Derek Powazek
Spotted at User:DoriSmith/ArticleIdeas#People. Deletion was 6 years ago. May be notable according to [1], [2], [3]. If this is undeleted, I should be able to add these refs although know nothing about the person and don't expect to do a lot else. -Trevj (talk) 11:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Not done Normally I wouldn't have any problem restoring an article deleted so long ago as the arguments in that "votes for deletion" discussion were almost entirely based on personal opinion (ie "vanity") and the nomination was started by an editor later blocked as a "troll". However, the subject is a living person and the article had no sources and was not written from a neutral point of view. The best thing to do is to allow a neutral editor to write a new sourced article. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for looking into this. But do your comments preclude incubation of the deleted article to WP:Article Incubator/Derek Powazek, in order to save some work? I would seek sources, add material to counter bias per WP:NPOV and not include any unsourced material, per WP:BLP. Is the content completely unsuitable for this purpose? Thanks. --Trevj (talk) 09:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

John Ratey MD
John Ratey · ( talk | logs | history | links | watch ) · [revisions] Please reinstate the biography page for John Joseph Ratey M.D.
Dr. Ratey has touched millions of lives through his writing, teaching and clinical work and should have his full profile reinstated in Wikipedia. Dr. Ratey is one of the most extraordinary human beings you will meet, he is known around the world, an invaluable resource and advocate promoting the health, well being and enabling individuals to reach their full potential. You have many books and articles that Dr. Ratey has written in Wikipedia, it makes no sense to delete the biography of such an important clinician and human being. Please reinstate the page immediately.
John J Ratey, MD, is an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Research Synthesizer, Speaker, and Author, as well a Clinical Psychiatrist maintaining a private practice in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He has lectured and published 60 peer reviewed articles on the topics of Aggression, Autism, ADHD, and other issues in neuropsychiatry.
Dr. Ratey has authored A User¹s Guide to the Brain(2000) and co-authored Shadow Syndromes(1997) with Catherine Johnson, PhD. From 1994 to 2005 he co-authored Driven to Distraction(1994), Answers to Distraction (1995) and Delivered from Distraction (2005) with Edward Hallowell, MD, all published by Pantheon/Random House. Additionally, he has edited several books including The Neuropsychiatry of Personality Disorders (1994), published by Blackwell Scientific.
Most recently, Dr Ratey has penned, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain published by Little Brown. In Spark, Dr. Ratey guides the reader to an understanding of neurobiology and inspires the reader to reach for their potential, and embrace exercise that is crucial for the brain and body to operate at peak performance. Spark is fueling a movement to re-engineer school practices and medical recommendations to establish curriculum, lifestyles and corporate practices based on scientific principles. Providing the scientific foundation and research data, Dr Ratey has been drafted into the groundswell of those whose mission it is to revitalize schools, combat the obesity crisis, stave off the encroaching epidemic of Sedentarism, by returning to evolutionary principles of physical exercise and proper diet thereby combating syndrome X, the underlying causation of much chronic disease.
"Dr. Ratey's work is going to save physical education, by reforming it. Exercise and the youth of this generation will be the vanguard that will lead the nation back to health." Phil Lawler, Architect of the Naperville PE Project.
Each year since 1995, Dr. Ratey has been selected by his peers as one of the Best Doctors in America. In his dedication to the changing the world, Dr. Ratey has founded The Ratey Institute whose mission is to broadcast life changing science and establish the best practice policies first in our school and then other organizations to reclaim human health
Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, released in 2008, is the culmination of years of experience with the brain body connection, new research data, and the synthesis of biological sciences. Spark is revolutionizing how we see the human species. A call to return to our evolutionary roots; to get in sync with our metabolic design honed through eons of survival to optimize mental and physical health. Dr. Ratey is the spark that will set your old paradigms on fire, which will clear your mind to see a new vision for mankind, and inflame a passion of commitment to create a healthy future for our posterity.

Derry was in charge of the Oracle's product development for many years, and is responsible for innovations that are the heart of much of today's online industries. Thanks in no small part to Derry's contributions, Oracle has thrived in the business world to the point of now owning Java, another core technology of the Internet. I think Derry's insights and dedication to the high-tech industry merits at least these two small paragraphs in Wikipedia -- which are likely stored (or will someday be stored) in an Oracle database. -Ahall613 (talk) 12:49, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

National Atheist Party
Article was originally deleted due ti its lack of external sources so more external links were added to show credibility. The party is very recent and has achieved 527 status necessary for the registration process. How can an entity achieve recognition if you erase the entry ? The party held its first national convention and has more than 5,000 members. What criteria do you need in order to keep the page up ? I also find Bella the Ball's use of religious imagery "strike this one with a bolt of lightning" disturbingly reminiscent of religious bias when dealing with n atheist page. Her use of irony "come back when you elect a candidate" also very disturbing as if notability was only a result of winning an election.

