Inherent notability for elementary schools which have been "Blue Ribbon Schools"

I am contacting you because you participated in either the AFD Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kennedy Middle School (Cupertino, California) which resulted in a redirect or the deletion review Wikipedia:Deletion review#Kennedy Middle School (Cupertino, California) which resulted in restoration of the article because it was once a "Blue Ribbon School". I have opened a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies)#US elementary schools: Inherent notability: for "Blue Ribbon Schools" as to whether the 5200 schools which have been found awarded the "Blue Ribbon" seal of approval get inherent notability, or if they each have to satisfy WP:ORG via significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. Your input is welcome.Thanks! Edison (talk) 19:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Edit request

Hello, may I (politely) request you to unlock the editing of this template? - Template:Kelly Clarkson singles. I just think that now is the time that her singles to have their own template for better navigation since she has released a lot of it after 10 years. I hope it's not a bother. Thank you very much.

Paradise Lost (2013 film)

You recently took part in a deletion discussion for this film, but given new information that the film is now on hold[1][2], would suggest a redirect to Paradise Lost#Films is more appropriate as per WP:NFF, and as per suggested by multiple editors at the deletion discussion. Would appreciate input at Talk:Paradise Lost (2013 film)#Redirect. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:14, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Mfd/Draft

Hi, I Mfd'd [User:KevinOKeeffe/ThePhora‎]. I'm wondering if you read my mfd justification. Rather than any kind of draft, the page is just another case of a user space being used as a free web host/to have an article that doesn't have to conform to WP article standards. Common Mfd candidate. I think there is no intention by the user to actually submit an article, so there is no point in tagging it as a userspace draft.

I think it's past the point of assuming good faith on the part of the user. Please have a look at the mfd justification for details and background.

Responce to article for possible deletion & discussion

I am acknowledging the message about the possible deletion of page Katie_Harwood. I will gladly follow the recommendations for improving the article. Since this is my first attempt at a real wikipedia article from scratch, I welcome your input. I will participate in any discussions and make changes as need. I just need a little time to learn my way through the process. Thanks. Tola73 07:37, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

• In that case, please comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Katie Harwood. All the abbreviations in the discussion there are linked to the guidelines/policies to which they refer, so by all means please comment there about whether and how the article complies with the guidelines/policies. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Semi protection of Junie Hoang for one month

I noticed you semi-protected this page and gave the reason as biography of living person likely to be the subject of significant attention for the first time. However, I'm not sure this is a valid reason for adding protection per WP:PP and Wikipedia:ROUGH. My understanding of semi-protect is that it is generally used in response to vandalism and should not be used as a pre-emptive measure. Now, if there had been edit-waring or vandalism, then I would agree that the protection should be added, but this is not the case. Also, one month seems a bit excessive. 87.112.182.67 (talk) 16:41, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

• I understand your concern, but we have to take into account the fact that this article is (a) about a living person (b) who is best known for suing a web site. It's in the best interest of Wikipedia not to put itself into a position where the Wikimedia Foundation could get sued, too. However, I will put a notice on the article's talk page to say that I don't object to any other admin reducing the duration of semi-protection if they don't think it is needed, or needed for less time. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Thx. Your points make sense. FYI, I've added the article to WP:RUP to get some more feedback. 87.112.182.67 (talk) 17:05, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

about UPtown High School

Hello,

I would appreciate if you could help us let us know how to remove Uptown High School from wikipedia, as this course is no longer offered at our school. (I hope I am posting this note correctly!)

Thank you,

Claudia Tait, B.A. PR / Marketing Officer

• I don't understand. What course are you referring to that is no longer being offered? (Also, it is easiest if we discuss whatever we need to on Wikipedia talk pages or user talk pages such as this one, rather than by e-mail.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

No problem, thank you for your assistance. We are currently known as "Uptown Primary" but opening a new campus from KG to Grade 12 and I am creating a new page for Uptown School, which is how the new campus will be called (not "Uptown High School"). In the new school, we will offer Middle Years Program and eventually Uptown Primary will migrate completely into the new campus. Thanks again for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UPSmktg (talk • contribs)

• Did this school ever offer high school (Grades 9 through 12) in the past or present? Or is that something that will only start in the future? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:31, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Peter Gibson

Peter gibson

Not sure why this page was deleted... And what the guidlines are that have been set for someone of interest within the entertainment industry.

Peter Gibson has been on TV, Broadway and Film as an actor and has produced, written and directed for film and television.

There were two references from variety articles written about the subject

Gibson Steps into Limelight

Fashion Label Tries on Reality Series

As well as credits included from Imdb.

Peter Gibson

Please explain how this is not sufficient?

