Speedy deletion nomination of Bray Ketchum?

Hi,

I'm not sure why you nominated the Bray Ketchum page for speedy deletion? The criteria state "When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, 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". The original page was deleted because it failed to provide any independent significant coverage, but I had added articles from 5-7 different sources specifically to address that problem.

Cheers

Review about the topic Vishnu Sarma (Cinematographer ) which was recently sent to draft by you

Hey brother, Hope you're doing good, Just wanted to ask you your reviews about my article here about a person, I had made sure that it is cited properly and necessary referrals are provided, I would be grateful if you could help me out with this. Thank you in advance.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Vishnu_Sarma_(Cinematographer_)

I am not your brother however you need to follow instructions I have just given you on your talk page. Also please sign your edits. Praxidicae (talk) 20:28, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxi: Draft:Vishnu Sarma (Cinematographer ) is a duplicate and recreation of Draft:Vishnu Sarma. I don't see any comments from you, just the AfC tag. Do you want me to do a history merge, or is the redirect to the pre-existing draft okay? —C.Fred (talk) 20:37, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I should've noticed that before when they were trying to move war/hijack their way into Vishnu Sharma. I'm not sure what's better though...maybe a merge? Praxidicae (talk) 20:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merged. —C.Fred (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just read the instructions and this was a really strong statement " The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic" and I wanted to state that I'm are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, I'm really sorry if you felt so, my edits to the article was made pure on the time I spent studying about the person and his professionKjsarat (talk) 20:45, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Explain how you're the copyright holder of this photo, then. Praxidicae (talk) 20:46, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

because I clicked it and it's my picture?Kjsarat (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So you have no connection whatsoever to this person yet got this professional up close photo? Praxidicae (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me butting in on this, but I also notice that photo had an OTRS ticket with evidence of rights. Would that have any information that would clarify when and how the picture was taken? —C.Fred (talk) 20:54, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And how about this one? Praxidicae (talk) 20:51, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It does make one wonder how a band would let a random fan onstage and then use the fan's picture for a their Facebook cover picture.[1] —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Afaict, the tickets look "legit" based on what we require to verify (which is mostly just assuming good faith) but my question about how they came to be in a position to take several professional photos of several subjects they've been writing about still stands...Praxidicae (talk) 20:57, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, it raises two possibilities. (1) There is a professional relationship with the subjects they are denying. (2) The images are copyright violations and should be deleted. —C.Fred (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

okay can I make it clear to you guys that I am not directly or indirectly getting compensated for whatever my article is about?Kjsarat (talk) 21:01, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kjsarat are you saying you have absolutely no connection to any of the subjects you've photographed or edited? If so, can you explain the last photo I linked? Praxidicae (talk) 21:02, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say I have no connection to them, I said I am not directly or indirectly getting compensatedKjsarat (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Then you didn't bother to read the warning either. So you'll still need to disclose. Praxidicae (talk) 21:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And I would still like you to address the question about the Masala Coffee photo. How did you get access to the stage to take the photo? And how did you allow the photo to be used on their Facebook page? —C.Fred (talk) 21:06, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies to Praxidicae for posting uninvited on their talk page, but C.Fred, this edit might answer your question. Richard3120 (talk) 14:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)Just as a heads up to all involved parties, I have rejected this draft on the grounds of notability and as such it will not be considered further. If this is moved to mainspace again, then I will be nominating the page for WP:AFD Sulfurboy (talk) 14:50, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of speedy deletion tags by anonymous IP

hi,

The deletion tag for the article Arjyou has again removed by an anonymous IP. Please look into it. Outlander07 08:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Outlander07 (talk • contribs)

Marcia Pally

I'm not sure what you would consider more reliable than the New York Birth Records, or what you would consider reliable. The Library of Congress gives the subject's year of birth as 1951 (http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n92052992.html).

Ancestry is the only available on-line source that gives access to the actual birth record, and it can be accessed for free by the pubic through the New York Public Libarary website.

The file reflects the record itself [2], but unfortunately, while the file can be downloaded, I do not believe it is possible to link to the actual birth record or upload it to Wikipedia.

I'd appreciate your advice on the matter of what you would consider a reliable source. I would again emphasize that there does not appear to be a policy requiring reliable sources for birth dates, and that many if not most entires do not give a source for the date of birth of the subject.

Thank you. PaulKovnick (talk) 01:03, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draft article

Hi Praxidicae, you just put my article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mathematical_correspondence into a draft, i just noticed i didn´t added the references (i might lose my head someday). The thing is, i can add them right now, and they will be fine since it is a translation from an article whose references are ok, but i cannot wait for the draft review because this articles are part of a university subject side activities and the deadline ends tomorrow night, so can i add the references and just remove the draft tag?