A New Type of VTOL Aircraft
Please help me to understand why this short article was deleted.
Although it is a new idea, it has some background:
1) I made a presentation of this new aircraft concept to the January 2010 meeting of the American Helicopter society in San Francisco. Unfortunately, proceedings are not published.
2) A patent was been applied for on this new aircraft concept two years ago, but now days patent applications take a long time to produce results; I have not yet gotten the first response back from the patent office.
3) A toy used to exist which consisted of a stick with a propeller at each end and a rubber band between the propellers to turn the propellers in opposite directions. When the rubber band was wound up and the toy was released it flew at high speed. In a sense I could say that there have been many thousands of prototypes made.
So this is not an unknown or irrational concept.
This was my second submission of the same article. I tried to make the article more like reporting than soap-boxing. Did I fail in this effort? If so, how could I have said things to make them sound more objective?
Yes, the article I submitted was quite short. I could work to make it much longer if that is the main problem. Would that help?
I saw something about too many caps in the title. I thought that "VTOL" was well understood by most people as meaning "Vertical Take Off and Landing". Was I mistaken? Would any of the phrases below be better titles? If not, please make some suggestions.
a) The Lawrence Tiltplane
b) The Tiltplane
c) A New Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft

One of Wikipedia's fundamental policies is Wikipedia:No original research, which includes: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to premiere such a discovery."

- Article moved to the incubator as it was facing a G11 deletion as many of these do. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 16:35, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- The reason for deletion at the previous AfD was that the project had not started filming and so failed WP:NFF; that was over a year ago, but I do not see in the references for this new article any reliable source confirming that filming has started - all the accessible references are dated July, 2010, and IMDb says only that the project is in development. Also I note this edit summary saying "looks like the Michael Bay project is dead." I will ask the article author if he has any up to date sources. JohnCD (talk) 17:15, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
David Wrone
David Wrone is cited by four articles, one article even dedicates a paragraph to him:
(1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UWSP_Albertson_Center_for_Learning_Resources
(2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Kennedy_assassination_conspiracy_theories
- Section: Other published theories
- David Wrone's The Zapruder Film (2003) concludes that the shot that killed JFK came from in front of the limousine, and that JFK's throat and back wounds were caused by an in-and-through shot originating from the grassy knoll. Three shots were fired from three different angles, none of them from Lee Harvey Oswald's window at the Texas School Book Depository. Wrone is a professor of history (emeritus) at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. ISBN 0-7006-1291-2.
(3) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Posner
(4) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Sagatelyan
So I think an article on David Wrone - which I entered to Wikipedia - would be relevant and interesting for readers, especially for people interested in one (of only two!) historians who broke The Silence of the Historians (David W. Mantik, 2000) about the JFK assassinations.
The dates about him I had gotten from himself by e-mail after I asked him for that. This, I think, should not be a reason to delete the article. Please restore the article. ~~ -Thalimed (talk) 20:16, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Done, but please read the Wikipedia:Verifiability policy:
"any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source... The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
- Articles about living persons are automatically deleted after ten days unless referenced. I have restored this, and reset the timer, so that you have ten days to provide references. I'm afraid information "gotten from himself by e-mail" is not good enough: it must already have been published in a reliable source. JohnCD (talk) 22:07, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you JohnDC for restoring the article. I entered the reference "Spartacus Schoolnet: David Wrone", where the essential parts of the information can be found. I found it there myself and then contacted David Wrone for some more information. Will that be OK? Thalimed (talk) 11:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- P.S. (Meanwhile I sent my e-mail correspondence with David Wrone to Spartacus Schoolnet, so their article about David Wrone will soon be more complete, I think.) Thalimed (talk) 11:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- That is enough, just, to remove the BLPprod notice, and I have taken it off; but if Spartacus Schoolnet simply publish what you send them they cannot be considered a reliable source for Wikipedia's purposes, which implies some degree of editorial control and fact-checking. What is really needed is someone independent of Wrone writing about him. JohnCD (talk) 21:59, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- P.S. (Meanwhile I sent my e-mail correspondence with David Wrone to Spartacus Schoolnet, so their article about David Wrone will soon be more complete, I think.) Thalimed (talk) 11:01, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, no, Spartacus Schoolnet will not simply publish what I sent them, that's not what they do. - I added references of two independent well-known JFK researchers (one of them even a historian). I hope this will suffice for the moment, won't it? --Thalimed (talk) 22:32, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club
reasoning -Kimemia Maina (talk) 16:36, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
I believe the criteria by which this article was declared 'not notable' are plainly scandalous. If being one of the oldest institutions in Kenyan cricket and running, by a country mile, the most productive youth set up in Kenyan cricket doesn't merit notability by Wikipedia then arguably there is not a single facet of Kenyan cricket that is notable enough to have a wikipedia article.
- Not done - As announced at the top of the page, this process is only for articles that were deleted uncontroversially and has no applicability to articles deleted after any deletion discussion. Since the article you are here about was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kenya Kongonis Cricket Club, it cannot be undeleted through this process. Nevertheless, if you believe that the consensus found at the discussion was in error, or that significant new information has come to light since the deletion, you may contact the administrator who closed the discussion, user TParis (talk · contribs). After you do so, if your concerns are not addressed and you still seek undeletion, a request may be made at deletion review. January (talk) 17:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I am requesting the undeletion of my page Chris 'TEK' O'Ryan. I have read WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS and WP:BIO and this article should be undeleted for the following reasons:
He is a 2008 grammy winner with an actual statue - not just certificate of contribution to a grammy winning album. He was nominated again in 2010 in the Album of the year category. He is at the top of his field and is regularly requested as a studio engineer by the the biggest artists in the world including Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Mary J. Blige and Jennifer Lopez. He is endorsed by two of the biggest music-industry software companies (Waves and Celemony: see interviews). In 2011 he was shown on international television recording contestants in the recording studio on American Idol season 10.

