Articles for deletion nomination of Anthony Davis (basketball)

I have nominated Anthony Davis (basketball), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthony Davis (basketball). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. --moreno oso (talk) 02:57, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Anthony Davis (basketball)

Re your message: Another editor commented in the AfD and I think their comments are correct in that the general notability guideline takes precedence. As for suggestions on keeping the article, the first and most important thing to do is find as many additional sources as you can about him. I know there are already several sources included, but a couple more may be helpful, especially regarding the lawsuit. I suspect that there are a few more out there for the lawsuit, but if you can find others about him that's good, too. Try to stick with mainstream news sources (like ESPN and Chicago Tribune) instead of lesser known ones (like The Big Lead). If you spread the citations from around from multiple sources, that's good, too. As for the AfD itself, try not to argue with editors or point out other articles that exist (that isn't valid reason to keep an article). Instead, after adding in some additional sources, add in a comment that you have added in an additional 2/3/4/... sources. Keep your comments short and to the point. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: No, it is too early for the AfD to close. AfDs are open for seven days or sometimes longer. They are only closed early if there is an overwhelmingly clear consensus or some other procedural issue. There isn't an overwhelmingly clear consensus here. It not being commented on for a few days is not unusual for AfDs. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Derrick Favors

Re your message: I left them a warning and reverted the latest edits. Reports of vandalism go to WP:AIV, but the editors in question must be sufficiently warned before any admin action is taken. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 17:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Manny Machado

A tag has been placed on Manny Machado, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --moreno oso (talk) 05:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Manny Machado

Re your message: I see that the AfD was closed as a close call delete. As with the other articles you have asked me about, it's all about sources. The more sources and the wider the coverage, the better (there's a couple of them in the middle of the AfD that may be helpful). In this particular case, while I could weigh in one way or another on the CSD, it is probably not a good idea for me to do so since you asked for my assistance. If the reviewing admin decides that the CSD is valid and deletes the article, you can either ask that admin for clarification on what they think would fix the issues brought up in the AfD closure. Or you can request a deletion review on the article. If the CSD is declined, well, then there really isn't a problem anymore. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:57, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Re your message: You need check in with User:Graeme Bartlett before requesting a deletion review since he did the CSD deletion. Ask him to review the article again, reconsider the deletion, and/or provide some feedback to you about it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:26, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

As he has now signed with the Orioles, it seems only a matter of time before he meets notability guidelines. I could email you a copy to await that time. Perhaps we can get it moved to your user space. Dlohcierekim 16:29, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

See User:Icealien33/Manny Machado. Improve it there till the notability article is resolved. I should think that will be after he's played. See WP:MLB/N. Dlohcierekim 16:43, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Supreme Ruler Cold War

Re your message: It was fine, though you might want to note that the notability of the game isn't established and WP:CRYSTAL may apply. Or you can leave the proposed deletion as is, see how it goes, and then pursue an AfD if necessary. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:22, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