Best regards, Antonio.

No, as it's original research. Praxidicae (talk) 15:25, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I dont get you, what do you mean? AntonioC Seguro (talk) 20:44, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

speedy deletion of new page

Hi, you deleted the We_Talk_Sound page I created, It seems to be a fairly renowned group in Lagos, If any portion of it seems promotional, kindly assist with removing that part. Or just explain, I'll remove the portion. Surelaarrgh (talk) 16:13, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Surelaarrgh[reply]

True: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Not often I'm confused but there does seem to be an IMDB page on this "film". The creator needs to stop removing the speedy deletion tags but unsure if it's a hoax per se. Any ideas? Glen 12:02, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's an absolute hoax, the description there is gibberish and anyone can create an imdb page. It's why we don't allow it as a source...Praxidicae (talk) 12:04, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

vandalism and personal threats

Hello! I respect your instructions, But HinduKhtrana is threatening me in diffrent wiki-programs. once you check his contributions list you'll easily find that he is vandalising some special ethnicity. if you are a fair, than you have to acknowledge my request. --Indrayogya (talk) 14:09, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indefinite block on enwiki?

Hi, Prax. It looks to me like Indrayogya ought most likely to be indeffed on enwiki as well as the other wikis mentioned here. What do you think? Or does the line at the top by Tks4Fish, which is later by a couple of hours than Yunshui's block, mean that they already are indeffed here as well? Bishonen | tålk 08:27, 28 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

I'm pretty sure the global lock should prevent them editing even after the block expires here, but just to be tidy I have converted it to an indef on en-wiki as well. Yunshui ^雲 _水 09:10, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Yunshui. Bishonen | tålk 09:19, 28 May 2020 (UTC).[reply]

global locks prevent them from logging in anywhere, so yep! There were a lot of xwiki issues to say the least. Praxidicae (talk) 10:53, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Fthobe

Hi Prax, to my surprise today I received a notice from you that I am suspected of commercial activities on Wikipedia. Just a short recap: I tried to escape quarantine boredom by adding an article of a pianist (so far as I can remember, my first new new article). In the past years i have corrected plenty of typos on the italian, german and english version and I£d like to understand why the creation of an article a musician that has had national tv coverage in japan and is recognized in italy ( I admit, he's not justin bieber), justifies a warning message like that. Since i have started this article this morning I have been showered with warnings and community guidelines that are not really well documented for newbies like me, but I tried. Added citiations and everything and instead of shooting accusations in the dark, it would be really cool if you help me setting up my first article. Just to make also that clear: I am active in VC fund investing in social / ecological impact startups, an activity that is hard to conceal because a quick search on google makes that clear, but as soon as I enter the music business, I will make sure to approy flag my activities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fthobe (talk • contribs) 15:52, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fthobe could you please explain how you are the copyright holder of this image? Praxidicae (talk) 15:53, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae In fact, I am not, I think I screwed up the metadata. I believe it£s from Marco Brescia. I updated the information.

That isn't even the issue, Fthobe you cannot upload photos as your own work unless they your own work or they are appropriately licensed for free use. Praxidicae (talk) 16:15, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Praxidicae Sorry, giving me ownership of the photo was an honest mistake and I thought it qualifies under Fair Use, now that you pointed me to it I read the guidelines. I removed the image and will try to find a different one. Is there anything else not ok with the article? In addition, putting my name under Fthobe (talk) 16:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am sorry to say but the book published is not a self-published one. The book is published by Authorspress India.

Regarding Deletion Nomination

Recently you placed a deletion nomination on the page MortaL - Naman Mathur stating it for promotion. I respect your opinion on it since there may be a few misunderstanding with the Language and pattern of words used. The reason for creating of that Article was due to the subject was Among the top lists searched on Google in India, yet it lacked a wikipedia page on which the Search users could rely on. So I made it in order to make sure the users would rely on an verified Source. The subject with 5 million YouTube Followers is certainly not an insignificant person. SkyVAC (talk) 14:58, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's no misunderstanding, it's straight up promo. Praxidicae (talk) 14:59, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if you think it as a promo, but can you please remove the material where it seems promo? The subject is an Influencer as well as an eSport players with Significant coverage in news and also the Page has over 3000+ visits in past 5 days. I sincerely request you to remove the deletion nomination. Also the person mentioned is luminary enough that doesn't need promotion from a research website.