- Not done and will not be done Nothing encyclopedic about the company, or the entry. This is not a business directroy (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:37, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
BWilkins what separates a company or persons' accomplishments and achievements form 'puffery'? In a newly advancing industry such as nightlife there are some significant milestones that are significant such as the unique organization and services that the company in question represents. I assume that you care less, but there is a difference from the company in the article than other 'nightlife management groups'. In fact it's the only concise nightlife group in the US. Which is the nightlife industry is significant and deems encyclopedic and important to those within the industry. Things such as 'the first' of it's kind or developments within a certain industry should have no issues. I understand and respect that there is much exploitation and abuse as I have read it myself. And it is only by discussion like these and by members of the Wiki community, which I am new to, can police and monitor misuse. That being said, I will continue to argue this point and share the significance of the company's development and it's significance to the nightclub and bar and nightlife industry. Although I do not compare this company to the likes of Dupont, but when a company or individual develops or revolutionizes a product or an industry I feel that is significant. Having the opportunity to edit the Monsoon Group article and be more direct and pointing out the significance and feats may to some be puffery or deemed as self promotional or promotional in general. From my understanding this is a discussion and I respect your point of view, but I also must defend my article and future ones to come. I am new and novice, at best, and will continue to contribute with these subjects amongst others. My point is that when something is new or unfamiliar to you it is not to be discounted to your opinion, yes I understand that new bands and businesses are here for the exact reasons that you accuse my article of being, but it is the significance that the business has to the industry and the fact it is heavily involved in many notable aspects within the industry is why it is encyclopedic. If I were writing about a new engine that had a unique technology or system, i may not understand the significance, but I would read into the new business as promotional etc. Wiki BioInfo (talk) 22:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
- That's not the issue here. An article could be about something notable, and if it were written like a commercial admins would *still* delete it as promotional. The problem isn't that it's new, it's the tone in which the article was written (which is why, just going by whatever I can deduce from the logs as I am not an admin, I pointed you at the NPOV policies).
- To be on Wikipedia (which is, after all, an encyclopedia), an article has to fulfill three main criteria:
- Is the subject demonstrably notable through reliable sources?
- Is the article written from an unbiased viewpoint?
- Does the article report what the sources say?
- By default, most G11 candidates I have seen fail all three (They only reference their own website, include a fair amount of puffery, and they're written in prose that induces diabetes on sight).
- Please note that a G11 deletion does not mean the article is forbidden from appearing on Wikipedia. All it means is that the article needs to be completely rewritten to comply with Wikipedia policies, and that can easily be done by going through WP:Articles for creation and asking for help on IRC ( #wikipedia-en-help on freenode; see WP:IRC for more information). —Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 22:22, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