Whateverfilms (talk) 21:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.169.30.37 (talk • contribs)

• First of all, you mean Peter Gibson, not Peter gibson; capitalization makes a difference, and Peter gibson was a different article about the same person that was deleted back in 2006 without my involvement. I was only involved in recommending the deletion of Peter Gibson in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Gibson. Looking at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317145/filmovote it appears that none of the films Gibson has been involved in was particularly prominent. There are Wikipedia notability guidelines for people in the entertainment industry; see WP:FILMMAKER and WP:ENTERTAINER. It does not appear to me that Gibson meets any of those criteria. If you want to re-create the article, I would recommend rewriting it in your userspace at User:Whateverfilms/Peter Gibson. Then, when you believe the article has been improved sufficiently so as to satisfy either WP:FILMMAKER or WP:ENTERTAINER (it only has to satisfy one, not both), you can request a deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review to have the page restored with your re-written version. Finally, if you have problems with any of these instructions, please feel free to come back here and ask. A couple of months ago I was involved in a dispute with someone after I told him to request a deletion review, he couldn't figure out how to do so, and he went into a rant on his blog about how unfriendly Wikipedia was and said that I should have done the deletion review for him. I'd like to avoid that kind of situation, so let's just say that if you need help with the deletion review, I am willing to advise you. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:43, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Problem with an article and a user

Hello, there seems to be a problem with the Breaking Bad article. I recently replaced a non-free image with a free one as this is the guideline. However Rusted AutoParts thinks that his choice would be better. I also reverted the background color of the template as this has been done with other articles such as Ringer (TV series) and 24 (TV series). I'm asking you some guidance as to how to proceed since I already warned him about vandalism, but he reverted my edit. He has also removed a tag from an image he has himself uploaded. --URunICon (talk) 18:45, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Very sneaky. I've told you numerous times why. The infobox picture desired is an intertitle from the opening credits, NOT. PROMO. ART. I told you, discuss on talk page so many times, but it seems you choose to feign deafness and place the promo art back. It's in use elsewhere, so it's not wasted. And then the audacity to say im being disruptive when im merely reverting you because you won't listen to me saying "go to talk page". As for the tag, i removed it because it was no longer orphaned. Hypocrisy, at it's finest. RAP (talk) 18:50 29 January 2012 (UTC)

In regard to the free/non-free image question, I recommend that this be discussed at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions instead. This isn't the kind of issue that I have any particular expertise with. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:07, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, thank you! --URunICon (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

page delete and help question

Hello, under a bad username which has since been changed I was working on an article The Science Fiction Show that I have been informed you deleted. I am not sure at what point you saw the article but it was deleted during the period that we lost internet due to weather issues and I am not even sure what saved or did not save, so it may have been missing much of the information. The stated reason was it did not show significance of the subject. Before I start again I would like some guidance on verifiability and significance for an article on a podcast. I have reviewed many podcast articles in Wikipedia to get my bearings, but am still not sure. The ones that my article would likely be categorized with all seem to have verifiable sources that they are also directly involved in. As for significance, what makes one podcast more significant than another. Is it years in production, # of listeners, or some other issue? I would like to produce the page again, but get some feedback before posting only to have to figure out what I did wrong a second time. KRichH (talk) 15:44, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

• I have restored the content to your userspace at User:KRichH/The Science Fiction Show to give you another chance to work on it. Regarding the criteria for notability for a podcast, see Wikipedia:Notability (web)#Criteria. I recommend especially focusing on criterion #1, "The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations" (with exceptions for reprints and trivial coverage). I recommend making the page as good as possible, with as many reliable independent sources as possible, before trying to move the page back to the mainspace of the encyclopedia. Good luck! --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:19, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your assistance. KRichH (talk) 18:11, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for cleaning up that article. It's not true that "high schools are effectively exempt from speedy deletion" but it's a moot point given your cleanup. They're exempy from A7 but that's it. Thanks again. OlYeller21^Talktome 06:57, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

• "Effectively" exempt -- not 100% exempt, just for practical purposes. I might speedily delete a high school article if it were a copyright violation, for example. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 11:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Edit request

Sorry for my late reply, but I'm not familiar with the process of Wikipedia:Deletion review in order to create a template for Kelly Clarkson's overcrowded singles (Template:Kelly Clarkson singles), can help me? Thank you very much. Woofygoodbird (talk) 05:16, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

• Hello, Here's my reason/explanation for the deletion review: Now that there are already 26 songs spanning from five albums are cluttering the main Kelly Clarkson template, making it less user-friendly, I think having a separate template for her singles would be deemed more appropriate to make it cleaner and easier for someone to navigate all the singles articles. I also don't think that it's redundant now, given that she has released enough singles to create a separate template. It's quite redundant before, but now I don't think it is.Woofygoodbird (talk) 02:00, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

