such sources? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
One request: would you consider removing the suggestion from your userpage that I am an "out of control admin"? I ask because your rationale for saying this seems to be that you're upset about your page being deleted, but I didn't delete your page (User:Bongwarrior did, but only after the community's consensus came down in favour of doing so). If you insist on leaving it up, could you clarify for me exactly what is "out of control" about me, so that I can consider your criticisms? Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
Absolutely; misunderstandings happen. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Master9090, I would suggest that you look at the articles for deletion process and see how it works. The reason I am suggesting this is that no one person or vote determines what should be deleted. It is based on what the consensus of those commenting on the nomination is.

You also asked me to restore the page above. I cannot do that. It actually was correct for me to suggest that this article might be a hoax. On Wikipedia, the burden of proof is on the person wanting to keep an article. Since you provided no independent sources, the only assumption that I could make was that it was, at best, original research or, at worst, a hoax. See WP:PROVEIT for the details on that. If there are enough independent sources, then you could easily add the article again. But, unless those sources exist, it will likely get deleted again. And no offense intended, without independent sources to establish notability, I would argue for deletion again.

If you are going to recreate the page, I would suggest reviewing the pages on crystal balling, web page notability and advertising. I am not saying that the page would be one of these, but reviewing them could help you write the page in such a way that it would not get deleted. Also, if you want to work on it in a section where it won't be deleted while you are testing it, you could start out in a sandbox page.

BTW- if any part of the item above sounds rude, I do apologize. I just got home from work and am a bit tired. Slavlin (talk) 01:02, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, the recent edit you made to Mario Kart Wii has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

  This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you show that you can't edit constructively by vandalizing Wikipedia again (like you did at Wikipedia and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2), you will be blocked from editing.

OOOH! I lol'd at that post, it sounded like you was angry.

Ok then.

Request reason:

My account has not been compromised - Blueboy96 has made this up just to ban me from wikipedia. Unblock me please.

Decline reason:

Request reason:

The previous reason for declining was extremely poor 'Sorry' does not explain this rubbish.

Decline reason:

Allow me to elaborate. Your unblock request did not address Blueboy96's block reason (apparent compromise) and did not address your behavior. For future requests, address your behavior instead of blaming others (". . .made this up just to ban me"). TNXMan 16:01, 8 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
