G1 won't apply to Non-english content such as you did incorrectly. KGirlTrucker81 ^{talk what I'm been doing} 12:45, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

New England Council

In a recent deletion binge, you incorrectly marked New England Council as a candidate for speedy deletion based on CSD A7. The New England Council is the oldest regional business and interest association in the United States and has been operating for nearly a century; therefore, it is by definition not only significant, but actually exceeds Wikipedia's (much higher) notability standards on that account alone.

I have already explained my reasons for contesting your proposal on the article's talk page, but you could save everybody time by simply removing the template and withdrawing your suggestion that the article be deleted. --TimothyDexter (talk) 22:06, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• @TimothyDexter: Deletion binge? I was simply scanning through the new pages that I thought deserved such tags... I was not expecting this coming from an 'experienced user' (well actually I was, just not the sheer rudeness - I deserved it? Not really. No one deserves rudeness. If I'm in the wrong point it out to me - I'm not scared to apologise). I checked Google News and there was nothing (although it might be just that I'm in the UK). In my opinion, it's fantastic that the speedy was declined - that's what we're doing here, expanding the lovely encyclopedia, one more article means that someone will gain some more knowledge. And yes, I was wrong, I apologise - you have helped to enforce onto me the standards (and I also pissed you off/annoyed you/attempted to delete your hard work).

• If my characterization of your activity as a "deletion binge" has offended you, then I do apologize; however, I also think that new pages probably deserve more than a scan and a cursory Google search before being marked as candidates for speedy deletion. Otherwise, you're liable to erase or at the very least make more difficult the work of people who are, after all, volunteering their own personal (and valuable) free time to contribute to this project. Personally, I try to take such things into consideration before removing any content, let alone marking an entire page as a candidate for deletion with very minimal review. --TimothyDexter (talk) 22:38, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• @TimothyDexter: Well there is no need for an apology. It's pretty clear I was in the wrong here. I should, and was the one apologizing. The 'deletion binge' I let slide above with a joke, but calling my editing a 'nuisance' is a low blow man. (I think it's pretty clear that I'm not offended at all). If I had to throw in my two cents it would be that I don't often write anything on wikipedia with an agenda or any tone, just present the facts and let the system deal with it. To be honest, I'm pretty sure my first ever article was PRODed or CSD'd in 2014... Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 22:47, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

• Fair enough, and apologies once again (even if it's not necessary) for letting my frustration get the best of me. --TimothyDexter (talk) 22:51, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

improper BLP PROD

Hello, regarding the article Francesco Mariotti, you tagged it as BLPprod. The article does have a list of sources, but no inline citations. Please always look down through the entire article before assuming there are no sources. Thank you. Antonioatrylia (talk) 09:17, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Antonioatrylia:Hi, thanks for pointing this out to me. I still have an issue with Wikipedia:Notability but if the Germans are fine with it, why should I complain. Please look at the de.wiki version of this page to add more references / wiki commons material. Thanks. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 09:24, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Sources and references do not have to be in English. If the language of the reference is one you do not speak that does not make it not a reference. Any language is okay. Antonioatrylia (talk) 09:28, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Antonioatrylia: Very true, I translate a lot of articles from Polish to English so I would know. My issue is mainly with the lack of clear evidence supporting the notability of this person, but after doing some digging I found at least one art museum (or similar) that hosted his work.

Speedy deletion declined: Roshan Lal

Hello Nicnote. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Roshan Lal, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: being a member of a notable parliament indicates significance. Thank you. SoWhy 14:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Hi, many thanks for your time considering this under CSD. I believe the article was written completely in a foreign language and unreferenced, and as a result was later deleted under A2. Thanks again, and will bear this in mind for the future. Best, Nicnote • ask me a question • contributions 07:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)
