[edit] Edit summary

Just a friendly reminder to use an edit summary when proposing deletion for an article. Edit summary usage is always good, but it is especially important that edit summaries are used when proposing deletion. The reason for this is that articles proposed for deletion that later have the {{prod}} tag removed should not be proposed for deletion again, but rather sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The only easy way to check if an article was previously proposed for deletion is to look at the edit history and the edit summaries people have left before. Thanks! Oo7565 17:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Schonemann

Up to 10/4/05 Schonemann has had a cumulative citation record of 1,161 citations in the Web of Science, with the bulk of them to two technical papers on Orthogonal Procrustes (299, his thesis topic) and Rigid Motion (176) respectively. Both papers are still cited regularly not just in psychology, but also in computer science, engineering, medicine etc.

Dear anonymous,

I think this info does not belong on my talk page, but on the talk page of the Schonemann article. I see that you made two edits, changing "my thesis subject" into "his thesis subject". Are you Schonemann? If so, you should not edit your own bio. I will not communicate with you again as long as you stay hidden behind an anonymous IP. Please refrain from putting more messages on my talk page.

--Crusio 17:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not Peter Schonemann, and those were editing errors. I can not understand how people continue assume these things, so readily. I have had correspondence with Peter in the past; and I believe he is a great person. Still, he is well over the age of most Wikipedians and I am sure he would find the quality of the information on this website deplorable...

I believe your criticism in the Schonemann talk page is highly biased and misleading. I only wanted a direct response:

Up to 10/4/05 Schonemann has had a cumulative citation record of 1,161 citations in the Web of Science, with the bulk of them to two technical papers on Orthogonal Procrustes(1965) (Cited: 299, his thesis topic) and Rigid Motion (1970) (cited: 176), respectively. Both papers are still cited regularly not just in psychology, but also in computer science, engineering, medicine etc. Further, using Google Scholar Peter Schonemann receives 313 hits; although I note your criticism of Google Scholar, and agree --Charles669 18:31, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] afc

If this Porthos (Star Trek) deserves an article ... I do think the 'bar' for notability is much higher in some areas (eg academia) than others, for reasons which I have not grasped. Given an academic in Who's Who + some independent info I'd probably support an article. -- roundhouse0 12:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, Porthos (Star Trek) IS being nominated for deletion.... And the fact that there are unnecessary articles does not justify in my eyes to add even more. And without false modesty, I guess actually more people would know Porthos than myself.... I am not saying that this animal is more important than I am (I certainly don't think so), but it is probably more notable... --Crusio 12:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the deletion is part of a vendetta (see this). I'm sure you are much more notable than a fictional canine. Is Wikipedia short of room? I know for instance that if I spend some time writing an article on an obscure footballer (nowhere near Who's Who) that there is no chance of afd, but doing the same for an academic or business person in Who's Who might well be a waste of time (writing it and then defending it via endless talk pages, afds etc). Eg Fabian Delph, picked at random, is presumably safe, along with fictional canines and Big Brother contestants, per WP:this&that. -- roundhouse0 14:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I think I am much more important than a fictional canine, but unfortunately not more notable. That's the whole difference: Thousands of people know Porthos, a couple of dozen know me.... It's a fact of life that in our society fictional dogs and obscure sporters get much more attention than scientists. I don't like that and obviously you don't either, but there's not much we can do about that. WP:BIO requires that "the person has been the subject of published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." So Who's Who is not an acceptable source, because whether self-nominated or not, all info in it is supplied by the subject, so it is not independent.... --Crusio 22:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 70.68.179.142 & Charles669

I have an opinion about who their real identity is, but I don't want to officially state it. I have reported 70.68.179.142 for vandalism, but I don't see on the Talk page that it has been blocked. Ward3001 01:15, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kurdistan

Hi! Any explanation for your rv's? I discussed my edits at the talk page, so Id like to know whats the problem? Andranikpasha 16:07, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Craig Paterson, bioethicist is rather more amusing than most AfDs I come across. Thanks for the support :-) Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 20:59, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD, VfD and other cryptic machine-talk