• • Thank you very much. :) Woofygoodbird (talk) 03:08, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Be bold

In the case of the three user page moves listed here: there are numerous identical cases where I have: deleted the offending user page straight away, checked and deleted any othe pages created by user and blocked them instantly. I agree that admins should seek a second opinion before deleting but Mean as custard (talk · contribs) usually provides an accurate first opinion. There is no need to seek a third opinion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:37, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

• I'm very reluctant to delete a user talk page which has been used for promotional material, because then the page disappears without the user getting a warning or explanation of the problem. I prefer to move the user talk page to the user's user page (assuming that the user page doesn't already exist) and then warn the user, so that the user will have a message about the deletion on their user talk page the next time they log in. It's not a matter of needing a third opinion for deletion, it's a matter of alerting the user to the problem. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:19, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Creating biographies of living people

Hi, you deleted my page on Hannah Louise Mickleburgh because it didn't say why she was significant to be on Wikipedia. Could you help me to make an article which does say why. It's because she's in 'Sitting on Walls', by the way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tropzax (talk • contribs)

• Somebody would need to provide reliable independent sources that establish her notability. I see that Hannah Louise Mickleburgh has been restored, but the only two sources in it are (1) a birth record (which establishes that she was born, but not her accomplishments) and (2) her resume (not an independent source). No newspaper or similar articles about her have been provided yet. I'm not sure how "Sitting on Walls," which was placed on YouTube yesterday and has fewer than 20 views so far [3], helps establish her as notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:21, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

I researched, it's an Underdog British film festival entry, that's been added to YouTube quite recently (I think by herself). She's, I gather from said research, mostly a musical theatre actress and dancer who has been accepted into film acting. Oh, I don't dislike you for deleting it either, though my comment may sound that way. --Tropzax (talk) 18:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Don't worry, I try not to assume that anything is personal around here. But I don't know if the "Underdog British Film Festival" is the actual name of the film festival or if I am misinterpreting your comment, because I can't find evidence of a festival by that name. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Resolved?? Deletion request

I believe you put up the article Hannah Louise Mickleburgh for deletion; since then the notice on the top of that article has changed from just 'don't remove until the issue has been resolved' to '20th of April 2012 | Consensus =keep '. (or there about, you shoould probably take a look at the exacrt wording.) Does this mean that the notice on up for deletion can be removed? --Tropzax (talk) 17:54, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

It says exactly - page=Hannah Louise Mickleburgh|date=20 April 2012|result=keep - does the deletion notice get removed, or kept, since this part (for Administrator use) was added awhile after the notice itself. --Tropzax (talk) 17:58, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I take it you're referring to the part that says:

<!-- For administrator use only: {{Old AfD multi|page=Hannah Louise Mickleburgh|date=20 April 2012|result='''keep'''}} -->

A tag like that appears on substantially every article that is up for deletion (you can check for yourself by going to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 April 21 and clicking on "edit" for any article up for deletion). However, it only has effect once the Articles for Deletion is closed, and only if the result is "keep". The idea is that the closing administrator can copy that template onto the talk page of the article to show that the page was once nominated for deletion but wound up being kept (see Template:Old AfD multi). However, if the article gets deleted, the template is not used because the whole page is gone. As you can see at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hannah Louise Mickleburgh, there is not yet a consensus to keep the article and so the deletion notice needs to stay up. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:29, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Would you mind posting a clarification...

of your AfD rationale on the Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Seamus_(dog)_(2nd_nomination). I tried to sum it up and translate into Wikipedian-ese, but like so many AfD's the discussion seems to be getting focused on the General Notability Guideline. I don't believe that was your intent or rationale when you put this up for deletion, but I can't necessarily say what you were thinking at the time. -- Avanu (talk) 10:30, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

• I am thinking about the best way to write it, but I want to make sure that the policies/guidelines I cite will be directly relevant. WP:SOAP seems the most relevant, though. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Jugglor restored

Hi,

I prodded Jugglor, and saw that it was recently restored. Was this because an anon ip suggested they would find the content useful? is there a guideline for restoring? The article is still a basically-unsourced promo software article that will almost certainly be deleted in AfD. Dialectric (talk) 21:33, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

• Sorry for the delay in responding; I'm not sure why I didn't notice this message until today. I did restore the article at the request of an IP user based on the policy at Wikipedia:PROD#Undeletion which states, "An administrator may decide on their own to restore an article that has been deleted after a proposed deletion without having to make the request at Requests for undeletion." I did mention at Talk:Jugglor that the article "could still wind up being deleted again later." I don't have strong opinions about the article, either for or against it. But the problems with the article were limited to non-notability and promotion, as opposed to something like a WP:BLP violation which could cause problems if it were restored upon request of an IP user. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:53, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