Hallo Crusio! Du hast mir auf meiner Diskussionsseite zwei unpersönliche Textbausteine als Hinweis auf die Löschung des Artikels List of speakers at Wizards of OS hinkopiert. Danke für den Hinweis, die Löschung ist in Ordnung, aber ein "I just wanted to inform you that the article List of speakers at Wizards of OS is discussed to be deleted" hätte es auch getan - aufgrund der Textbausteine, die sich niemand durchliest, hat man eher den Eindruck, Wikipedia wird von gehirnlosen Automaten verwaltet, auch wenn die Idention sicherlich nicht so ist. Ansonsten frohes Schaffen noch! -- Nichtich 23:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] journals

for the article on a journal, could you enter whatever , might shows importance, like where it is indexed. We've been experimenting listing the 2 or 3 most cited articles as well--it will help when the title is still new. And write out the name of the editor in chief and the institution and the impact factor in the text as well as the infobox, and link them. And you might as well say something about COI on the talk page. I will edit it after you, just to check and to show I've looked at it. DGG (talk) 14:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] High schools

There is no consensus on whether all high schools are intrinsically to be considered notable at WP, but certainly some people think so, and therefore all articles on secondary schools are always contested. There is thus no point in putting prod tags on them, for this is only for uncontroversial deletions. You need to go directly to AfD, where there will always be an argument. DGG (talk) 04:34, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Helion-Prime

Hello Crusio. I made changes on our company article on wikipedia. And I think now article is OK. Could you kindly check it and let me know if I miss somthing. thank you. 194.158.198.156 —Preceding comment was added at 16:15, 2 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Talk:Nicolas Gikkas

I think I can explain the bizarre expansion of the quotes. If you look in my comment, above yours, I wrote "the citations are a list of links, which is discouraged under WP:NOT." thinking this would encourage her to write commentary using those articles as support. Apparently she mis-interpreted it to mean expand the list. Since your the AfD nom, I'll leave it up to you to decide if I should fix my mistake or you should? I'll watch here Mbisanz (talk) 00:30, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

This is apparently a newbie, so we should try to be kind... Go ahead, your above comment sounds good to me. It's 1:30 am here so I am off to bed... --Crusio (talk) 00:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Done, I hope you approve. Mbisanz (talk) 00:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Allseas

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Allseas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Allseas.

[edit] Muhammad Shahrur

Could you please explain why you tagged this article? The article uses Wikipedia format, quotes its sources, and I believe the sources make a case that the scholar in question is notable.--Mschiffler (talk) 18:46, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message acknowledging notability. I have now wikified the article's structure. Concerning the sources, please note that only one of them could be considered a blog-type of source, while the others (context magazine and the reader by Mehran Kamrava) are academic publications. I hope that the article will be further improved by adding more sources, just like any other article on Wikipedia. However, the tags give the impression that some statements are unsourced or that the sources are not trustworthy, which is not the case.--Mschiffler (talk) 15:48, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Metasemiotics

I posted an entry to wikipedia on metasemiotics, which has been deleted as 'nonsense'.

The short article is based on published work in Theory and Psychology (2005), and the Journal of Knowledge Management (2006 and 2008 forthcoming). Perhaps you would like to let the editors of these rather prestigious journals know that the topic is has been deleted as 'nonsense' from Wikipedia. They would surely appreciate your opinion - not! --Dustcube (talk)

[edit] Re:M S Khan AfD

I did not remove Afd tag from M S Khan. User:Librarianpmolib did this([2], [3]). I assume he / she may not know policy, though he / she diligently contributed to this article. Please check properly before posting such type of message on user talk page. Thank you--NAHID 14:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About Pirani Amina Begum article

About Pirani Amina Begum article deletion - According to a dictionary, "notable" can refer to one of two general concepts:

"Notable" can mean "worthy of note". A "note" is a written record, so notable means "worthy of written records".

"Notable can refer to the concept of being important, significant, famous, unique, etc.

Of these two definitions, only the first is in line with Wikipedia policy and practice.
